"A dog is the only thing on earth that will love you more than he loves himself." - Josh Billings

This is Peanut! He is my dog and is currently nine years old but still has a ton of energy! Peanut is a brown, black and tan. He weighs approximately twelve pounds. Peanut is a purebred Yorkshire Terrier, or Yorkie. Peanut and I go on walks about two to three times per day, and he is always super excited! Peanut's favorite snack are Frosty Paws, which is ice cream made specifically for dogs, but he also enjoys eating carrots and bananas. We celebrate Peanut's birthday, August 30th, by making sure he has his Frosty Paws ice cream and a new toy. His favorite toy is anything that squeaks, but he also loves stuffed animals which he uses to cuddle and sleep with. On snow days or rainy days Peanut still has so much fun playing and running around outside. It isn't so much fun for me but that's okay, as long as he's happy. Every night Peanut and I cuddle before bed and he's the perfect dog even though he snores sometimes. So, do you have any pets that are juts as fun as Peanut?

    Peanut is adorable. My great aunt used to have a Yorkie named Sir Oliver. He was so cute.

    I really like your exercises. Good job!
