~MY NEWS~
20th July 2002

Today they brought me to my new home.
At my old home there were also three Whippets, an Afghan Hound
and a German Shepherd.
My new home is nice and warm and my new family love me very much. They always give me lovely presents such as bones or rubber balls. 
In the evening another dog came to our house, but my human parents didn't let me see it. They said it's a very friendly Poodle girl called Iris and we'll get to be friends when I go to the vet for the first time.
I was the youngest in there. You see, I'm only two months old!

Today they drove me to the vet for the first time. I didn't know what a vet is until I realised that it must be that smiling woman who talked to me in a very friendly way. I was a little scared by all those cars running in the streets. The friendly woman placed me on a flat thing and then she said I weigh 2.9 kg. Then she talked with my mum for some time. I think they were talking about me. That was not very pleasant. I began to get bored and I was about to go away, but I thought I'd be patient and I'd wait. When mum said it was time to go, I started grumbling about all this vet thingy, but suddenly... I saw him! A lovely Dalmatian puppy looking at me! It was only then that I decided to behave and show him my good manners. I hope I'll meet him some time again...

I visited the vet again! Boy, I really like this place. There's that lovely woman who pets me and kisses me all the time and there are other dogs, some of which are quite good. I met a Bishon Frise ,a Shar Pei, and a Poodle.

Yay! I'm free at last! I heard the vet say I can go for walks. I'm really happy about that, but what is "to go for a walk" anyway? I'll find that out soon!
Today I met some really nasty dogs. A Rottweiler and a Doberman. They were really big, and I think they were trying to scare me. To scare ME, the bravest whippet puppy! I barked at them a lot (I think my human family were very surprised- I rarely bark) and they barked back. Unfortunately, my human sister didn't let me sniff them. I got very annoyed with them.

Did you know I'm 3 months old already? I've been going for walks many times, I really love it! I've made some human friends, Angeliki, Jenny, Anna and Teresa are the kids I play with when I go out.
Well... remember Iris, my Poodle neighbour? Well- at last I met her. I went to her place to see her. She was a bit jealous at first, but then she was ok. I also met Ronnie the Fox Terrier and Snoopy the Westie, that live near us and are both very friendy.

Today I had a very exciting experience which I'll never forget. I got in the car with my human mummy and my two sisters. I love the car! You know, I was afraid of it when I was younger. Anyway, the car went, and went, and went... until it stopped and we got out. We entered a big house and there was a man, who smiled at me and talked to me in a way I really like. At first I thought he was a stranger, but when I sniffed around the house I felt I've been here again. Later I found out that he's the man that had brought me up before my family bought me. He gave me lots of yummy treats and taught me how to sit still on the table and how to walk back and forth without annoying my master. He also said I'd better learn this well, because it is essential for me in order to succeed in the dog show. What's a dog show? I still haven't found out.
When the lesson finished, the door opened and suddenly... three big whippets burst into the room! They all smelled me and one of them said "Hi kid, you'd better behave, 'cause WE're the chiefs here!" Gee, that was a bit scary. But when I looked at one of the dogs, I realised I knew her just so well! I sniffed and sniffed and sniffed to find out who she was, and then I remembered... my mom, Hoodie! Yay, my dog mummy! It was a very moving moment. We kissed and I told her all about my new family, the vet, the walks, my toys... Aww, I wish I see my mummy again soon.
