No Foolin' - its April

Whew! March was quite a month! First, we moved out of temporary housing and into a townhouse in Philadelphia. Not long after that, big brother Mickey joined us. About a week later, all of our stuff came on this really big truck. Then I got not just one, but TWO new dog walkers. One day after that, I got picked up and taken to day care where I got to play with another Frenchie. Seems like every day something new was going on.

Moving out of temporary housing was quite a commotion. It took 3 car trips to move clothes, cats, and me from our little apartment in downtown "Center City" to our new townhouse in the Northern Liberties neighborhood in Philadelphia. I thought it was kinda fun - just another adventure - but the cats weren't quite as thrilled. I quickly made my claim on one of the bedrooms, and gave the cats their choice of two other bedrooms. Of course, my bedroom is also known as the master bedroom, but they don't really need to know that, right?

It wasn't long after that when big brother Mickey showed up. He hadn't ever been on a plane before, and it took a special extra large kennel to get him coast to coast. We had to rent a mini van and drive to New Jersey to pick him up really early on a Saturday morning. I can't imagine flying cargo - my big brother is tough though and was ready to roll from the moment he landed.

Big brother and I go for walks together in the mornings and evenings. He wears some sort of contraption around his mouth so that he doesn't get too excited and think I'm a snack. Not sure what all the fuss is about - we do just fine. During the weekdays, we have dog walkers Dan and Kim that come and take us out separately. Mickey goes off to a vacant lot nearby where he can run without any worries, and I get to wander around the neighborhood and say hello to everyone. One day I got a special pickup and got to spend the day at a house with another Frenchie and a few other dogs. It was super fun!

Somewhere in there a big truck pulled up and a BUNCH of boxes were unloaded into the townhouse. Jackpot! My toys were here....I had almost forgotten about some of my favorites. I was paralyzed with happiness but pulled it together and made sure my stash was stacked in one area away from the cats and big brother. If you've ever seen Mickey with a toy, it lasts about 4.8 sections before it's ripped to shreds. Seriously, one day we'll have to You Tube it - he'd go viral.

'here I am keeping watch over my green bunny'

So now its April. That's a good thing - it means baseball, the sun starting to come out more, and most importantly its getting warmer outside. I'm ready to ditch the sweaters and sit on the rooftop deck to take in some rays!

Happy Spring everyone! Miss all of you on the West Coast. I'll post some more pics soon.
