Welcome to Tootie’s backyard. Hang around to meet Tootie’s friends and find out what he learned today.

Tootie

Hi, I’m Tootie. My mama says I’m a schnauzer. My full name is Tornado, but my people call me Tootie. You can, too. She wanted to nickname me Toto after a famous dog that went on tornado-based adventures. I like Toto; he’s a cool dog. But, Tootie’s a cooler name, so I convinced them to call me that instead. I like to collect toys and play with my people. I also like going on adventures, but my favorite things to do are to hang out with my friends and make new ones. Anyway, my best friend, Yoshi, and I love to hang out with our friends and neighbors. We get to hang out with some of them all year long. Others only vacation here, and we only have a few months each year to see them. Sometimes, we play with Grandma around her garden, and she teaches us about new friends.

Yoshi

Hi, I’m Yoshi. I’m a lab, German shepherd mix, and I love to play with Tootie and our friends. Our friends are from different backgrounds. Some of our friends are birds who live in trees and bushes in the yard. Others are amphibians and reptiles who live in the creek behind our yard. Some are mammals like us. We even have bug friends. I love learning about our friends’ favorite foods and hobbies.
