Okay so I received a few emails about letting my brothers and sisters getting seen. So here is a link to see them at their finest.

Well, not only did my littermates email me, but you bi-pedals as well. You wanted to hear more of my story. Let me tell you, you are going to get lots more of it. I have been so busy lately I just haven't had the time to write more. Now though, with this small break I have, I shall update to the present, or at least close to it. Before I get ahead of myself again, let me continue with the camper.

This is not necessarily the best picture of the camper, but you get the idea. Of course, my mother had to be in the picture. But, who's that next to her? Strange, looks almost identical. During this stage of my life I was moving about pretty freely. People came over and watched us for hours. My human mommy slept with us for many days. Then one day I woke up and she wasn't there anymore. I had no idea where she was. Even my own mother was not with us pups. I had to go to the potty really bad. Where's myyyy mommmyyy?
I bet that is when this picture was taken. Oh, and my bladder. But, wait, stuff was coming from me without my mommy's help. Hoooray, I could go on my own!

Just as I was getting settled into this new environment. Everything changed! I was in a warm climate with lots of sun and some humidity. Then WHAM, I get packed up and moved to Indiana?!?!?! What are they thinking. Apparently my mother knew where we were. She seemed so much at ease and peace here in our new environment. But, the cold, the most bone chilling cold. I overheard mother having an argument with her mother. Apparently this is where she used to live. You mean I have a grandma too!! Wow, this is getting to be exciting. Even my human mommy was originally from here. And her mommy is here. This must be a grrrreat place. Everyone else seems to like it here, I guess I will have to adjust.

Managing to adjust became pretty simple. We had more room to move about. Lots and lots of room. There were many obstacle to over come though. I, still being the smallest of everyone, constantly had to fight to get a morsle of food. We were fed in a shiny silver round dish. It had this huge dome in the middle of it. The food was everywhere. I learned that if I didn't get much from the bowl, I could lick it off everyone's mouth, feet, their side, or even their tails. Hey, I had to survive. You try being the smallest and see if you get to eat first. HA, easier said then done.

When I seemed to grow some, my brother's and sisters grew more. When it was time to go and potty, we had to start going in this very big area. The ground was cool to the touch and very smooth. It was greyish in color. You had to be careful though, once you peed, it seemed to chase you. I was more careful then some of my relatives. They just walked right through each others stuff. How gross! Uncivilized I tell you.

There was even more adjustments to make. I learned to go up and down stairs. Of course, everyone else zoomed right by mean. I would rather wait at the top until some human came by and took me down. I got away with this for many weeks. I think they caught on though to my whining. I eventually had to start going down on my own. It wasn't too bad. Why should I do it, when someone else could do it for me? So, the stairs became a routine and easy thing to do. In no time, I was zooming by everyone else, even when we weren't supposed to go down.

And for some strange reason, I felt a link with him. Bah, probably something I ate. Hello, can we talk picnic! Yeah, this picture here, umm, I dunno. It almost didn't make the director's cut (mine). I don't think I look like a basket of any sort here. I mean what was going on, were they going to eat me, were ants going to attack me, or was I the sad end of a cruel joke. Oh well, I had to abide by the rules. I didn't want to be left out. This was the last of the adjustments, humiliation! It seems I was posed in hundreds of positions for just a simple shot. But, I have to admit, I am pretty cute!!!

The food, the stairs, no problem. Even having to go outside in that chilly weather. I had it down. Who knew, besides myself, that I would actually enjoy growing up, thus far. I met more and more people daily. Especially, this one lad who seemed to hang around quite a bit. Both my mommy and my mother were very familiar with him.
