A cousin's mom writes a book about him.

4 yo Titus, who lives on a farm in Canada
Victoria Lechler, has written about her Black Russian Terrier Titus, she made it available for free, on Titus' birthday (4/13/17), it regularly sells for $8.99, and is also FREE if you are a Kindle Unlimited member. 

Dear Titus, Letters I Wish My Dog Could Read, the introduction:
Dear Titus, When we first met you didn't cuddle me sweetly as I imagined you would but instead bit my nose and barked at me. Right then I knew that life with you might not be peaceful but it would also never be boring. You have never stopped making us laugh with your antics, such as, your insane love of the vet that leads you to vibrate like a sugar high kid who ate their entire haul of Halloween candy in a 15 minute binge. Your desire to copy us and be "just like people" has led to you trying to drive the truck, rinsing and spitting in the bathroom after brushing your teeth, attempting to sew and lining up your stuffed toys to watch TV. You are not the easiest dog to bath or clip. When you wipe our face on my towel after refusing to let me dry you off with your own towel or when you sit on me and trap me when I am trying to groom you I am not sure whether to laugh or cry. It isn't always easy living with a genius puppy who has a giant dog body and the curiosity of nine cats but it is often funny...at least for those who just read your stories instead of living through them.
 Dad went to Amazon and got a FREE copy, he has started reading the book, he laughs and looks at me as he reads it.

While walking downtown I got to show off my obedience.

Mom was feeling a little under-the-weather, too much oak tree pollen, and Ms. Poppy kept her company, so our walk downtown was just me and dad.  We stopped by La Torre's, but Steve was busy, so a nice lady held my leash while dad went in to get me a cookie.  It was then onto the coffee shop, where dad tied me up to the hitching post while he went in to get a cup of coffee.  I was a little bad, he had to come out and remind me that I was in a sit-stay.

After dad had some of his coffee we continued the walk.  At Amelia Fine Jewelry, there were no cookies on the ledge, so I had to do a sit-stay while dad went in to get me a cookie.

Onward to Amelia Tavern, where dad was ordering lunch to take home to mom.  I did a very good sit-stay while he ordered.  I repeated my sit-stay when he went in to pick-up the order.

Ms. Anne, who was having lunch on the patio, was so impressed that she came out to say hello, and tell dad what a good dog I was.  When dad explained that I had a blog Ms. Anne was happy to have her picture taken with me.  Ms. Anne is visiting Fernandina from Milton, Ga.
