He has brought us great joy through the love he displays to my wife and me every &#8230; single &#8230; day. He quite literally jumps for joy when we mention our granddaughter&#8217;s name in his presence. We tell him Emma is coming over and he can hardly restrain himself.<\/p>\n<p>Our puppy has been the most joyful addition to our clan than I can even imagine.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/highplainsblogger.com\/?p=6384\">Puppy tales, Part 3 | High Plains Blogger<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I just wanted to share the good news with those of you who have told me that you enjoy hearing about his exploits.<\/p>\n<p>The even better news is that Toby the Puppy is at the tippy-top of his game.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com\">johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Normally, when I offer a Puppy Tales installment it is to brag about something new in Toby the Puppy&#8217;s life, a revelation that he delivers to us, a new example of just how smart and adorable he is.
