My new sister....

I am so sorry I haven't written on my blog for so long. I didn't realize it had been soooo long. :( Since I last wrote there have been some pretty big changes in my life.

I went on a road trip down to California with my Mommy, Daddy, sister, and Mama Chica. We went back to Pinecrest Lake and spent about two weeks there. It was great. I got to swim and lay in the sun. I loved it! At least until we were on our way back home and I got a bladder infection. Mommy says it's because of the medicine I have to take for the swelling in my brain (Prednisone). I really wish I didn't have to take that stuff anymore. It makes me cranky and I get all kinds of infections from it. :(

Mommy started back to school at the end of August, but Daddy gets to stay home and take care of me every day. He has an owie in his neck so he can't go to work everyday. I feel bad for him and give him lots of snuggles to make him feel better. Daddy and I take care of the house (when he feels okay) and run errands for Mommy. I love staying home with my Daddy every day. :)

A few days before Christmas, Mommy and Daddy adopted another sister for me. Her name is Isabella. She is pretty cool cuz she is a Chi like me and is about my size. She knows to give me space when I am cranky and snuggles with me when I am not. I am still getting used to her, but I think that she can stay. Besides, she and I share the same birthday. Nobody knows for sure how old she is, but the vet thinks she might be about as old as me, so Mommy and Daddy gave her the same birthday as me. I love watching Isabella and Moxie when they wrestle and play in the house. They are crazy!

I also have a new cousin. His name is Osito and he lives in Friday Harbor with my auntie, uncle and Mama Chica. We think he is a Chi-Weenie (a chihuahua/dachshund mix, but are not sure). He is still a puppy so he hasn't learned to give me my space. I'm sure it won't take him very long, though. Especially when he tries to steal my nummies and I have to bite him on the nose.

I haven't been working as hard as I should on my walking and exercising, but my New Year's resolution is to do better and get stronger. (I have to help Daddy remember to work with me every day, more than once a day.)

I will do my best not to let so much time go by before I post to my blog again. Love to everyone!!!
