I'm still a puppy so I act appropriately.  I'm very curious and active.  I do not like being left alone, with just my sister.  I have been chewing up towels and other things, but you know what, I don't get into trouble for it.  My new parents are very understanding and must love me very much to put up with some of my shenanigans. 

I can't explain why I want out in the garage so badly.  I'm now a house dog with my new big sister.  I do like to lay out in the sun.

We had a few weeks of tussling to get who was boss squared away.  It isn't me, but mom and dad, then sis.

I've already been to visit the doctor.  My mom, then my dad took me to get all my shots and things they needed to keep me healthy.

I get to eat all I want, when I want.  I'm gaining some of my weight back and my coloring is changing. 

 I use my paws like hands.  My mom and dad say if I had an opposable thumb I'd be a real trouble maker. 

I really caused my parents real heart aches because I didn't like being left alone.  I chewed through and escaped from the first crate they put me in.  It took me awhile, but I did it!  After much chewing and bouncing the thing around, I finally got out of it.  My sister thought I was nuts and was very angry with me.  They bought another crate, which I escaped from the second day they put me in it.  My parents were traumatized and so was I!

They put me in a room while they had to gone.  I chewed on the door knob, clawed the door, trim, and wall.  I was very afraid to be alone.  My mom was very sad and unhappy because she didn't want me hurting.  They had a psychiatrist come and visit with me and gave them advice on how to help me.  Mom tried lots of things, mostly time and lots of trials and errors.  They found something that smells very good and makes me calm done a little.  I can now stay in a crate (they bought another one) while they are gone.  I get some great treats to go in there!  I now go sit in my crate and wait for my treats.  I love my home!

I have been attacking things in the yard.  They are mostly turtle sculptures that mom had in her garden.  I don't think she is too happy with me about it, but I didn't get in trouble for deheading them.  All the other garden creatures have been removed.

There is a table on the patio that I like to get on so I can see over the fence. I can hear and smell better up there too!

I'm learning English!  My family thinks I am so smart.  The other day my mommie called "dinner" and I went to the kitchen.  She told me "not for you" so I left.

We got a new fence.  In the building of it I got out.  I know my mommie was really worried about me, but I think I was more worried about not getting BACK in the fenced yard.  I ran right in the gate when she opened it and I saw her.  I was sooooo glad she looked for me and wanted me back in the yard.  Now I can't see over the fence.  The new one is two feet taller, bummer, humpf.

I like to go all the time I get so excited when mommie gets out my harness.  I know I'm going somewhere.  I can hardly sit still while she hooks me in!

My sister and I are snow dogs.  We actually had a little snow in Texas in the year 2004.  Here are some pictures of me in the snow and with my sister .

I like laying in the sun and just taking it easy with my sis .

I am fascinated by things that fly and crawl! I'm going to grab it with my mouth   Hum, it isn't doing anything.   What happened to it, it isn't moving any more!

May 2005,  Guess what I have to go on a diet!  Can you believe it!  I have loose 5 pounds.  bum!
