I’m In Trouble
How was I to know it’s been almost a week since my last post? I’ve been enjoying the dog days of summer and totally forgot to post the news. It’s not like we haven’t been doing anything. Maybe we’ve been…
Look What I Got
Remember my two brothers Arrow and Abel? They sent me this way cool stuffie. It came in the mail yesterday but mom didn’t let me have it until this morning. Usually when I get a new toy I rip into…

What Now?
I like to remember Codie in her fur coat. She had thick curly hair and bright amber eyes. Mom used to call her Princess Amber Eyes. There are so many stories about Codie. That’s what happens when you are chosen…
