Thanksgiving Weekend 2010

Where have my updates been? Well you might ask...My mom has been so enamored with the new puppy, Trajan, that her camera has only had eyes for him....Mr. November indeed! Where was my calendar picture? But she celebrated our first snow of the winter season by taking pictures of me!!!

In Which I Get a Brother (?)

Trajan, Bobby and ME!

I'm not sure why my mom thought I needed one since Panzer and I get along now but he came home with her Saturday night.

Trust me to keep him in his place!



My boy John named him "Trajan" but his full name is Shamira-Zion's Silver Wolf Cub.

In Which I Celebrate Easter

We visited my mom's mom for Easter and in order to meet my boy John's girl friend, I got to go into the house for a few minutes...maybe by Thanksgiving I will be allowed to stay in for the entire visit!

It's Spring!!!

Finally, after the snow from a late winter storm has completely melted....




It's SPRING!!!

and I can see grass again!  Now that it's light when my mom gets home from work, she has been taking me for walks around the property - we've been watching the deer cut across the field.  Boy, do I want to follow them!!!!

In Which I Resume My Story

It's been a while since I posted...not that time has been standing still...and neither have I. 







I've been growing, and teething, and playing, and teething, and growing .... and teething some more.

 

Although both my ears have been up for awhile, my right one has been getting a little droopy lately...
probably because I'm...
teething.

Panzer and I have been taking turns visiting the vet; I've gotten my last two sets of shots and my rabies vaccine.

I've met all 3 vets now...they all knew great great great great grandpa Artus really well and two had tears in their eyes when Bobby and my mom took me in for my appointment(s).   

Just to fake my humans out, I've started sitting without command - giving them the illusion that they have taught me something! My mom was so pleased! Boy, do I have her well trained!
 
Don't I look angelic and meek and mild in these pictures? Don't believe it for a second!

In Which I Celebrate My First Christmas!

I honestly don't know what my human family did before I got here!  As was to be expected, I received the most presents - stuffed animals, pig ears - you name it.  In the spirit of Christmas, I did allow Panzer to keep his large bone (at least for now).  After we finished celebrating here, we all packed into the van and my mom drove me over to meet her mom for the first time.  She's not crazy about dogs and wouldn't let me in the house.  I charmed her anyway with my best behavior.

Trillium Artus Zum Soehrewald Nov. 21, 1997-December 14, 2009

I didn't update my story last weekend as my great great great great great great grandpa Artus was ill.  Now I know what my mom meant when she talked about the rainbow bridge.

Except for me, everyone has been really quiet.  My boy Bobby is growing a beard out of respect for Artus and my mom has been crying when she thought no one was looking. 

Panzer thinks he is supposed to be leader of the pack now....little does he know!
