   Hi, my name is Jake I live in Oklahoma I'm only 113 pounds, of course that means one thing - I love to eat. I like to go to the park for walks (but mom has a bum knee right now). Can't wait till she gets better so we can go walk again. I also love to go in the car. It's getting hot here, but Mom will take me for a ride and turn on the A/C just for me. I love air conditioning, I do get to stay in all summer and hog the A/C as much as possible.

    I was supposed to be another obedience dog for Mom but I have Megaesophagus - when I sit my front legs shake badly so I cannot do obedience. I do know all the commands, also I know how to play dead, speak and a deadly "shake hands," due to my bear-like claws. My number one job is to be the watch dog at our house I also protect my little sister a Papillion, her name is Gizmo.

    Mom is great she makes real meat treats, I love to help her make them. I watch them when they are cooling in case one gets away & rolls on the floor - can't have a dirty floor. I'm a great watchdog when Mom makes our treats. I also watch to make sure they do not roll away. Well Mom is going to make treats, so better get off the computer so I can supervise the treat making.

    Love, Jake
