"Type a paragraph in which you use at least two linking commas, two semicolons, and one colon."
Does the paragraph below match the criteria above?
My dog, Bruno, is absolutely amazing; he's so many things for a one year old Miniature Pinscher: funny, smart, athletic, and annoying sometimes too. He loves chewing rawhide bones all day; however, he chews many other things as well: his collapsible water bowl, harness, and even his leash! But thankfully, I've finally gotten time to train him and everything is now safe; that is, everything that belongs to him. He's now resorted to chewing my arm and brand new shoes; nevertheless, he is still the loveable, sweet, adoring puppy I met 8 months ago. Now, if only I could get him to stop whining so loudly when I leave the room for a glass of water.
Also, I need at least 125 (this is only 116 words). All of this is made up so I could use some advice on what to add.
Thank you very much.

Yes, the paragraph you provided meets the criteria of using at least two linking commas, two semicolons, and one colon. Here's the breakdown:
1. Linking Commas:
- "My dog, Bruno, is absolutely amazing"
- "he's so many things for a one year old Miniature Pinscher: funny, smart, athletic, and annoying sometimes too"
2. Semicolons:
- "He loves chewing rawhide bones all day; however, he chews many other things as well: his collapsible water bowl, harness, and even his leash!"
- "But thankfully, I've finally gotten time to train him and everything is now safe; that is, everything that belongs to him."
3. Colon:
- "He's now resorted to chewing my arm and brand new shoes; nevertheless, he is still the loveable, sweet, adoring puppy I met 8 months ago."
To increase the word count, you can expand upon some of the points you have mentioned. For example, you could elaborate on the specific training methods you used or share anecdotes about Bruno's behavior. Additionally, you might consider giving further details about how he reacts when you leave the room or add more about his personality traits and quirks. Remember, the goal is to provide meaningful and engaging content.
