I’m NOT vain! Just curious! (Really!)

October 19th, 2009

avatarHello Sherpa!  And hello friends of Sherpa!

Virginia is still treating me well.  Fall down here is crisp and invigorating.  I enjoy going outside and experiencing the fall foliage firsthand, creeping through the leaves in Grandma Joanie’s backyard. Occasionally, I will find a mouse or mole to taunt in the garage. That’s fun.
Here are two pictures of me.  It seems that every time I come in contact with a mirror, I can’t help but look at my reflection.  That doesn’t exactly make me vain – just curious.  Who is the kitty in the mirror? It’s ME!
Hobbies still include watching my morning talk shows (I’ve added “The View” to my lineup) and taunting my black lab dog cousin Blackjack. Recently, however, I branched out, and have enjoyed watching live orchestra performances on PBS via my granddaddy’s flat screen TV.  Both the music and the conductor intrigue me.  My composer of choice is Beethoven.  Happy Holidays everyone!
Love, Honey

It’s only October and I’m already sucking up for Xmas presents!

avatarHow ya doing, How ya doing, How ya doing???? My name’s Casey and to tell you the truth, I am so busy looking for my tennis balls today I hardly have time to write, but mom (France) says it is a must and I have to improve my technical ability, and just when I thought tennis ball hunting WAS technical, after all those bushes, trees and brush I have to navigate…..

CHRISTMAS!! Its almost here, its almost here, its almost here, I do get so excited about Xmas, and just to show you, mom tied last years ribbons around me, I know I look silly, but the nicer I am, the bigger the bones that Santa leaves, so tie me up mom!! I will take all the laughs, ’cause, balls and bones, thats my business!! OK, thats enough, I have to RUN!! There is a rabbit in the backyard and I just know she wants my tennis balls, she has been stalking them for days…. XXXXXXXXX Casey

Chloe B. shows off her inverted “P”

avatarHi Sherp,
I have been in such a good mood lately! As you may or may not know, I walk in Central Park every morning, and now that the weather has changed, I’m a very happy pup.

I love crisp cool weather! I love wind! I love diving through piles of leaves, and messing them up!
You may have noticed the unusual way in which I pee. I’m much admired by the other dogs in the park, not to mention tourists and other passers by.
You should join me in the park one day. I have so many friends there. You’d love it.

Chloe F. makes it in New York—by a nose!

October 13th, 2009

avatarHi Sherpa,

As I face the ongoing challenge of being a small dog in a big world, I continue to find each day a lovely surprise.

Though I started my New York life at the foot of Steve’s bed, I have gradually inched myself up over the last several months so that last night Steve and I actually slept nose to nose. Mine was wet – his wasn’t.

Much love to you.

Tucker adds HER two cents!

October 10th, 2009

avatarHi, Sherpa!
Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Tucker but my mommy, Diana, sometimes calls me, “Tuck-Tuck.”
I dunno why; maybe because Tucker sounds kinda masculine and I’m a girl!

avatarLove, love, love the site — thank you Uncle Will. You have inspired me and now I have my own email, finnbarrdylan@yahoo.com. It was somewhat bothersome to discover that “Finn the Dog” was already taken. Have you met him? Never mind — I like that I can now manage my own correspondence. Lots of aunts and uncles are coming to town this week. When they arrive, the Cat-brothers are put in lockdown until meals are done. Hurrah. Best to your Mom and Dad!
