Listen Close & Run with Both Ears Turned Up
We have a toy poodle, and his name is Charlie. We have had him for almost 9 years. We think Charlie is pretty smart…he can sit AND stay, but what I think makes Charlie really smart is how he listens and then runs with both ears turned up. Our family has to spell the word R-I-D-E because if…
