My First Post...

Thanks mom and dad for writing about me....I'll take over from here... This is my diary and I want to start contributing too.

I don't remember much of the first 8-10 weeks of my life. I prob'ly slept a lot, suckled from my mamma and played with my brothers and sisters. What I do remember starts here:

I was to be auctioned off at some puppy-mill stuff.. That was where I met Lynne and Dallas and other cool people. They did not want me to go to the puppy-mill place and instead wanted me to stay with them. It was a fun place. Dallas and I had the place pretty much to ourselves all day long. Dallas was a little pussy.. I had to push and prod him to move about sniff stuff, you know- like we dogs normally do. I heard he's doing well now with his happy forever family. Good for that little guy.. Will miss him..He was my first bud...Enough nostalgia for a 5-month pup, you think?

Anyway....Lynne kept asking us to stand still for a camera.. She kept talking about the internet (I've finally figured it out...it's what my parents keep poring into and reading and looking dopey-eyed at the end of it all) and uploading my photograph there... Anyway, I posed - I love posing, by the way... and we even did a little movie co-starring me & Dallas.

Lynne then told me about my third mommy (that's the end of the tally, what say folks?) and Crazy-Joe (Anurag) who wanted to have me come over to Chicago, by the lake. I said "OK, if you insist" and drove along to the big city.

I now live high up with a nice lake-view. I love watching airplanes go by the window and love staring into the blue waters of the lake (deep, huh?) and running around in the park. CJ takes me on the wick-end (is that how it's pronounced?) to the park. It's great to stretch my legs and give those birds a li'l scare.

I just love changing channels and pausing the TV stuff (It drives CJ crazier). I am getting good at using the internet and running slideshows of photos on the computer and have been getting a hang of the I-Pod touch too. I read the newspaper bit by bit and rip to shreds (literally) articles written by most journies.

CJ and mommy are suckers. They fall for my "batting the eyelashes- scratch at the door- ain't I cute" routine and keep giving tonnes of treats- neat! I have a few friends around the neighborhood. Tucker's the best dude though. He kicks ass and we love romping all around the area like shameless lovers. I also attend puppy classes. They are great because I get tonnes of more freebie treats and feel like a bloated laado (mom calls me that- CJ thinks it means small laddoo - an Indian sweetmeat) at the end of it all.

It's getting rather bare and bleak out here. Not too many leaves on trees- the grass in my former romping ground's a-gone too. But, I get plenty of warmth from mommy and CJ and feel happy at home.

This should do for a first post....Will write on critical issues soon.

So long, people! Keep praying, keep the faith and stay positive. A few weirdos shouldn't make the rest of our lives miserable.
