...hiding from the Bear

Ok, I'm not as young as I used to be....(actually you can say that statement everyday and be correct), so this is the reason why I am laying down, panting and keeping a look out for my buddy Bear.  I will be 4 this year on July 4th and Bear just turned 1, so it is easy to see why he sometimes wears me out.  This younger generation of bow wow's have got a lot of get up and go!  Being more mature and smarter, I know when to play my paws and right now the most intelligent move on my part, is to lay low and catch some O2.  By the way, I hope you got the hint....my birthday is coming soon!!!         see ya.............Ralphy
