   Hi, my name is Crystal. I live in Linwood, NJ, which is real close to the Beach and river. I have lots of other friends, both boyfriends and girlfriends. Most of my friends live on my street and we visit each other all the time. My favorite friend on my street is Dakota who is a golden retriever. We play almost daily. Sometimes he comes to my house and waits on my step, and other times I go to his house to swim in his pool. Other things that I enjoy to do is to visit my other neighbors. I always pretend to them like I am really hungry, and they always give me dog biscuits. Usually in the morning, my mommy will feed me, then let me out for my daily inspection of the yard, to make sure there were no intruders during the night. After my inspection, I go to Percy's fence and wait for him to come out of his workshop. I know right where he keeps his cookie jar. I won't stop talking to him, until he gives me a cookies. Once I have swallowed that in one bite, I will go and wait for my other neighbor, Sue to check on her pool. I always let her know, that I did not see anyone else in her yard, however, once in a while Sheeba comes to visit, but she is ok, because we play. Once we talk for a little while, Sue gives me a biscuit and off to work she goes. Then there is Dave out back. Dave stores his motorcycle in the shed there, right by our fence. He always comes out and talks to me, and we usually have a pretty good conversation. I let him know, how hungry I am, that no one ever gives me goodies (ha, ha, little does he know), and low and behold he feels sorry for me and gives me a biscuit. Then there is Mr. Richie across the street. He is usually home all day, and when the weather is nice, my Mommy & Daddy let me stay out all day and guard my kingdom of the back yard. Mr. Richie usually comes over around lunch time to pet me and feed me lunch of one or two biscuits that I know he keeps in his pocket. Then I usually sleep the rest of the afternoon, since my tummy is so full. There are other days, that my Mommy and Daddy keep me real busy. Sometimes we go to Grandma and Grandpa's house on the River, and all my cousins come over, there is Apollo- black lab, Kaya - black lab, Keltie - chocolate lab, Roscoe Lab/Rot, and Kaylee - mix we all play in the river and swim all day long. Sometimes, Mommy or Daddy will take me in the Kayaks, canoe or on the tubes. I especially love the tube, we just float around in the water. We also go to the beach a lot to Dog Beach, I usually meet all kinds of dogs there, we usually have fun running in and out of the water, and make sure you shake all the water off while mommy is trying to relax and get a tan. Well, off to meet some more friends. Dakota is waiting at the front door, we are going to run around for a while and roll in the grass.
