Tigger

Hello,   I don't know if you remember me. I was very small when I left. My name is Tigger. You gave me the name and my new family kept it. I was 9 weeks old when I was adopted December 1 2006 and boy how I have grown. My new family has a big yard for me to run with an invisable fence for my protection. It took me along time to learn how to sleep at night by myself but after about a month I learned that my kennel was not a punishment but my own bedroom. Now when it is bedtime I go in and no one locks the door anymore. I have grown a lot and now weigh in at a health 40lbs. Mommy says I need to stop growing because I clear off the table with my tail. I was potty trained in three weeks, by New Years there were no  more accidents. My big sister is Leah, she is a 5 year old human who I was adopted for. We play very well together and I am learning not to bite when I play. My mommy says I can't jump on Leah cause I knock her over so I try to stay down when she comes home from school, but I just get so excited. Mommy is home most of the time with me. I am only alone for no more than 4 hours aday and that is only twice a week. I have a huge to toybox with lots of balls and chew toys. I have a dog friend named Jake who lives 2 houses up the road. We play some times together or we sit in our own yards and talk back and forth.
 I just want you to know that I am a happy boy who is becoming well trained to my house of humans.I have them trained to open doors for me and to feed and water me, someone to scratch my belly and clip my nails, but the best part is someone will always throw the ball for me.

Sincerely Tigger (April 16, 2007)
