Being adopted. Though every time I get to ride in a car is awesome, too.

Yes! Unless I bark at other dogs when out on walks. I'm really not supposed to do that but it's just so hard not to.

Between mummie and daddy, preferably taking up as much space as possible.

When I was first adopted, I got caught peeing on the bathroom rug. I've since learned to hold it for walks.

That's a tough one… Any time I get to go out is great, but I especially love it when I get to go in cars – which is pretty seldom these days.

Saturday or Sunday, when mum and dad are home all day.

Any show that's got dogs barking. I especially like it when daddy rewinds the dog barks over and over again with the TiVo.

A squirrel — so I could chase myself.
