Sweet Caramel


Most people know our dog Caramel. She is a 4 year old beagle. She is very sweet, playful and extremely friendly. She loves to meet new people, and she loves to show everyone how lovable she is.


In addition to being very lovable, Caramel is also very obedient. She sits when we say "sit" she comes when we say "come" she goes into her Kennel when we say "Kennel" and obeys several other commands. There is one thing in this world that makes all of her obedience go out the window, her Orange ball.


Caramel is obsessed with her orange ball. She can't think of anything except her orange ball if it is out. She forgets how to "come" and how to "sit" when the ball is out.

Yesterday Jared and I had been playing with her and the orange ball and because she had behaved herself so well even though the ball was out, we let her keep it for awhile afterwards. Well about an hour after we had finished playing with her, Caramel came up to me while I was sitting next to Jared on the couch. She gave me her "please can I come up and cuddle with you?" look. She knows she can't get up on the couch without being asked. So last night, as an incentive for me, she put her ball in my lap and then nudged it toward me as if to say "mommy, I'll share my ball with you if I can come up and cuddles you." That is hands down the sweetest thing she has ever done.



Here is a video of her with her ball after a long session chasing it.
