I'd Like To Introduce

my new brother, Freddy!  He's a 7 year old Yellow Labrador Retriever.  Same breed as Heidi was, but he's a guy, and he's a different color.  Our Vet connected us with his human. She's having some health problems and needed to find him a good home.  So, they recommended us!  So, she brought him over here a couple of weeks ago, and then, last weekend, we went to his house to visit!  He's a very sweet boy.  Very affectionate, even with me.  Last Saturday he planted a big, wet, sloppy kiss on my face!  Both Daddy and Aunt Pat fell in love with him right away.  I like him, too. 

                                                   
However, as his sister, I have a big responsibility.  I have to show him the ropes around here!  Today, I took it pretty easy on him. Once he got here, we briefly played chase around the back yard.  Sometimes I ran after him, other times he ran after me!  It's all in good fun, of course. I introduced him to one of our neighbors, Mr. S.  His daughter has a yellow lab girl named Stella we've mentioned before. Then we hung out on the sofa and watched a baseball game.

After dinner, Daddy took me for our usual walk around the neighborhood.  He didn't take Freddy.  Freddy limps a little.  He probably has arthritis like Heidi did.  He was limping quite a bit this evening after all the horsing around we did outside.  

 So, Daddy and Aunt Pat are going to take him to the Vet they took Heidi too.  You know, the one where she got to go into the whirlpool, and walk on the treadmill underwater...and generally have people fuss all over her and tell her what a good girl she was.  No, I'm not jealous.  My humans fuss over me and tell me what a good girl I am all the time!
