My dog always makes me smile. We play these games and he is quite a weird character. Sometimes I'd chase him around the house and then I'd stop, turn and run the other way and he'd chase me all around the house then I turn again sharply and he'd stop and stare me in the face. Oh, that's another - staring competitions.

I can be sitting minding my own business and he'd be sitting on his bed or lying down staring at me so I stare at him back.. I normally win this though because my dad only has to open a sweet bag and my dog looks at him.

Then there's other times when he's laying down and I sit on him (not REALLY sit on him, just lean over him) and I tell him not to move. So then he tries to 'bite' (poor thing, couldn't bite if he tried, he's too sweet) me and kicks his legs in the air. Then there's other times when he's standing infront of me and I make these 'robotic' movements.. like moving my arm, then leg.. slowly.. and he'd move with me. So if I move my arm he moves his head, if I then move my leg he wags his tail, then stops and we both freeze. Then I'd run after him and he'd scoot it the other way. He's a lovely dog, very friendly, and when I'm feeling sad he is there only too willing to give a hug, or more, I hug him.
His name is Sammie, and I love him to bits.
