My old bed
The baby gets to sleep in bed with Daddy. I used to sleep in bed with Daddy. But now I get to sleep downstairs with Mommy.

Afternoons with Daddy
I like it when the baby goes away for the day. Daddy comes down to my office and we work together.

Snow ...
This week it snowed! Can you believe it? But I took my Daddy to Hampshire College anyway. I like going out with my Daddy because I get him all to myself. I don't have to share him with my little baby sister.

Hard at work
This is my bike trail. It is one me my favorite places to take Daddy on a walk. There is always a lot of work to do there.

My one walk
Today I took Daddy for a walk to Hampshire College. I used to get 3 walks a day but now sometimes I only get 1. I think it's because of that baby. I can't wait until it goes to college.

Out with the baby
My baby sister willow looks like an astronaut in her pink coat. She is so silly she has socks on her hands!

Winter
It's winter in New England again, which means I have to year my pink sweater everywhere. Mommy says it looks cute. Last I checked wolves were fearsome, not cute.

My Birthday!
Hi. Today is my sixth birthday. Actually, I was born in November 1992, but we celebrate my birthday on the day that we became a family - May 12, 2001. That was the day I met Mommy and I knew we belonged together. (Daddy didn't arrive until two days later.) Today I went for two long walks. This morning we went to Hampshire College and walked all over. At the end I got a little tired so Daddy carried me back to the car. Then this evening we went to the bike trail and walked for a long time. It was a great day.
I've been very busy. Last June I drove back home from California to Massachusetts with Daddy and Daddy's Daddy. Here I am at Arches National Park in Utah. It was very hot.
Then in September I got a baby sister! Her name is Willow. She gets to sleep in bed every night. Sometimes she cries in the middle of the night and wakes me up. Here we are together.
That's Grandpa. He moved to Amherst to play with me.
This winter was cold, so I got a new pink sweater.
I have to go to sleep now so I can go for a long walk tomorrow morning. Bye!

My week with Daddy
This week, Mommy had to go to Washington, DC for a conference and to see all her nephews and nieces. But I got to spend the whole week with Daddy! He stayed home every day (except part of Tuesday), and I got to go with him everywhere in the car.
This picture is from Aquatic Park in Berkeley. I had never been to this park before! There were some ducks in the water. I like duck. Wait, I haven't had duck in a long time!
Also, Daddy fed me lots of good food. I've been eating chicken breast, potatoes, and egg whites all week, and only a little kibble. Finally Daddy figured out what to feed me.
I've been taking Daddy for lots of walks. On Thursday evening we went walking for more than an hour! I haven't walked that long since I got sick at the beginning of March.
All those walks make me tired sometimes.

My friend Dan
I'd like you to meet my friend Dan. I take him on a walk every day. Here he is feeding me chicken! I really like Dan. I get up and wait for him by the door when it's time for him to come. He makes my lunch just right, with lots of chicken in it.

My work
Sometimes there is a lot of work to do around the house. Here I am making sure the mat in the kitchen is just right.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Hi everyone! It's been a long time since I've updated my blog because I've been really busy here in California. First I had to take control of my new territory. Every day I patrol the hills around my house, or Solano Avenue, or both!
It's a lot of work, but Mommy and Daddy can use the exercise. On most days, I walk for more than two hours!
I've also taken Mommy and Daddy on some great trips. We've been to the Berkeley Marina a few times.
We went up to the Marin Headlands.
And we went to the beach at the Presidio.
On Thanksgiving, I wanted to share all the things that I'm thankful for. First I'm thankful for Mommy and Daddy for going on walks with me. Then I'm thankful for chicken, and ground turkey, and my chews, and steak ... wait, I haven't gotten steak in a long time! Well, I would be thankful for steak if I got anyway. And canteloupe - I only think I've gotten canteloupe once in California. Make note: must ask for more canteloupe. Anyway, where was I? I'm thankful for my friend Dan who goes for a walk with me every day, and all the beds I have to sleep on, and going for rides in the car, and lots of other things. I'm even thankful for squirrels, even though I have to chase them.
Well, it's time for me to go to bed so I can wake up Mommy and Daddy at 6 AM. Good night!

My new home
Wow, do I have a lot to tell you about! I've been so busy since arriving in California that I haven't had time to post to my blog.
On Friday last week we drove all the way across the state of Nevada. It was boring and it was hot outside, but it was really nice to sit in Mommy's (or Daddy's) lap. I love having my whole pack with me.
After a long day of driving we finally made it out of the desert and into California. I was really happy to see the evergreen forests on the mountains. I insisted on taking Daddy for a walk right away!
The next day we went for a nice long walk at the University of California at Davis. I hadn't had a good walk in days! I barked at the geese and walked around the big trees in the arboretum. Afterward we went downtown and I protected Mommy and Daddy while they had coffee at a cafe. They made a big fuss about finding a cafe. They're kind of funny sometimes.
Then we made the final leg of our journey. It was flat for a while, but then we climbed the final hills and we could see the fog over the bay, just like old times. When we came down the hill into Berkeley it was foggy and it was cold! We drove straight to Jimmy Bean's, which is our favorite place to eat breakfast.
Then we finally drove up to my new house. It's a nice house. There used to be other dogs here, but now it's all mine. My yard has lots of plants in it, including two apple trees! The apples fall every day for me to eat, but sometimes Daddy tries to take them away from me. Sometimes Daddy isn't very nice.
I've been taking Mommy and Daddy on lots of walks. This morning we went to Jimmy Bean's again, and then we walked along the bay. I think I like it here.

In the mountains with my cousins
The last two days we have been covering territory where my cousins, the gray wolves, have been repatriated. Yesterday we drove from Denver through Wyoming, the land where my aunt Katrina grew up. I saw three antelope but Mommy and Daddy wouldn't let me chase them. There was lots of open space that I wanted to run in, and huge mountains in the distance.
In the morning I visited Colorado State University and the University of Wyoming. I think the students were surprised to see a gray wolf down from the mountains. In the afternoon I climbed over the barrier so I could sit up front with Mommy and Daddy. I think they needed to be with me.
Denver was my favorite city so far. It was nice and breezy. More importantly, I got cantaloupe for breakfast!
This morning I slept longer because Grandpa sent me a message saying I didn't have to get up every four hours to patrol. Then we went and looked at the Great Salt Lake. I didn't like it because there were too many little flies. We just drove through the Great Salt Lake Desert, which was totally bizarre. The ground was all white! Now we are climbing the mountains in Eastern Nevada.
I'm going to take a nap now.

We're still in Kansas
You know that book, What's the Matter with Kansas? The real problem is that it goes on and on and on. It's hillier than I thought, but you can see for miles and miles because there are no trees. Just cows.
Daddy is letting me use his Pocket PC so I can post to my blog while we're on the road. Isn't that cool? It's a little more challenging using this little keyboard with my paws.
The most difficult job I have is keeping Mommy and Dad safe, especially when they split up. Sometimes one of them will go into a building and the other will try to go for a walk, so I have to keep heading back to the place where the first one went inside so I can keep track of everyone.
The other problem is that we are staying in hotels that have evil inside. Our rooms are nice, but often there is invisible evil in the hallways or in other rooms. I have to warn Mommy and Daddy about the evil. And I have to get up every four hours to patrol.
Since my last post we drove through Pennsylvania, West Virginia (again), Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri. The first part was in the Alleghenies, but then it flattened out in Ohio. We stayed near Cincinnati in a newly manufactured town. The hotel we stayed in had adopted a cat which, surprisingly, was not evil. This made me happy.
On Monday we drove through cornfields in Indiana and Illinois. There were scary billboards about guns saving lives. What they really need is more wolves. On Monday afternoon I visited my fan Lanie (she sent me a picture for my blog last year). She jumped through a hole in a screen door and bounded toward me to say hello. She got a little too familiar so I had to tell her to back off. Then I took Mommy, Daddy, John Randolph, and John's little baby Lula for a walk. There are lots of little dogs in Champaign, so I had a lot of work to do. Then while the people went inside I marked Lanie's yard so she would remember me. Afterward we went to the University of Illinois so I could mark the orange flowers and the vet and animal science building. That's a very important building.
Mommy and Daddy visited their friend Adam Davis and his daughter Hannah while I guarded the car. Once Hannah came out and I said hi. I think she was a little scared because she had never seen such a large wolf.
In Champaign I acquired a new park, Hessel Park. There was a bunny there but I chased it across the street and off my land. Now all the bunnies know better than to trespass on my territory. The next morning I went back to reinforce the perimeter of my new park. Then I guarded the car while Mommy and Daddy visited their friends Jules and Zach and their baby Luke, who is only 1 week old - a bite-sized morsel. Kidding! I could see there were two dogs inside so I had to bark at them a little to warn them away from my people.
Champaign was a lot of work, so I slept most of the way to Kansas.
My paws are tired now, so I'm going to take a nap until Colorado.

Travels with Mom and Dad
I'm writing this on the road on day three of our pack adventure, in "wild and wonderful" West Virginia. I'm thinking of making that my motto. We're in the Allegheny mountains!
Friday started off like a normal day. We went to Hampshire college for our usual pack outing, and I patrolled my usual route. Then we all got in the car again and I got in my little cave in the back seat and we drove to the hospital where I went when I was sick. We took a picture of the plaque that Mom and Dad donated to commemorate my victory over my illness. I did a lot of barking so everyone would know how strong I am again.
Then we drove to Grandma and Grandpa Kwak's. Grandma made me chicken just for me but I shared some with Mommy and Daddy. Grandma even gave me some chicken for the road because she was happy to see how strong I am. However, I didn't get any blueberry cobbler for dessert.
After lunch we got back in the car and drove to my other grandparents' house. It was very hot so we didn't stop much, but I did mark New Jersey and Pennsylvania. In the car I thought about my old territory in Massachusetts. I'm a little worried, but I think it will be OK because I taught my friend Sophie to take care of it while I'm away. She even scared away a couple bears before I left.
I was so happy to see Grandpa, my most favorite buddy. He made me my own fenced-in yard to run in. Grandpa took me for three walks and I kept him company while Mommy and Daddy went to DC to see my little cousins and my friend Rhiannon. Why doesn't Rhiannon come to see me more?
I had a great time with Grandpa. I hope he comes to see me in California.
This morning I went back to my new park that I claimed yesterday. I was a little worried that Mommy and Daddy would forget to take me, so I followed them to the door and barked every time they took a bag out. On the way out we saw monarch butterfly caterpillars!
We're back in Maryland now. That's enough for now, so I'm going to take a little nap.

My chair
This is the last picture of me before I got sick. My friend Jennifer brought me this chair.
