Pudge Joins Our Family






Just before family camping north of Traverse City, we welcomed Pudge into our family. She came to live with us when she was just 5 weeks old, as her mother had weaned the litter (of 9!) early. She is a little sweetheart and was golden (no pun intended!) at the campground. It helped a lot that we got a good start at Aunt May and Uncle Barney's house. She was welcomed there just as we were. We love Aunt May and Uncle Barney - and Spike and Lady, too! Pudge has had two sets of shots and is not yet done with being poked. She rode very well all the way up north, but cried all the way to the Vet's office on Monday. She is still in the process of being house broken, but is doing well - most of the time. She has more than doubled in weight since her last visit to the Vet's before camping and weighed in at 12 pound and 3 ounces on Aug. 4. I can't wait to see how much bigger she is the next time, but I hope the doubling trend doesn't continue too long! (Michelle is holding Pudge and her sister, Punky, who went to live with them and is supposed to keep Moose happy. It's working - Moose thinks he's a mommy!)
