Kangaroo Clarence

Hello, Clarence fans!

It's your good old boy Clarence here. Things are going great for me at Jenkins. I've learned all of my 13 basic commands and I perform them with perfection. I've also learned a couple of extras like kiss and roll over. My trainer thinks that me rolling over is the coolest thing ever. He says that it's amazing how I throw all 71 pounds of my noodle body on the floor and roll it over, then pick it back up again. He also started teaching me how to shake and he said if we have time we will learn spin. It sounds like fun, but it's going to take a lot to top my roll over - just sayin’!

Other than that, he's always talking about how handsome I am and how amazing my color scheme is. He tells everybody that I'm the best looking greyhound he's ever seen and he's always rambling on about how loving, playful, and well-mannered I am… whatever that means? And sometimes when I get really excited about something I’ll bounce straight up in the air and twist and turn. It's really fun! I'm not sure what it means but every time I do it he laughs and says he reckons that since I was bred in Australia, that I obviously have a little kangaroo in me.

All in all, this is the best vacation a dog could ask for. This guy feeds me good food, brushes my coat, cleans my teeth, he clips my nails, takes care of my ears, lets me hang out on the bed with him and watch TV every night, and he even lets me play with toys! I don't know how you guys plan on topping that, but I hope you're getting busy because my time at school here is coming to a close... see ya soon!
