Wally

Pearce loves it whenever I have to go mail something because that means we get to see Wally...the sweetest chocolate lab ever!  Wally goes to work with his owner, Hope at the cutest little mailing store by our house.  I remember when Hope first got him as a puppy and he has just grown to be the calmest dog ever.  He has his own bed and toys and whenever we walk in and see Wally, Pearce says "Oh Wally!"  And he just goes over and starts loving on Wally.  Wally just lays there and lets Pearce pet him, kiss him, lay down next to him!  Sometimes, we don't have anything to mail, but just want to go see Wally and we'll just pop in to get some Wally love.  Every once in a while, I'll give Pearce a doggy treat to take to Wally :)  We went to see Wally today and I finally remembered to bring my phone to take some pics!  I just LOVE that Pearce is such a dog/animal lover.  Whenever we go to Petco to get dog food, Pearce loves looking at the ferrets, birds, fish, mice, hamsters.  It's really fun if we get to see a dog getting groomed.  If we're outside and Pearce sees a squirrel, he gets so excited and loves watching it.  The only problem is that Pearce will go up to any dog and immediately want to pet it.  I've been trying to teach him that you have to ask the owner first if you can pet it because not all dogs like to be pet.  The other day we were at the park and a lady had her dog on a leash and Pearce wanted to pet the dog so I told him we had to go ask the lady.  He walked right up to her and said "I pet your dog?"  It was so cute and I was proud of him for asking the lady :)  Speaking of Petco, when we were there last night, I let Pearce pick out a bag of dog biscuits for Otis and Daisy.  When we got home, he gave them each one and then wanted one for himself.  He BEGGED me so I thought he would totally take one bite and think it was gross....nope....he ate the whole thing.  This morning he had a big fit because I wouldn't let him have another one.  I told him he is not a doggy and only doggies can eat those and he said "NO, I AM a doggy!"  He will now feed Sissy (Daisy) all by himself.  He opens the container, fills a cup with food and pours it into her bowl....and then licks his hand to get any crumbs :)  I've always thought Pearce reminded me of a little puppy!
