It is a cold, grey, and windy fall day. I am a long way from home. I was born in northern Georgia a little over a year ago. My mama adopted me when I was very small and took me to live in Alabama. Just after my first birthday, my whole family moved to New Mexico. That is where I live now. It's a lot colder here, and I have to wear a sweater every day, now that summer is over. I'm still very small (under 2 pounds). At night, I sleep with a heating pad, and during the day, I like to snuggle with mommy or with my sisters, who are all very warm. I love to play, too. This past year, I've grown a lot, maybe not in size, but in muscle tone, coordination, agility, and cognition. I'm excellent at fetching, and I have learned how to catch soft toys that are thrown to me. I'm very fast, too, and I love to run. My size used to limit me, but mom says I'm determined. I can jump really high, and I have learned to jump on both of the couches and mommy's bed. And if something is really high, I've learned how to climb. I'm like a little mountain climber. Mama found me on a desk a few days ago. My most favorite thing to climb, though, is mom. I can climb up her body like a cat, and when I reach her head a give her kisses; this makes her laugh, and it makes me very silly. I love to make mama laugh. My mom thinks I'm just about the prettiest little thing she's ever seen, and she loves me to death. My personality is really sweet. I'm the poster child for calm submissive. I haven't met anyone I don't trust, and I get along super with all of my sisters. I'm very calm and quite happy most all the time. I'm good at sharing, happy to play with anyone, obedient, quiet, and very gentle. I'm a good girl. I'm excited to see what the coming year will bring. Maybe it will snow. Maybe next year will bring another new home; mommy says she feels the winds changing again. I have a good life, and I am loved.
