Other back paw. Immature male apedog puppy. Smaller than Terri. No fur on face, short fur on head, runs around barking lots. Sits on two-wheel-go-fast-thing WATCH OUT JACK - YOU STUPIDOG. He is good to cuddle. He helps me dig for bones. Often he gives me Sugar Puffs and bits of toast and peanut butter - funny, sticky - but nice taste. He is called Pete. I love him a HUGE LOT. More than cow-liver, even.

Tail. Other male apedog puppy. Small. Very small. Was smaller. First he was a roly-poly no-fur puppy, getting milk from Pack Lady - NO, NOT FOR YOU, JACK. Why not?

Anyway, now he is standing-up-type apedog, but short. He is friendly. When I kiss him, he licks my face. He is called Mikey and also Baba. I love him LOTS. More than chicken.
