Hi, my name is Kruzer. This is my first full, official day as a Dudley. Mr. and Mrs. picked me up in Portland yesterday and brought me in the car to Newport. I am about two years old (I was abandoned and rescued so my exact birthday is unknown - August 6th is my "Aunt Bonnie's" birthday so I think August 6th will be my birthday, too). My previous owner loved me very much but developed allergies and had to find a new home for me.
Yesterday, on the ride from Portland to Newport, Mr. said I should be allowed out of my carrier and run loose on the trip home. Mrs. wasn't sure this was a good idea but Mr. won. I think Mr. is going to be a pushover and I am going to have to work very hard to wind Mrs. around my little paw like I do Mr. Anyway, it was a GREAT ride! I got to see lots of cars, people, trees and farms. I even got to see the ocean!!! One time I tried to steer the car and Mrs. had to get me and hold me on her lap for a short time but other than that it was great. My favorite place was riding on Mr's shoulder.
My new house is about three times bigger than my old apartment so I get to explore everything . . . They have lots and lots of windows so I get to play with the cool things with slats that really make a neat noise and they have a string hanging down with a ball. I mean it is a cat's Heaven! Nothing better than sitting in a window sill. I haven't knocked too many things over getting to the windows. I tried to climb the big shelf in the living room and knocked over a couple of pictures so Mrs. made me get down. (I REALLY do have to work with her more).
I got to sleep with them and they didn't seem to mind too much when I walked on their faces at 3:00 in the morning (even Mrs. didn't get mad).
Mr. took me out to the garage with him today and there were sooooo many places to hide and to jump on. He said I did really good. I came when he called me and I got to lay down close to him. Maybe he'll let me go with him again.
Well, enough of my adventures for now. I miss my old person but I think I am going to do just fine as a Dudley. Talk to you soon!!!
