Where's Petey?

Petey was nowhere to be found when it was time for him to go to his yard and his owner had about given up finding him on their ranch. It wasn't until she decided to go ahead and leave that she walked out to her truck and found Petey, ready and waiting. Petey obviously had other ideas.


What is it about cars and dogs? "Wanna go?" is all I have to say to my dog and he tears out to the garage as if he's afraid I might change my mind if he doesn't hurry. I wish it was that easy to get the kids into the car of a morning!

Thank you, Beth. I thought he was a pit too, but he's not which really surprised me and now I can't remember! Ooops! I believe she said his breed originated in Australia. Now I'm curious! I'll have to email her and ask.
