Arrival Story: The first time I remember Cindy's scent, I was very small...I wasn't even getting out of the den very much yet. I remember she picked me up and held me under her chin, and I thought she had a really good scent with other dog smells from her . And I thought she was really really gentle. I remembered her voice after that too. Every time she came to visit after that I remembered her. One day, Cindy and her friend Ronnie Sue came, and Ronnie Sue and my grandma breeder Marti put me through all these fun exercises. Cindy told me later it was a temperament test. Me 'n all my brothers and sisters got to do it, but I had way more fun with it. I didn't even think it was a test. In the den at Marti's, I was known as "Miss Red" cuz I wore a red collar.
Bio: I am the daughter of Miss Ronnie Sue's dog, Byrt, and Ella, who belongs to our friends Don and Mary. My bloodlines come out of the CarrKees Kennel. I was the third Keeshond that Cindy has had. When I was young, we went to a lot of dog shows and had great fun with it. I have one brother dog in the Snow Pack, his name is Barney, he's a mixed breed terrier.

I've Been On Dogster Since:
So, Cindy has hurt her back, it's been really owie...and this has been a big concern for the whole pack.
But today, she was all worried because it should've been my bath day but she can't do it...she could do Barney cuz he's little, but I needed one too, even I knew that.
I was thinking of running through the sprinklers or something but I didn't really think she'd buy that...
And then we get in the car, and drive over to the SPCA station that's really close...and I got all worried cuz there were all these guys out there washing cars with hoses and big buckets of soapy water.
Dear dog...she's not gonna turn me over to them?
But no, of course not. A nice lady named Stephanie came and got me and then her and Tina gave me a very fine bath and nice towel dry, they were so nice to me, and on a hot Hawaii day the bath felt really nice.
And then I found out that my dog bath got a donation for the doggies at the shelter. Wow, how cool is that.
I think Cindy should let SPCA give me my baths more often...we gotta check this out.
So Cindy woke up early enough this morning to really cook breakfast...and she made scrambled eggs with ham and cheese and made enough to give me n' Barney some...then she went with her coffee to go sit watching TV (golf is on, something about President's Cup)...and me n' Barney got to have chew sticks and sit with her on the sofa and be scratched and petted while we muched away.
You know...ever since quarantine...ever second we are together as a pack, every laugh we share, every time I get to just lay against her and feel her scent really strong and feel her heartbeat...well, those are all very precious moments now.
Not bitter about quarantine or anything, cuz we just had to do it to stay together...but it sure does make a dog appreciate the little things in life even more.
I hope we have many many many more Sunday mornings like this.
I don't know if anything makes four months in dog prison "worth it" but the dynamic dog duo had one hell of a fine time romping all over Haleiwa Beach which we had pretty much all to ourselves when Cindy took a day off and drove us out there. We knew it was someplace special right away, cuz Cindy used to think about taking us there and talk to us about it in quarantine. I had been to the ocean before but not Barney...at first, he was really puzzled by the big ocean and the waves, but then he got so excited about exploring stuff he just ran and ran and ran with me. Even on our flexi leads, it felt like thw whole earth and sky were open to us, that we could run forver. And then, Barney saw this lady doing something called "stand up paddling" (paddling on a surfboard). He got so excited about that he actually ran into the waves like he was gonna swim to her...but of course Cindy pulled him back. The Stand Up Paddly lady laughed at Barney and said he was cute. Barney wants Cindy to learn that...but she says she knows Barney's just gonna be a joy rider though.
Running on the sand, dancing with the waves, digging in the sand...wow, that stuff really flies...it was like all my dreams for the days in quarantine about what I wanted to do came true at one time...
The long strange trip is done, we are really in our new home now...
