Good grief! Am I really six years old?

I really don't feel a day over four. Thank God Tom and Marianne have Pat Gentry come by once a month to cut my hair and keep me looking like a puppy. That puppy look is what lets me get away with murder… most of the time.

We've had a pretty big year again. We watched a lot of Warrior games – they set some great records but missed the title crown. We've had a fair amount of travel… most of it was to Palm Springs or Pajaro Dunes.

I even got my DNA tested this year. It's on the facing page, if you're interested. I mostly am a Russell Terrier with a tiny bit of Parson Russell Terrier thrown in. Most people don't believe that when they see me – probably because of my haircut. The same dopes think I'm a girl dog because I'm so timid. Timid is good – that's why I've never been hurt and I'm fine with that.

Well, this book will show you lots of other things. Tom and Marianne both like black and white photos, they make me dress up in some pretty silly costumes, and they distort a lot of my photos and call them Art. You will see that what I like most is hanging out with my family and taking naps… The next best thing is celebrating holidays – ALL OF THEM.

I hope you enjoy the book. See you again next year – same time and place.
