If Goofy Foster Mom doesn’t stop yelling at me about silly little things like eating her chair I will run away to join the circus.

My circus job?  Contortionist, of course. I’ll be world-famous as “The Canine Pretzel”!

See me in action…

So I pounce! Julia doesn’t know what hit her. Heh heh!  / Photo: Katerina Lorenzatos Makris

I’m like Cato in The Pink Panther! Ka-bam!  Photo: Katerina Lorenzatos Makris

Now I trap Julia’s head. / Photo: Katerina Lorenzatos Makris

I bite her. / Photo: Katerina Lorenzatos Makris

Finally she wakes up enough to bite me back. / Photo: Katerina Lorenzatos Makris

Then she bites me a little more. / Photo: Katerina Lorenzatos Makris

Fun! / Photo: Katerina Lorenzatos Makris

But then Julia just falls back asleep. / Photo: Katerina Lorenzatos Makris
