Happy New Years Everyone!! Let me update you on my life so far. I'm about a year and three quarters and in April I turn two!(Above is a picture of me when I was only 8 weeks old!) I was born in a shelter in Woodland California with my six other siblings.The people there took care of me until my mommy adopted me. (My real mommy and siblings all found homes too. If you're looking for a pet, go to a shelter!!) I live in San Francisco and it is really nice. I have a big backyard and I used to love hiding between the agapathus bushes but i'm too big to hide now. But I love zooming around. When people see me they used to say, "Oh how cute!!" Now that i'm a big dog I hear, "What a pretty dog!" I'm loving it! I get lots of attention. I have lots of cousins that live here in the San Francisco Bay Area and cousins that live in Calaveras county. My oldest cousin Traci wrote and plays the keyboard in my profile song! Some people think it's a sad song but I think it's GREAT! One of my other cousins calls me "Benny" Kyle's kind of goofy. But I really look up to my big cousin Filly, she's a therapy dog. Mom wanted me to be one but I have yet to choose a career path! I used to go to work with my mom, but now she's has a new job that doesn't allow dogs. But I only spend a few hours by myself at home. I watch out for people and let them know there's a big mean scary dog on the other side of the door (I'm really good at it) When mom comes home it's all about me! Sometimes we go to Washington's football field to play on. It's the biggest grassiest field I've ever seen! and it's ALL MINE! But when school's in session I have to go elsewhere but it's so fun to run and run as fast as I can! Then I come home and take a short nap and then it's play some more... I love the weekends they are the best! I love playing with my cousins and looking out the windows when we drive.So far I've been to Fort Funston and played in the surf. Murphy's Creek in Murphy CA where people constantly try to drown me. I went on a road trip to Spokane Washington and stopped in Oregon to hike and wander various parks. Went to Tahoe and smelled pine trees and aspens. I've been hiking in the national forest(s). Went rock hounding but I really thought it was about another breed of dog. I've also wandered the streets listening to the sounds of various bands playing at the annual Nihonmachi Streetfair in San Francisco. Oh!! I played in SNOW!!!! It's so much fun snow!!! I love snow, I can't wait to play in it again!!
