Spring is in the air!

Kyle here...I know it's been a long while since I've posted anything, so please accept my apologies for depriving you of all of the silly details of my new life. When one is depressed or distraught, one tends to journal more often. This is really unfair to the readers because they tend to be neglected in good times. For this, I am sorry.

To be honest, I've been having so much fun in my new life I can hardly believe that less than a year ago, I was sitting in a shelter wondering if anyone would ever love me. Just like Precious (from the movie of the same name) I was not too keen on the idea that anyone would ever really love me. But, just as Precious found people who cared for her and loved her, so did I. So, all my bothers and sisters in shelters and rescues; please have faith that there are good people out there who can help you find a way out (like Cathy Stanley at www.campcocker.com).

Here's an update on my incredible new life:

First, my coat is curly, shiny and healthy. My skin problems are almost 100% cleared up and I am a big, soft, furry brown mop. Everyone goes crazy over my wavy fur, especially my ears. I think I might have mentioned this before, but my ears are just gorgeous!

I'm feeling great and living the good life. My people are awesome, as is my brother Remsen. And, guess what? I finally got to meet my sister, Katrina. She is a cat. She has her own room and it has a gate in front of the door. I guess to keep the riff raff out. Anyhow, I used to try to talk to her all the time, putting my head under the gate and barking whenever my people went in to feed and love her. Finally, my mommy brought me in there with her and I got to sniff all over. I've been in there many times now and even though the cat growls at me, I think she is starting to like me. I still get a little excited when I see her. Sometimes I poke my nose in her bathroom and the litter gets all over it (super gross!). But, I don't chase her and I would never attempt to hurt her because, for one, she's really cute and two, I know she'd kick my furry little butt if I tried. I'm hoping that someday she'll join us in the main part of the house.

My people now say that every day I get a little bit more lovable and my fear and anger seem to be going away. I love my new life and the cast of characters I call my family now.

xxoo to everyone who helped me along the way!
