Wow! I cannot believe how the time goes. I have been so busy with my family that I can't seem to find time to paw an entry...plus where we live right now we don't have anything but slow old dial-up Internet...Dad's been working out a way for us to have high-speed though.
Well, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's were all wonderful for me. My adoring family shared some good stuff with me. I didn't receive any toys for Christmas this year (Mom had recently bought & given me some new tennis balls), but I did receive a new food bowl that matches the water bowl she bought several months ago. She wised up and purchased one of the stainless steel bowls that has the rubber stuff on the bottom to keep it from sliding across the floor whilst I am eating. Practical gift, but very important considering one of my fav things to do is eat.
It has been a blessing to have my new sister, Savannah, to play with (though from time to time she gets on my nerves...Mom assures me this is normal, as she and her sisters didn't & don't always get along). Savannah really enjoyed Christmas & got several toys for gifts...Mamaw & Papaw get her lots of toys, because she has such a short attention span that she has to have a lot to keep her busy (and from chewing up National Geographics, historical fiction/non-fiction books, and playing cards -- yeah, the toys are working ;) No, really Savannah is learning how to behave properly. She is much more successful with the potty training bit than she was the last time I wrote, and she has learned some tricks...she can sit, stay, wait, lie down, jump, and sort of crawl when Papaw tells her. Mom worked a little with her recently on catching things in her mouth...Savannah was able to catch a few pieces of popcorn & then later, her little tennis ball a couple of times. She needs more work to get as good as me though...my mouth-eye coordination is more developed.
The past few days here it has been unusually warm, but I've enjoyed it greatly. Mom & I went for a nice long walk yesterday, and ended up being joined by one of the neighbors (nice Mrs. Frances W.) Hopefully we'll get to visit with her again soon.
Well, I am going to go for now. Mom says it is time that she used the computer to get some work done.

As promised...some time ago...here's a pic of me and my new friend and play-mate, Savannah. She came to our home in early September, and since then we've become the best of friends...actually, she's more like a baby sister (with very sharp teeth). We like to play tug, chew on one another, and beg for treats. Mom, Papaw, and I are teaching Savannah some tricks...she already knows how to sit, and we are working on down, shake, and roll-over. Oh, and Mamaw is trying her best to potty-train Savannah...which is going a bit slow...Savannah is also known as "The Dribbler." Hopefully, we'll have her trained very soon...although, Savannah and I both have to admit that watching the slaves...er...humans clean up is quite amusing. Well, I must go and play some more. Later.

Okay, so I haven't pawed an entry in a long time. Sorry...things have been pretty wild here, so I haven't had very much time or inclination to dish about what I or my humans have been up to doing. However, I cannot let this latest event pass unnoticed or unmentioned...today a new puppy came in to the pack. My current pack consists of me, Mom, Dad, Mamaw, Papaw, and Uncle Adam (extended pack is too numerous to mention), and today a new puppy was delivered to our house by a friend of Mamaw's. The latest addition is a buff (though I don't think she's very muscular) cockerspaniel who Mamaw has dubbed "Savannah" (in honor of all the $ she is spending there on Uncle Adam's extended education...he's trying to become an architect---perhaps he'll eventually design me my very own luxury bungalow, equipped with automated everything). Anyway, Savannah is tiny...she is barely 6-weeks old, and she is always after me when she is awake. This frightens me, because I am sure she intends to find milk valves on me...I have no wish to be nibbled...especially considering I do not, and in fact, have never had any desire to be a milk-dribbler. Now, when the milk-fiend is asleep, that's a different story...she's actually kind of sweet and cute, and that's when I take my sniffs of her. Speaking of which, I think I'll go check on her now. More later...w/pictures.
