Hello everyone! My name is Chloe Covey Sweet (hehe....at least that's what my pedigree says). My humans call me Chloe!

I came to live with my family in July 2006. I was just a little squirt. My new owner smelled so good when she picked me up! I rode on her lap the whole way home. I was a good little traveler the very first day. She hugged me a lot and gave me lots of kisses. I loved sleeping with her at night and cuddling up right beside her. She had fuzzy little toys for me and she took me everywhere. I didn't mind the leash at all and we started going on walks. My owner has juvenile fibromyalgia and walks help her manage her condition so we go on lots of walks. I get so excited when she reaches for the leash. I really love to go for walks. I am especially fascinated with butterflies. I love to just sit down and watch them. Now that I'm older and respond to voice commands, my humans let me go out in the yard without a leash. I love that freedom! I can chase birds but still love to just sit down and watch the butterflies. Squirrels are quite fun but I haven't caught one yet. I like to sit outside and cock my head sideways and listen to the birds.

I LOVE to talk to my humans. I learned that "no bark" meant you can talk instead so boy...do I talk! I still "alarm bark" when someone or something is outside but that's an okay bark. I make a lot of noises when I talk....my humans laugh and talk right back. It usually ends with me jumping in their laugh for pets and kisses!

When they whisper, "on your mark, get set, go!" I know to run to the door and go chase down the tomcat outside. I'm really fast but I still never catch them. I sure keep them out of my humans yard though!

I get really excited when Jillie loads me up in the pickup. That usually means we're going to the farm and I'm going to help herd the pigs or cattle. Wahoo! Gosh I love to do that. And I'm not a sissy girl....I LOVE the mud puddles. Jillie has to give me a bath and wash my paws sometimes so I don't get messy mud or pig mud on everything.

My very favorite treat is a dingo bone. Geez....I'd do anything for a dingo bone. They're kind of expensive though and now with Cooper here, we get dog biscuits...but they're okay!

I love to travel and go in the car. My humans take me lots of places. I know how to wait patiently in the car while they're in a building. I'm always so happy to see them when they come back out. I love to go through drive through windows. Sometimes a human hands me a dog biscuit but sometimes I get a cheeseburger! Yikes....it's so good!

Sometimes Jillie's mom takes me to her work. I get really excited when I see her with the leash because that means today I will be a pet therapy dog. She has an office where I can chill until someone comes to visit me. Then I go on walks and visit people in wheelchairs. When I get tired, I go back to her office and lay flat on my back, on her couch and sleep! Life is SO good.

I absolutely love the snow. This winter we've had a lot of snow and I get so excited. I love it when it's up over my back and I can run through it and make tunnels. I love to put my nose down on the snow and then flip up the snow. Jillie and Ethan play with me in the snow...i love to chase snowballs. And when they make snow angels..i run around and jump and bark. It's so much fun and I just love it when they are home. Ethan is a football kicker and I love to go help catch the football. They play with me a lot and I love to snuggle with them on the couch.

So...a few weeks ago, a new corgi came to live with me. I'll write more on my thoughts about this.....later. Woof out.
