Alot of people wonder why my dog's name is "Bob" so I thought I would share this! Because of my Angelman Syndrome, I have just a few words I can say with my mouth. I say "with my mouth" because there are TONS of things I can say with my sounds, my expressions, my hands and my talker. One of the names I can say is "Bob." Mom and Dad knew this because I have an Uncle Bob and I learned how to say his name pretty quickly. So...because "Bob" was a name I could say...that's how my dog came to be named "Bob." Now here is the really funny part! At the same time I was getting my dog Bob, my Uncle Bob got a new puppy for Christmas. So...he named his dog "Emmet"
So Emma's dog is Bob and Bob's dog is Emmet! Family reunions should be a hoot! You can check out my video of me saying "Bob." You can also see how patient Bob is with me. We do have a few bumps in our relationship since he is still a puppy and I'm still new at having a puppy. I always want Bob to give me kisses but Bob usually wants to show me how sharp his little puppy teeth are! And just in case you are wondering...here is Uncle Bob and Emmet!
Bob is growing so big! I wonder if he is going to be taller than me someday! I still love being with him just as much as the very first day he came to live with me. We make quite the digging team...Bob loosens up the dirt and I scoop it into the bucket! We are getting better at learning to be with each other. I like to tease him by shaking my hand or foot by his face...then he likes to nip by hand or foot which then leads to both of us getting into trouble! 
I'm getting better at doing my Bob chores. Sometimes I like to mix the dog food and the water together...not a good idea since Bob doesn't like soggy dog food! If I had my way, Bob would have a chair at the table right beside me. Mom doesn't seem to like the idea so she is teaching Bob to lay on the floor when we are having dinner. Once again...one of us at a time...things go well...the two of us together...usually means trouble!
