Oliver Loves to Bike with Me
It's Oliver's turn to get interviewed, although this may be an interesting challenge. Getting inside the head of a toy-breed dog is not as simple as the more athletic breeds. Let's see what Oliver has to say:Oliver
"My mom sure is determined to keep me from running the house. Every time I tell Tanner to get out of the pool, she puts me on the step in a "Stay", and I have to watch while he swims and has fun. After I'm a good boy, she gives me a toy to chase around the porch. Sometimes I swim too, but it's not my favorite thing to do. She says I have to know how to get out of the pool because I'm so short. How many times do I have to prove to her that I know where the shallow step is?"
"My favorite activity is pretending to be a sled dog when we go biking. I'm really fast and can run for a long time. Sometimes I even pull mom. I only weigh 9 lbs, so she doesn't let me do it much, but it sure is fun to be in charge of the run."

"Toy breeds are often considered lap dogs, but I'm not sure I'm a toy breed. I like active things like agility training and walking with Tanner and Xena. We get lots of funny looks from passersby. Haven't they ever seen three dogs walking before?"
"I'm really glad my mom gives us all organic dog food. When we learned that Xena has cancer 2 years ago, Mom said we are all going to eat like she does. Xena's cancer cannot be removed with surgery, but she is still a happy, playful girl, after 2 years. I hope I live to be old like her. She really proved those vets wrong; they said she would only be with us for a few more months. Hah!"
"We have lots of toys at my house, but my favorites are the ones in the freezer. Mom fills hollow beef bones and freezes them with fillings like organic dog food, kibble, organic carrots, apples, and sometimes a little cheese. Yum! I love the cheese best."
" I really did enjoy showing up Tanner at agility class, but I was a little young and was not sure I liked being told what to do so much back then. Now that I'm all grown up I may go back and try it again. It was lots of fun to run and jump with mom; I didn't know she could do that stuff!"
