Simoun Darkwind de Bonheur (2/22/99 - present)

So, this is Simoun. She watches over all of us here. She leads me down the stairs at night to show me where to go potty. Sometimes she snarls at me but only because I push her a little too much. Some day I would like to be just like her....well not so much with the snarling.

Simoun is very protective of Bella. I'm beginning to wonder if Bella runs to her on purpose so that I get in trouble. Simoun misses Brigette very much and I hope that I can fill the gap. Boy that dog Brigette must have been some dog....everyone here talks about her all the time.

Bonheur Jewel Beyond Price aka Brigette (12/22/98 - 01/09/08)

This is Brigette. I never met her, but my mommy tells me how wonderful she was. Mommy and daddy have done rescue for a long time and Brigette was always willing to share her home with new animals. She made sure that everyone learned the ropes and were able to go to their new home well trained. Mommy and daddy truly miss Brigette and I am sorry that I did not have an opportunity to meet her. Hopefully I will be able to help them through this difficult time and bring them new happy memories.

Introduction

My human family consists of Joe, Maya & Kerri (well...sometimes Kerri....she lives down at school most of the time).

My animal kingdom friends are many and varied....there is Simoun the black Belgain Tervuren who keeps me in line; Bella the Chihauhau who has changed into a shark and DOESN'T like me playing with her toys; D'Artagnan the black cat whom I have actually never met, but mommy says he comes out at night and plays with her feet; Gyzmo the blue persian who has stopped hiding from me and now looks at me like he wants to rip my eyes out....I tend to stay away from him....; and then, there's Ecko the African Grey who whistles when daddy calls me.

I have been here almost a week and I have met a few people....seen new places (well, just one, and that would be the vet's office where one lady coo'd all over me saying she wanted one just like me)....and made myself quite at home. Daddy tries to take me for a walk around the neighborhood, but I get tired pretty quickly so I just stretch out on the ground and look up at him...he thinks I'm cute when I do that.

Mommy told me that we would be seeing lots of friends in a few weeks, I can hardly wait. I am looking forward to seeing others who can worship me like I deserve!
