ALEXIS, in a quite time

How do you count the ways you can love someone.

Well I'm here to tell you after a long ride from Southern Virginia to the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, I found true happiness.

As I was wondering what was to become of me, 2 special people walked into my life and changed everything. They took me for another ride, which was to become my new home. When we arrived I met 3 more members of my extended family. Nikko, a very large Rag Doll cat and Bobby and Willie 2 large red tabbies. I found it a lot of fun to chase the red tabbies. I also met some cousins, a greyhound named Ciera, a Pug named Mieska and huge flat coated retriever named Bear.

After several days I gave my new family a terrible scare, I became very ill with what the Vet called a Virus, it was touch and go for almost a week, but I'm much better now.

I'm trying very hard to be a good girl. I've only had two accidents in the house. I also learned to sit and lay down on command, my mommy taught me that, she says that I must learn manners.
I'm into chewing everything in sight and that gets me into some serious trouble, of course its the teeth don't you know.

I just celebrated my 4th month birthday and have been blessed with a very loving family, aren't I the luckiest girl in the world?!
