My dog Pepper has a play date every afternoon during the week with the neighbor's Shepherd pup.... Pepper is a Cocker Spaniel and the two of them play very nice.... But then Pepper also plays with two cats that roam the 'hood and my bird.... He's also become a world class shop mutt and takes all his naps in bucket seat from a Mini-van, sits on my desk, and has trained everyone who comes to visit to give him a treat!!!!!! He also drinks his iced tea from a cup, but doesn't like coffee..... and some folks have the audacity to tell me he's spoiled!!!!!!
