Espen, the Puppy

Espen is a puppy. He is a shih tzu. His fur is gray and white.

Every morning, after he wakes up, Espen barks for his daddy to let him out of his cage.

His daddy puts a blue harness and leash on Espen.

Then, Espen goes outside for his morning walk.

During the day, his mommy and daddy go to work. Espen spends his day in his pen in the basement. He plays with his toys and watches the cat.

When his mommy and daddy come home, Espen barks to say hello. His mommy takes him outside again for another walk.

Espen safely walks on the sidewalk. He likes to look at cars and other people.

After his walk, his mommy fills his bowls with food and water. Espen then eats his dinner. His puppy kibble is delicious.

After he finishes eating, Espen spends the evening playing.

He chews on his rawhide bone and wrestles with his stuffed animals.

His favorite game to play is tug-of-war with the cat. Espen pulls on one end of the rope, and the cat pulls on the other.

At the end of the evening, Espen takes a shower with plenty of bubbly puppy shampoo to get squeaky-clean.

His mommy finally gives him a goodnight kiss and tucks him into his bed.

Goodnight Espen

Espen curls up with his teddy bear and falls to sleep.
