Arrival Story:
Pandora's mom (a tiny little rednose pit bull) was found giving birth in the middle of a busy street in Oakland. Mom and pups were taken into fostercare and put into the Bad Rap program. I was vaguely looking for a Labrador (I wasn't really looking seriously for a dog at all) and came across this darling cream-colored 8-week-old puppy that looked like a blue-eyed, pink-nosed Lab puppy. Once I convinced the boyfriend to meet her, she suckered him in with her waggy tail and general lickiness, and we did a crash course on puppies and Pit Bulls and Labradors. And two weeks later we had a 10-week-old pup who didn't look quite so Labby anymore. Tee hee. Grown up she's alllllll pit bull in personality (and super smart to boot) and I couldn't be happier.

Bio:
A genetics expert tells me that it's unlikely that Pandora is half Labrador due to yellow coat genes travelling on different "series" in Labs and Pit bulls or some such. It's more probable that Pandora's deadbeat dad was a Shar Pei or Shar Pei / Lab mix. (Shhhhhhhh.) Pandora would like to add that she thinks her underbite adds character and that she got her CGC on the first try and is very proud of herself.

Gunther is showing off as a dock diver so Mom felt bad for me and entered my favorite photo of myself in a contest.

Vote for me so that Gunther remembers who the real superstar is!

I'd be much better at dock diving if I wanted to throw myself into a freezing body of water. I mean, seriously. Boys will be boys...

My bizarro twin isn't here anymore. They tell me that he died in a freak accident, but I don't quite understand what that means. I keep thinking he's going to come around and play with me, but he's nowhere to be found. He's not even at the Paco Collars studio, and that's his place of business!

Usually when I get to visit Ana I have Paco to hang out with. This time it's just me, the people, and some crazy mutant puppy that everyone (including Mom!) thinks is cute and I think looks and acts like she's part cat or something. Plus, nobody seems to have noticed that she doesn't have any FUR. Not to be judgemental, but that's just kind of weird and everyone is acting like it's normal.

OK, OK. I like the puppy. I even play with her and she smells like grape candy. But still, she's not Paco.

Usually I think I'm pretty smart about people. But right now I'm not quite sure what's going on - everyone's sad, Paco's not here, and usually Ana vacation is a big party (for me of course). But everyone seems happy that I'm here (and that puppy really needs to learn that I am the Queen of the Universe, so it's good that I'm teaching her young), so I guess things will be OK.

Ana even let me in the bed. I love being in the bed.

Anyway, people are telling me that Paco is gone, so I guess that means I don't get to see him anymore. I'll miss Paco. He was my first real pit bull pal (besides Gunther of course - but he doesn't count, he's my brother), and he was a good pal. He was smart (smart enough to keep up with me!) and he had a funny sense of humor. He also talked. A LOT. I don't mean silent dog-dog talking, I mean lots of crazy noises that made the humans laugh a lot.

Paco also knew a lot of neat tricks. He even did tricks that I didn't do, like balancing things on his nose. I told him that I was too dignified to do these kinds of circus acts, but Paco really loved doing that stuff. And I have to admit that I liked watching him - he was a funny guy, that Paco. We just had a lot of fun together at the studio especially, and when there were lots of people to charm I of course would go be the social butterfly so that Paco could retain his own dignity. We all have to be dignified in our own ways of course.

I have a thing for dark boys, especially the ones with underbites. At least Pester's around to serve as the resident smart small troublemaking dark dog. But I'll still miss Paco. Pester talks a lot too and he has an underbite (a sign of intelligence and wit) but he doesn't know the nose trick. And I don't think he knows "bang bang!" trick either. Paco taught me that trick.

Sigh.
