My Gotcha Day!

My secretary is woefully late in posting about this most important date - shame on my assitant! (But I loves her lots and lots anyway and here's the tale...) On May 27, 2007, I was living at the Carlsons, who have a furry, furry cool place in a town north of here called Sebastopol. They live in the hills with lots of room to run around - perfect for me - recovering from a bad case of kidney disease at 9 months old. Norcal Golden Retriever Rescue had rescued me from the Humane Society, where my old (and I mean elderly) peeps had dropped me off, cause they could no longer care for me. When I met my furever new peeps, I dropped to the ground and let them rub my belly, which they did for a long time. Then the Carlsons and my new pawrents had a pretty darned long talk (c'mon guys!) and finally, I just jumped onto the back seat of the open door and lay down. I was ready for the party to start! I did love the Carlsons, but adventure beckoned and I was ready! I loved my new peeps and they sure loved me back. And so... we've been living near San Francisco ever since and through this blog, I share my fun (and not-so-fun) with you! And man, is there some new stuff happening around here. Stay tuned. And if you want to check out some past posts about the fun (and not-so-fun), you can go to these places:

We have also apparently (I tells ya, my mom is totally oblivious these days...) passed a milestone. This is our 204th post - let's party down! Oh - and some of you know I have a new sisfer, Avalon. You might have caught sight of her a couple of posts ago. She's okay. She's best this way:
