Ray Ray

by Chantel Chandler
(Nashville Tn.)

He is snowy white with patches of golden brown on his back, tale, and a patch on each eye. His tongue never quite makes it all the way in his mouth, it just sticks out ever so slightly. Everyone he meets says he looks like Gizmo from the Gremlin movie, or like a furby. He is very energetic, expect when it comes to things like jumping, (he prefers to be lifted) and eating, (He likes his food cut up.) He is very, very spoiled. When playing with a toy he looks at you like a kid on Christmas morning, wide eyed and excited for no reason, he has a breathing problem so he snorts, and snores a lot! Especially when holding something in his mouth. And when he get frustrated he growls like a bear cub. I don't know where he learned this, but when he is in trouble he runs about five feet away, looks at you, (he actually makes a sad face) and slowly rolls to one side until he plops over and shows his belly and cries until he gets it rubbed.

He is a very good dog, so he doesn't have to do it much, and 9 times out of 10, that trick keeps him from getting yelled at. He is our families baby, he loves to wrapped in a blanket or toted around in a stroller. The only thing we wish we could change is he VERY curious and we have to keep a close eye on him, even when he's sleeping. (He has a habit of falling off the bed, and our beds are pretty elevated.)
