[nagdu] Writing a blog

[Vivianna]

the most common questions that i get are;
what’s his name?
answer:
sorry, i don’t give out my dog’s name because, it’s a command name.

how old is he?
sometimes i answer this, sometimes i pretend i don’t know they are talking to me.  lol.

i have, of course had many many dumb questions as well but, those are the two most common.

question;
is that a show dog?
answer;
yes, she’s showing me where to go.

and so on and so on and so on…
