Hello Marvin!

Remember that special house we showed you? This is who is in it!

This is Marvin! Even though her name is Marvin, she is still a girl. She is also a hedgehog!

Her special keeper is our littlest person. Our littlest person cleans her house, and gives her food, and plays with her every day. 

We are still not allowed to meet her, but we've peeked in the door, and we've smelled her lots with our noses. (And also we've smelled her food lots, which smells just like Cat food, so we are very interested in this in particular!)

Welcome to our family Marvin (the girl hedgehog)!

Oh Ball! (by Ojo)

Oh Ball!
You are round.
And orange.
Squishy in my mouth.
And covered in slobber.

Could you be any better?
I think not!

Unless, of course, you were flying through the air...

Oh Sun. (by Ojo)

Oh Sun.

You feel very nice on my fur. 

Oh Grass.

You feel very nice on my belly.

I will just close my eyes... and go... to sleep...

Lake in the Yard! (by Ojo)

Hi hi hi! Ojo here!

Our littlest person made a LAKE in our yard! Isn't that amazing?

She's magic!

I would like to share the lake with you, my littlest person! I am good at sharing!

Oooh, please let me go into the lake!

What - WHO - is this??

This came home with our littlest person last night. Someone is in there. We can smell her with our noses.

But who is she? WHAT is she??

Gotcha Day! (by Ojo)

Hi hi hi! Ojo here!

Today is my Gotcha Day! This means that one year ago today my people brought me home!

Before that I lived on the streets in a very hot place. Then I lived in the place called Shelter. Then I lived in Foster Home 1. Then Foster Home 2. So when I went home with these people I did not think it would last. Their home had the smells of another Dog, and Cats too. It was not my home.

But now it is my home. It has my scent all over it. It has my bed and my bowl and my crate and my toys. It has Cobi. And, best of all, it has MY people. I am so happy you found me, My People!

Gardening?

Hi. What are you doing over there? What is gardening? Can I help?

Tomatoes?

Tomato plants, you say? Are they yummy?

Hurray! (by Ojo)

Hi hi hi! Ojo here!

Hurray! I am running and splashing again!

Oops, sorry Cobi!

Must you??

What is this? I found it in the grass. It smells like little person. Why is it here? What is it for?

Really? Really???

I do not think this is what it is for. Why must the people be so ridiculous?

New Game - Sniffing! (by Ojo)

Hi hi hi! Ojo here!

I hurt my leg. This is sad, because there have not been many Walks and I am not allowed to run.

BUT, on the happy side, my person made up a new game!

This game is called "Find It!". My person tosses a bunch of kibble (or meat, or cheese) into the grass and I need to use my nose to find it all! This is almost as good as finding banana peels and rotting crabs on our Walks!

Still, I hope we can do Walks again soon...
