Hello, World!

 

Hi, everyone. Or, as my mama would want me to say, "Hello, World!"

I guess I should introduce myself so that you know a little about me before I start my story. First, I'm a little boy puppy and the name that my mama gave me is "Ziggy". I like it! I like the way that it sounds when she says it and I like the way that it has a "Z" at the start of it and I have a kind of a Z pattern on my body! I have a really smart mama! I'm only 11 weeks old and - yes - you probably think that I'm only 8 or 9 weeks, but the people I have been living with tell me that while I might look small, I'm going to be a big boy some day. They say "5 or 6 pounds", which sounds like a lot of pounds, but I don't know what a "pounds" is. Still, it sounds awesome.

I also want to say that I am not typing this myself. I don't have enough fingers to touch all the keys and let's be honest: I don't even have fingers. I know that there are pictures on the internet of puppies and kittens "typing" but don't believe them! We can't do that! So, I have someone typing for me and I have to hope they are typing what I'm saying since in addition to not being able to type, I cannot read. So, here's hoping that you are reading about me and not some random words about buildings and food or whatever.

Most of my life - which is to say all of my life until today - has been with my birthmother and birthfather and birthbrother and a bunch of birthcousins and birthaunts. And, even a birthuncle every now and then. We have lived in a big house where we have lots of room to play and run around and have a great time! But, I have known for a while that before I got too old (did I mention that I'm already 11 weeks old?) I would be leaving my birthfamily and going to my forever home.

So, when I met my mama this week I was so happy to know that soon I would be going to live with her (and whoever else lives with her, which I don't really care about since it's all about me and my mama). She seemed really great when I first met her and while I know that "first impressions" can sometimes be a bit "off", I knew that my first impression of her was that she was sweet and kind and would be the perfect mama for me! I am so happy that she found me!

I know that she misses my aunties, Izzi and Rozi, and I'm happy that I can see pictures of them in my new house. I heard they were very good girls: Izzi seems like she was an angel and Rozi seems like - well - maybe a little bit of a devil? I know that I am not going to replace them and I know that they will always be with my mama and that makes me happy. That my mama can have so much love in her that she can give me what I need but also always care about my aunties. That's a great thing about my mama! One of the great things...I'm sure I will find out more as we live together.

I can't promise that I will write about every little thing that I do, but I'll try to make notes (like this one) so that when I am a big boy, I can hear about what I was like when I was a puppy.

I can't wait to tell you about my life.

Hello, world (indeed)!

Yip, Grr, Arf,
Ziggy
