Hello, that's me.  I'm Pumpkin.  

And ever since I was a really little puppy, one of my main goals in life has been to have as much fun as I possibly can.  I love to play. 

I like balls and squeaky toys,  but the toys I like best are my fuzzy, stuffed toys. I have a white stuffed ball, a teddy bear named Rum-Rum, and a rat named Ratzo.  I just recently got a new big brother named Sunny, and he tries to take all my toys away from me. Now, I don't mind sharing, but he wants them all and sometimes I have to fight him for them.

Of course, he is so big, and I am so little, that he usually wins in a tug of war.  But Mama makes him share and makes sure that I always have some toys to play with.  Sunny is actually sort of fun to play with though, 'cause when Daddy throws stuff for us to fetch, I always beat Sunny.  I'm lots faster than he is, and I'm smarter too, because I always check to see where Daddy is throwing the toy and get started before he actually throws it.  Of course, Sunny usually takes it away from me and takes it back to Daddy, but I know that I really won and so does Daddy.  I know this 'cause when I go back to Daddy, he always gives me lots of hugs and tells me how good I am.

When it snowed here this winter, I got to go out in the snow and play.  I had never played in the snow before because I am only 4 years old and it hardly even got cold the last 3 winters.  Snow is really lots of fun.

I like to play with my kitty, Keiko too.  She thinks she is the boss of the whole house, but she isn't.  Mama is.  But any way, Keiko likes to hide behind stuff and jump out at me to get me to chase her.  That's fun, 'cause I chase her and then she chases me.

I have one other goal in life and that is to get all the lovin' from my mama and daddy that I can. I'm a really good hugger and snuggler and since I am so little, I get to sit in Mama's lap when she watches TV.  And at night I get to sleep in the big bed between Mama and Daddy.  I don't take up much room.  I'm only 17 pounds and am the same height as my kitty; of course, she is an awfully big kitty.
