Sweet, loving, gentle, and kind are the words used by everyone who meets me. Everybody who meets me talks about how special I am!

On September 11, 2003, on behalf of GRREAT, my new Mom came to the animal shelter to rescue me. Mom and Dad fostered me for awhile and then adopted me. I couldn't be happier!

This is me looking up at my new Mom!

Here I am on my very first night with my new brother and sister!

Here's another picture of me on my first night. As you can see, I feel really comfortable already!

After playing outside for awhile, Reno and I like to take short naps on the couch together.

I'm ready to play some more and I wish Dad would throw the ball for me instead of taking so many pictures!

Reno and I decided to take a break from playing. Did you notice that I'm the one who has the stick AND the ball?!!

I'm waiting for Reno and Keona so we can go inside and eat dinner!

I'm always ready to pose for a picture!

Here's a picture of me with a new woobie! It's so pretty, I hate to chew on it!

Oh well, I couldn't resist!

Here I am looking through the deck at Dad taking a picture of me!

If you compare this picture to the ones taken on my first night with my new family, you can see how much happier and healthier I look now. All I needed was a good diet and lots of love.

Here's a picture of me with all the new toys I got today! Mom and Dad took me to PetSmart to celebrate, because today is the 1 year anniversary of when Mom rescued me from the shelter (although Mom says I have to share my stuff with Reno and Keona).

Here I am looking very much like a doggy model!

This is my favorite ball because it squeaks really loud. Every day when Dad gets home from work, he takes us out back to play "squeaky ball" and I love it!

Sometimes I get distracted from my pink ball, but not very often!

It's a beautiful day and I'm enjoying posing for more pictures!
