Since mom and dad have brought home "the baby," I have noticed a few things in my four months of observation:

1. Mom and dad will not be returning it.
2. It eats a lot, much more than us. Mom feeds it at least every two hours.
3. Mom prefers to feed it in it's room.
4. It seems to grow at an alarming rate. Since it came, it has already doubled in size.

With these observations, I hope to befriend it. Then I will train it to feed me extra food. To ensure nothing happens to it, I guard the stairs to make sure he stays safe. Until next time!

Superbowl

Mom and dad strapped us in the back of the car today after they came home from church. We ended up going over to grandma and grandpa's house to watch the superbowl. While there, we saw our old cat, Pete. He went over with us before Christmas while mom and dad went out of town, but when they brought us back, they never brought him back. I guess grandma decided to keep him at her house. It was nice to see him, but we don't need any other distractions at the house. With "the baby," we are already fighting for the attention we get. They keep talking about going to see grandma and grandpa in Chicago, so I have a feeling we'll be back soon while they are out of town. At least they don't leave us at the kennel like they used to in Arizona. One of the kennels was not exactly the nicest of places.

Until then...

p.s. check out Kanooka with his mouth open.

Dad got a new camera, a Canon Rebel T1i with a 50mm f/1.8, so everything has been his subject, even us. Here are a few new pictures.

To Grandmother's House We Go

Mom and dad woke us up early today. Dad was running around the house getting things together. He tore down our crate and took our beds from us. He then put everything in the car. He packed the baby, IN OUR SEATS, and stuck us in the back of the car, like luggage, and used our leashes to keep us back there. They drive a Subaru Forester and the back is bigger, but the back seat is OURS. We had to stay back there for 3 hours. When we got there, we were left in the car until the baby was brought in the house. When we were allowed to come out, we realized that we were at great-grandma and pop pop's. We are now lounging around the house, using internet access from one of their neighbors house. We like when people leave their internet open for others. We leave tomorrow afternoon. I hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend.

p.s. While at great-grandma's, Ronin was investigating her cat, Sugarplum. She did not like Ronin going near her, so she attacked him and bit his ear. He is doing okay, but is a little freaked out.

Pictures

Since "the baby" has arrived, it has been very difficult to get mom and dad to take pictures of me. They used to take pictures of me all of the time. Now, I have to resort to sneaking into the pictures they are taking of "the baby." They only time they took pictures of us specifically was when we were outside playing in the snow. I'll show you a few examples of what I am talking about, and then end with a picture of me in the snow.

P.S. Our birthday was on Tuesday and we are officially 4 years old now. For our birthday, dad played in the snow with us.

After Christmas

Mom and dad left us in New York over Christmas while they went to spend time with the family in Illinois. We stayed at grandma and grandpa's house, and so did Pete (the cat). It seemed like they were gone for so long. After about a weeks time, they eventually came home. They told us that they got to play with our mom, dad, brother, and sister. We hope we can go with them on the next trip. We can tell they love us more than Pete because he is still at grandma and grandpa's. We are wondering if Pete will come back. It has been a week and a half since we have been brought back home. I guess we'll see about that.

Until then, enjoy these pictures of our dad, brother, and mom.

Too Long!

Well, it has been way too long since we have last updated this blog. We can't even begin to tell you all of the changes that have taken place since our last post. We were hopping to give all the details, but I'll save you the long post and give you the short list.










1. Mom and dad moved us from Kingman, AZ to Rochester, NY. We spent two straight days driving before taking a break in Mt. Vernon, OH at Uncle Dillon's apartment. We then had one more short day of driving from there.









2. We moved in with Mom's parents for a time of three months before mom and dad bought a house. We now have a third of an acre to run around in that is covered with grass. We missed grass.






3. Mom and dad left in the middle of the night one night and we didn't see them for about 4 days. Luckily our Uncle Josh came to let us out and feed us the day after they left before grandma and grandpa came to take us to their house for 3 of the days. When we finally made it back home, mom and dad were back at the house and they brought back this little person with them. They call it "the baby." Every time we are nice to "the baby" and give him kisses, dad makes a big deal about it and give us extra attention.




That brings us to current day. Dad thought it would be "fun" to take holiday pictures of us. He made us wear these silly elf hats with elf ears sticking out of them. Then he took our picture in front of the tree. It was embarrassing, but we each were given one of the good treats for putting up with it.

Hopefully we will find more time to update our blog on a regular basis.

Until next time.
