I thought I should explain the photos that my mother posted. The first two (2001) look a bit pitiful - me as a pup after they just found me. I wasn't too sure about these people at first, but they did give me water and feed me their lunch. I still missed my mommy a lot (who knows where she went to... my human mom says that I have no sense about direction and claims that she's had to search for me repeatedly throughout our association), so I look kind of sad.

The picture of me with all the big rocks is happier. I'm smiling here because I've just gotten a new little sister (2003). She's a bit annoying, and was still really sick when this photo was taken, so I got to come to work without her. My humans are mapping an archaeological site while I sit in the shade and laugh at them. They are good for bringing me water, but don't have much sense when it comes to avoiding heat.

The final picture is from the summer of 2004. In this one, my sister is all healthy and she's attempting to kill me in one of our popular wrestling moves. We take turns winning - this time, I'm on the bottom (I'm the medium one, she's small). I enjoy biting her skinny chicken legs and trying to make her fall, while she likes to bite my jowls. In addition to wrestling on archaeological sites, we also enjoy wrestling (with lots of noise) when my parents have guests over and/ or as they're watching TV.

The latest photo added is one of my sister and I in our raingear. It rains a lot in Eureka and we dislike water (we'd rather hold it all day than go outside to pee), so my mother got us these coats. It's somewhat less painful to be outside in them.
