The Puppy Years

Shortly after I adopted my human couple they underwent a ritual known among their breed as "marriage". After and as part of this "marriage" they disappeared for about a week. This was the first time they had been alone without me and I was concerned about how they might react to our first prolonged separation. But when we were finally reunited I was relieved to find that they had not been too traumatized. I didn't stay with Aunt Tasha during that particular time, but did spend considerable time with her on subsequent occasions when I felt it was alright for my humans to be on their own again for a time.

The picture of me on the couch at lower right was taken in our new home in Hawthorne, following an exhausting cruise to Catalina and Mexico. Aunt Tasha's humans had brought some Minnesota relatives out for the trip.
