Time flies

I was still tiny the last time I posted here.  Sorry I've been away so long but my life has been very full of changes.  I am now 3 years old, still a beautiful double dapple chocolate mini with the same beautiful blue eyes.  I weigh about 11 pounds and stand a whole 7 inches tall (if I stand very straight).  I still love my Mom and the other 2 legger who lives with us.  She's the most fun 2 legger in the whole world.  She has no rules, believes absolutely in treats for no reason, can't go out of the house without bringing us back a new toy or new treat and will play chase till even we are tired.  The we I refer to still includes Pooh the Diva, my best friend Ranger moved to a new house with his dad (I call him plaid pants boy) but comes to visit once in a while and I go out to see him too.  But we have a new barker in our house.  His name is Ferguson but comes to the name Gussie.  He's a red long-haired miniature daschund with green eyes.  He's not quite 6 months old.  I love to play tug of war and chase with him but have to correct him when he does dumb stuff like try and sit in MY mom's lap or take MY food out of MY food bowl.  And of course, some of the toys belong to ME only and if he wants to play with MY toys he has to ask me very nicely or there will be lots of noise, some teeth displayed and a few moments of go away kid and stop bothering me.  I do have high hopes for little Gussie if he can just get my rules straight in his brain.  And if he would just get busy and grow out his beautiful coat.  Right now he has lots of crazy red hair growing on his ears and not too much anywhere else.  My mom says he looks like something called a Fraggle.
