Sinatra - Cuz I do it my way

Sinatra is one and a half, his birthday is on St. Pattys day! He came to us @ 8 weeks old and was smaller than a Pringles can. We didn't expect him to be so needy! He was very much the little infant. Now he is just like a toddler, getting into things he isn't supposed to and always wanting to play.

His favorite game is tug of war. He likes chasing his Kong ball around the house too but doesn't like to give it up once he has it. When he finally relaxes he tries to snuggle up on Moms lap not realizing that he is 50 pounds. Mommy loves him so much though that even uncomfortable she allows him to sit there.

He knows most basic commands such as sit, down, speak, paw and can even take a bow. His favorite treat is a marrow bone and it keeps him content for hours and keeps his teeth sparkling white.

He hates baths and doesn't care much for getting his nails done but he loves to get dressed. His favorite sports team are the New York Yankees and The New York Jets and sports around clothing to show his support.

He loves to make new dog friends and gets along well although the bigger the dog the better as he is a bit of a roughneck and can be intimidating.

We enjoy watching Animal Planet while snuggling together and one of us always falls asleep.
He really misses his sister Kendra who passed away in Oct 2010 from old age, she was 14.
