The dogs worse good again this week. Here are my top five. At number five, we have Mozzie. We're pretty sure he's learned how to spell. I need to wrap this up clearly because he's getting tier rank, and we need to go to the P A R K to play with our friends. And number four, we have a great dane named Lucifer doing a wonderful job playing gently with his little sister. And number three, we have Ellie. I have seen dogs do a lot of things, but this is a first. Ellie? What are you doing?
