Our month starts out with our sister Anastasia going to her Forever Home. Her Forever Mom and Dad drove through a snow storm to pick her up for they couldn’t wait to meet her. Anastasia’s new brothers Rocky and Nicholas came along to greet their new sister. Our beautiful little sister was a bit shy, but when she saw her new pink sweater she thought she was really cool…we won’t hear the end of that one! And then she even sent us an email with a picture of her and Rocky snuggling when she arrived home. The boy pupsters here were rather fond of Anastasia and felt a bit of jealousy when they saw the picture, but know that she is truly home now.

All of us pupsters took a vote and we definitely think Dad wins the Pupster Award of the Year. Through rain, sleet or snow our comfort comes first. We had this big snowstorm and the first thing he did in the morning was blow the snow out of our play area so that we would not have to struggle through the snow to do our duties. He also makes sure that we all get lots of treats, cuts our poise pads up for those that need to wear belly bands or prissy pants and the most important thing is that his lap is always available 24/7 for any of us who need lots of lovin’. He is very, very special and we feel so thankful to have him at our side.

Well, we don’t know how many of you are football fans, but we pupsters love the sport. All of the girls here are absolutely in love with Tom Brady…you know the quarterback for the Patriots. Of course he also played for the University of Michigan and definitely won some points on that one. So, yep, you have to know that they were hoping that their “Tommy” would lead his teammates to a victory in the Super Bowl. Now Mom on the other hand was insistent that the Giants would go all the way. She was drawn to Eli Manning, his teammates and the heart that they had for the game. Our Mom is always drawn to the underdogs, but you know, we need to listen to her for she was right once again. Heart plays a big part in life, and those that have heart reach goals that many feel are unattainable.

Mom and Dad we need to have a serious discussion. Ming has an obsession with my tail. No matter where I am he grabs my tail and pulls me around. Now Kia here is very tolerant of all that goes on around me, but this is getting out of control. We have a few options here…we could shorten my tail, maybe put something that smells really yukky on my tail to deter Ming or you both could put him in time outs for an extended period of time. All I know is that my patience is running out and you both know what that means!

Mom, we would really like to start our own business. We have been doing a lot of research on the internet and feel there is a big market for a digitally run pooper scooper. Kado has all of the designs drawn up and Barney here will do all of the grunt work. Don’t know how Kado talked me into that one, but he does have ways with barking. So we were wondering if we could use Dad’s work shop and also if you would be willing to run us to the store to pick up the material. This is going to be a huge success…we just know it. Can you see the advertisements now….The Super Duper Pooper Scooper by K&B Inc.

Champagne and Caviar reporting in. All is going well here in puppy heaven. We have gained weight, had our first puppy shots and we are feelin’ good! We are making every attempt to drive all of the other pupsters crazy. You know, pouncing on them when they are asleep, grabbing their tails every chance we get and generally making every effort to be a bit of a nuisance…in their eyes anyway. We have also discovered shoe laces and pant legs. There is just so much in life to investigate and enjoy!

Hey, we got hit in the butt (not the expression Dad uses, but we cannot repeat) with snow again today! But we are loving every minute of this. We are hoping that the snow blower will break down so we can continue to romp and play in all of this fluffy white stuff. Of course Mom really doesn’t appreciate all of our wet bodies and has towels lined up to dry us off as we come back inside. Hey, she doesn’t have anything else to do but wait on us and what good is it to have a washer and dryer if you don’t make use of them?
February 8, 2008
OK, Logan here is confused. Barry you are the same color as me, but your hair is all wild and wiry. And then your ears look really weird…why are they pointed and why is your tail so short? Now, I am not trying to be stuck up or anything for Mom and Dad teach us that we are all different, but you are one strange looking dude in my eyes. Mom says you are an Affenpinscher. Does this mean we all need to be careful in case we Affen to get pinched? TEE HEE...sorry Barry, I just couldn't help myself.
February 9, 2008
Well, what can I say other than life is just too good! Sienna here settling in and becoming totally comfortable…can you tell? I even have my own little pink T shirt to make sure that I stay toasty warm. I do love the other pupsters here and enjoy being cuddled by Mom and Dad, but we all need our own space now and again. I watched some good programs on Animal Planet(and no Auntie Jen I am not into Realty Shows), had my dinner, played a few computer games and now it is time to relax.
February 10, 2008
Mom, you need to tell Caviar that I am not a pony. Do you see a saddle or anything resembling riding apparel on Noela’s body? I do love him so, but he is becoming a bit of a nuisance. He follows me everywhere…I do not have a minute of my own time anymore to just relax and take my naps. I keep telling him, you are a Shih Tzu, I am a Pomeranian, there is a difference, but he doesn’t seem to understand.
February 11, 2008
What do you mean…why am I screaming? Probably because none of you are paying any attention to my dilemma. Quit laughing so hard. It wasn’t at all funny for you pupsters to tip the cubicle over while I was sleeping. You’d best right this situation immediately before Rory here really gets revved up vocally. When Mom arrives on the scene you won’t think it is so funny. I hope you enjoy your time outs!

Hey Dad, don’t you think it is about time to get rid of this Gated Pupster Community? Elizabeth, Max, Huey and Jenkins here are getting very irritated with looking through bars to find you. Come on Dad, turn around and look at our faces. We promise if you will just let us into the kitchen we will not get under your feet while you are cooking. If you do not answer our plea we will figure out our escape. We have an appointment with the pupster dentist to sharpen our teeth and we plan on chewing our way to freedom!

Mom, would you please talk to Calla? It is cold enough to freeze a pupster’s butt off. Willow here is trying to get out here, do my duties and head back to the warmth inside. Every time I make an attempt Calla either grabs my foot or my tail. Pretty sad when a pupster doesn’t even have the privacy to go to the bathroom around here. Guess I’ll talk to Dad about building a pupster restroom out here with a lock on it for privacy. That’ll fix Calla’s little wagon! In the meantime please come take care of your obnoxious child!

Hey, it’s Valentine’s Day and look what Dad brought home to Mom. MMMMM, MMMMM, MMMMM. First mistake Mom made was to go in to shower and leave this cake on the table. Actually Bobo here has no intention of touching the cake, anyway not until I can figure out exactly what kind of dog I am dealing with here. Looks like a new breed to me…maybe one of those crazy designer dogs everyone talks about. Hasn’t growled at me yet so I am trying to figure out which end I want to eat…oops I mean sniff first.
Oh, and before I forget...HAPPY VALENTINES DAY to everyone from all of us pupsters.

Oh come on Mom, do either of us look like we would be capable of tipping over the waste paper basket and strewing the contents all over the floor? You are looking at true faces of innocence. Can’t you see the halos over our heads? How many times have you said, “Chantelle and Saxon you are absolute angels and I love you dearly.” We would like to point out that you are contradicting yourself by having thoughts that we are anything but what you have said we are. So thus, our suggestion would be that you search elsewhere for the waste paper basket culprit.

Whew, sun has been very sparse lately so whenever a bit comes through the windows you can bet we are going to take advantage of it. Of course the spots are small as you can see with Bishop, Logan and Joslyn sharing the space. But, hey, whatever it takes we can do it. We love to be close to each other….can you tell? Mom and Dad have taught us well. Number one: Respect each other; Number two; Be kind to each other and Number three: Hold each other close for as long as you can.
February 17, 2008
Hey, so what’s up Doc?? Just kidding, saw that in some old cartoon movies that Mom and Dad watch although I do like carrots! Jake here introducing myself to all. Things are pretty interesting here so my question is really relevant. By the way I am very intellectual. Since I arrived I have been reading a lot, watching some really good programs on TV that are teaching me all kinds of things. My favorite is the food channel though…Dad watches it all of the time. Maybe I will be a famous chef someday. Mom just crosses her eyes and says “What’s a chef?”
February 18, 2008
Geez, Mom, do we really have to get up? Delcey and Rory here think you need to set that alarm for a few hours later. We were up late last night watching a really good movie…oops, you probably didn’t know that. Yep, we have been observing how the remote works and have it down to a science now. We have been trying to figure out the pupsterental control though for we have a feeling there may be some pretty interesting programs we are missing.
February 19, 2008
Well, what shall we do today? Decision, decisions. A game of scrabble would be great. Satin here is really good at word games. Or maybe a hot game of poker…well, that is probably out because Mom does not allow pupster gambling. Let’s see, cribbage would be good, but not many of us would be able to participate and someone would probably try to eat the pegs. WAIT, I know what we can do. We will unplug the computer and the phone then Mom will not have anything to do. She can then get down on the floor with all of us and we will have the greatest game of all called “Snugglin’ the Pupsters”.

You know, I often contemplate what we would do without each other. Every day is filled with love and we all care so much about each other. Promise here, resting comfortably with my step sister Dottie. You know Dottie is blind, but she is always here for us. She teaches us so much. We know that she faces darkness every single day, but her tail is always wagging and she tells us life was made to enjoy! She assures all of us that there is a special home just waiting for us, and what Dottie says always comes true!
February 21, 2008
So, you all think Saxon here is a bit pigeon toed…well, keep laughing your pupster butts off because I am in the perfect position to really get some action going here. I am perched on the table that is very, very close to all of the food action. I have been on surveillance for quite some time. Access to all food is to my right and I have figured out exactly how to breach Mom’s food security! Those that want to join me in my venture are welcome…just be prepared for major “time outs” if we get caught.
February 22, 2008
We would guess that all know that puppies were made in heaven and they have the most wonderful breath….did you know that? They are also the cuddliest little things. Just ask Noella here for I love little Champagne and enjoy snuggling close to her whenever the opportunity arises. Of course to have that privilege I sometimes have to tolerate a little ear pulling and tail pulling, but it is worth it!
February 28, 2008
We pupsters are so sorry we missed a few days, but it has been so bitterly cold here that Mom’s camera froze up! Well, we didn’t figure you would believe that. Actually Mom has been a bit under the weather so she hasn’t been able to “click” away like she normally does. We have just been spending a lot of time snuggling her close and she told us we were the best medicine ever! Must be, because she says she is feeling great and ready to roll once again!
February 29, 2008
Hey, I don’t know what all the fuss is about. Everyone is complaining about the snow and cold. I think God sent all of this white stuff just for Caviar here. I love to race around, stick my nose in the snow and see what treasures I can come up with. Today it was a leaf so I have been running and chasing my new toy for the past half hour. If you stay busy enough you don’t even notice it is cold outside. Guess I need to pass on my discovery to the older pupsters. See you in March!
