A New Home

I Am One Year Old!

Gee, having a birthday is fun! Mommy sang to me and gave me a Birthday Bear toy. Then she baked a special cookie for me in the shape of a big bone. It was enormous so I let Cami and Gemma have some when they came to my party. Gemma is such a baby- she thought the bear was for her too. Mommy says she will have a 6 month birthday in just 4 days, so I let her play with it for a little while. Check out my new picture- it was taken last month but I look pretty much the same now, and I still weigh 3.1 pounds, or I did, before my cookie. Ymmm...

Oh, I almost forgot. I saw snow for the first time and I had fun playing in it and eating it too. Then it started to stick to me and Mommy had to warm up my face hair to get the ice out.

At Last!

I have been looking for friends to play with (Cami still doesn't play even though I bring my toys to her) and while I have met many bunnies and squirrels and opossums and birds and turtles and even some kittens and dogs- I still have been kind of sad not to have someone full time. [Did I mention I go to work with my Mommy and that is where are the animals and some really nice people are?] Well, now I have a baby sister. We actually are related, though I don't get that whole family tree thing. She is 6 months younger than me, but she really knows how to play! And even if she takes toys right out of my mouth, that's okay, because she really is good fun. I'll tell you more about her soon.

All Better

Sorry I haven't written in a while but they took that big thing off my leg and I've been running around and playing. It was a little scary at first, so I just held my leg straight out, but then I started to bend it and it seemed okay. Mommy said it looked like a chicken bone because it had been shaved and had no hair, but it is growing back now so it doesn't look so funny.
Anyway, it is my 6 month birthday and Mommy says the only thing that really has grown a lot is my hair. She weighed me again last week and I was still just a smidge over 2 pounds. Well, I am small boned, aren't I?
Chamomile still won't play, but she lets me be next to her when we are getting treats or taking a nap. She sure knows how to tell time- she reminds Mommy when it is time for dinner every day. I don't talk as much as she does, but I do have fun running around and pretend barking every afternoon. But I know I have to be quiet at work and when I'm travelling places in my bag.
