Sherman's Pen Pal

A couple of weeks ago, I was visiting my parents when I get a call from Jeff. Sherman got a package in the mail from Diesel!! Diesel is Joe and Amanda's Jack Russel Terrior. Jeff promised that he wouldn't open it until we got home on Sunday. We (Sherman and myself) were so excited to come home and see what he received! I think Sherman was more excited to ride in the car, but whatever... As soon as we got home, I presented the package to Shermy.

At first he just sniffed it and kind of walked away. Then Jeff had to step in and help. Somehow Diesel did a really GREAT job taping it. Amanda, I think you need to tell me how he did that!

As Jeff was getting the package open, Sherman and I waited on pins and needles!

Finally... the package was open! Diesel gave Sherman a copy of his absolute favorite toy and some of his treats. He also wrote him a note telling him it wasn't very nice to use the carpet as his personal restroom. (We need the dog whisperer) Sherman immediately demanded a treat. I must say, he LOOOOVES them. We save them for times when he is being annoying. It keeps him busy for about an hour, no joke.

I must admit. He wasn't too fond of the squeaky toy. Jeff has decided it was his mission to make him like it! We offer it to him all the time. He is slowly coming around to it. His favorite toy is still that silly hot dog. I can't believe that last min. $2 ugly hot dog is his favorite. haha

We had such a great time opening up his first gift from his pen pal! Diesel is awesome and Sherman told me that he is his best friend! Sorry Rusty and Cosmo, you come in a close second.

Well, Sherman is now demanding my attention, so I probably should go. I never thought I could love an aminal as much as Sherman William Mueller!
