Tiki

Hello! I am Gemstone's Tihikin Gold (can you believe that name?), but everyone calls me Tiki (I like that a lot better!). I was born by cesarean section on January 10, 1999, along with my 3 brothers and 3 sisters.
This is a picture of me with my mamma (Coco) and brothers and sisters when we were three weeks old. Can you tell which one is me? No? Well, ok, I'll just tell you.....I'm the cute one sitting right between mamma's legs.

When I was four weeks old, some strange people came to see me. Little did I know then that I would soon leave home to go live with them. My Mom looked at all of us puppies and then reached in and picked me up! I promptly decided she was much to clean and began to cover her in my sweet puppy kisses. I licked and licked until I couldn't lick any more. Then I curled up in her lap and fell asleep. She was hooked! Mom came back to see me again a couple of weeks later and took these pictures.

A little privacy please!

This is me with my big sister, Marqui.

Finally the big day arrived.   On March 7, 1999, my first human mom loaded me into a crate with my brothers and sisters and we went for a ride. When we got to my new home, I was let outside in the back yard to run around with my sister for a little while. I wasn't so sure about the great outdoors at first. I would shake all over every time Mom took me out. Now I love being outside...as long it isn't raining.   I did get pretty lonely that first night too. I cried and cried all night long. The next night Mom moved my kennel into her bedroom, and things weren't so bad after that.

One of the first things I had to do at my new home was have a bath....and I've been having them once a week since! Mom says it's too keep me from smelling like a dog. Now I ask you, just what is wrong with smelling like a dog???

Nothing like a nice pile of laundry to rest on.

Skinny little thing wasn't I?   Mom says it's because I couldn't eat enough to keep up with my growing.

I used to love to play in the cats' bed. Later, after I had out grown it, I found another way to play with it....I tore it to pieces!!!   Boy oh boy was Mom mad. hehehehe You shoulda seen her picking up all those little pieces of foam. ;-)
