My story:
I was with all my brothers and sisters when these people came in. Me and my brother that was the same color as me were taken away from everyone else, and the lady started to play with both of us. She kept saying how big I was, and I decided to nibble on her fingers. She made a loud noise, and I stopped biting and licked her instead. That must have done it, because when my brother did the same thing, she made the same noise, and he just walked away. So she put this thing around my neck and picked me up and took me into the house. She and the other lady that I was used to sat at the table and talked and wrote some things, and then the guy came in and scritched my head.
Then they picked me up and put me in this big white thing that made a lot of noise. I didn't like it much, and we were in it for a long time. I threw up a few times, and finally we stopped, and they lifted me out of the big thing (which is a car), and carried me up some stairs and into a building.
I got to meet my new sister, who was a big yellow dog named Bontemps. She tried to play with me, but I wasn't ready for that. Then the other animal came over and sniffed me. I found out she is a 'cat' and her name is Phantom.
Well, it took a little while to adjust to everything, and sleeping in a cage wasn't fun at first, but I like it now, and go right in whenever my new Mom or Dad says. I don't think Dad likes the fact that I don't know what he's saying all the time, but Mom told him I'm still learning.
Mom likes to brush me all the time, and shave my feet and my face, and pull hair out of my ears, and I don't much like that, but I'm getting used to it. She tells me its what I get for being born a Poodle, so I guess my brothers and sisters are going through it too.
New stuff!!!
Mom says I grew up fast! She keeps saying something about me being 3ft tall at my head, but I don't know what that means. But I do know that Bon has to walk under ME now! I miss Phantom a lot, but the new kitties are fun. Twyla loves to play, and so does Guinness. But Guinness always wants to lay with me, and I don't want her to. I growl at her, but she doesn't go away, so I just get up and move instead. I won't bite her because I like her, but I don't want her THAT close to me!
And Mom got me a halloween costume. I like dressing up as a kitty! I didn't like the other thing she put on me, the 'workshirt' she called it, but I like this! Now I just need to learn to meow!
If you would like to talk to me, or if you would like to have a spot in the Gallery, leave my Mom, Kat mail, and she will take care of it (My Mom is soooo smart!).
