Calypso the dog says: "Hey guys!! My name is Calypso. I'm a really sweet girl, and incredibly smart. I can wave, bow, high-five, sit, lay down, and smile, but I don't come when called. Oh well, nobody's perfect, right? My person, Leirin, adopted me from the animal shelter during her 7th grade summer. I was a little shy at first, but I eventually came out of my shell. Strangers freak me out a little, but as long as they leave me alone, they're fine. Normally I'm a pretty relaxed, easy-going dog, but I can be kinda crazy at times. I love sleeping on Leirin's bed, and I hop right on it as soon as she leaves for school. She catches me sometimes, but I don't think she really cares. Well, that's pretty much all there is to know about me!!"
