New Years Day 2007

January 1, 2007. It is a new year, with my new family. In fact it is my first new year as I was born in about March last year. We got to sleep in today, but, now it is time that I join those two and make sure they are awake. Here I go, 1-2-3, JUMP! Trajectory looks good, perfectly lined up with the runway, ok, flaps down, gear down, tongue out, check! Ready for landing. Ker-plop! A perfect four point landing, exactly between Renee and Tom. Yippee, I made it. OK you two, prepare yourselves for face licks.

Now that I have the two of them awake, it is time for a trip outside. Off we go to the park to chase the ball around. I think I’m starting to figure out this game too. Tom or Renee throws the ball, and I get to bring it back to them. Well, maybe get it close to them. I’m getting lots of love and praise, I think I like this game. Let’s do it some more.

OK, time for a car ride. I jump into my usual spot and off we go. Tom and Renee get their breakfast and coffee, and I get to sit in the passenger seat while they are away. I’m guarding the truck and watching everyone walk past. I am king of all I survey. Look, here comes a big old German Sheppard walking past. Hey, wassup dog? Look at my ride! Don’t you wish you had a ride like this? Peace out bro!

Another long walk today. I am pooped out, both literally and figuratively. Time to snuggle down into my favourite spot, for some good old fashioned sack time. Goodnight all.
