Here I am, MoonShadow, at 6 months old. I needed my face shaved, but aren't I still beautiful? I'm a really odd color, not really silver, but not ...un-silvery. I kinda have some bronze in my fur, but only in the right light, and certainly not on my face. I'm pretty special.

I have been having lots of fun lately, going places with mom, and playing with my doggy family, but MAN is it HOT!! I have learned that water is my friend! I love to get both my front feey in the water (the water I'm supposed to drink) and splash, splash, splash! I do this right after mom cleans out our water tub and puts new fresh water in it. I do this EVERY DAY! I always wait till mom goes back inside. It's funny, at 1st mom thought my sis, Josie, was the culprit, but she found out that its actually me. I'm the only one who always seems to have wet front feet. You can see that even in this photo I have wet front feet. Mom always tells me I'm her clown. Mom also tells me that I don't seem to know how big I am. I'm very gentle with people and very patient with my human siblings even when Dartagnan, my 1 1/2 yr old human brother, pretends I'm a horse. (This is something mom tells him repeatedly not to do because she is afraid he will hurt my back. She is silly, doesn't she know I'm practically indistructable?) He sneaks up on me when I'm laying down and mounts me like a horse. I either ignore him while he sits on me or, if I'm not in the mood, I gently slide him off my back while I stand up and swear in my doggy language. It sure is a good thing mom doesn't speak dog.
