| This first picture is my "don't look at me that way" look. Usually
I haven't done anything wrong, but I guess I kind of have a reputation around here of getting
into trouble and doing things I shouldn't. Like climbing up on the kitchen table looking for something
to eat. If my people leave the chairs pulled out from under the table, hey, that's my invitation
to check things out for myself. Usually I don't get caught in the act, but I do have to work on
covering up my tracks a little better.

| This next one is a favorite of mine. When I want to get all snuggly and
cuddly with Mommy, I know just what to do to and how to do it. She is such a softy. All I have to do is
look at her with my big puppy eyes, jump up by her and keep her warm. She is cold all the time and she
loves to cuddle with me to warm up. (I also get extra treats when I play the loving puppy.) |
| This is one of my favorite past-times. My people have a pool and I love
running and jumping in after my most prized possession - my blue ball. My favorite toy is a blue racquetball.
Mommy and Daddy throw it into the pool and I go leaping into the water after it. It is so much fun. I could
keep it up for hours, and literally do until we have to go in the house. After a workout like that, I tell
you, I sure sleep good at night.

| That's me. Doing what I do best. Making a big splash. After I go flying
through the air like in the picture above, I do a very graceful belly-flop, as you can see. The bigger the
splash I make, the better, especially if Mommy or Daddy is floating around the pool in a raft. Then I try
for the biggest splash possible. Getting them wet is half the fun.

| Aren't we the perfect couple? Just like Lady and the Tramp. Cally, of course, is Lady. She loves being a house dog with a family. I guess she had a pretty rough time of it out on the street before we got her. Now me, I'm like the Tramp. I would love to run wild and free. I hate is when my people make me follow rules. I want to do what I want, when I want. But I guess a little loving and cuddling is all worth it in the end. Cally no longer lives with us anymore but I really liked her. She will always be in our memory.

| Aren't I a handsome-looking dude? Mommy and I are a volunteer team with the People-Animal Connection (PAC) Program at UCLA. Every other week, I get to go and visit the patients who are in the hospital and try to make them feel better. I get to go right up on the bed with them. It is so much fun to be petted and cuddled for an entire afternoon. I am currently assigned to the Pediatrics unit and it is so neat to see the smiles on the kids that we visit. Making them happy makes me happy.

| May 29, 2002 was Blizzy's first birthday. And we just had to celebrate it. Mommy bought us all birthday hats, which didn't really stay on too well, as you can see, and each of us got a birthday cupcake with a huge mound of frosting on it. Before we could get our cupcake though, we had to suffer through some pictures with these stupid hats on our head. I hated them. But, for the sake of food, I tolerated looking like a sissy for a little while.

| Here is Blizzy and I just hangin' out. As you can see, I have to keep a constant watch on my ball because Blizzy will take every opportunity he can get to take it away from me. Sometimes he even gets brave enough and tries to take it right out of my mouth. He can be such a brat at times. I guess I taught him quite well. And I am very proud of that. Now, when "things" happen around the house when Mommy and Daddy are gone, I don't always get the blame for them. (hee hee)
