A Visit to NYC Without Me!

So my oh-so-loving parents decided to visit NYC this past weekend and did not bring me, despite my vocal objections. Daddy was worried about the plane ride for me since he thinks I wouldn't fit underneath the seat. Bah humbug! I would have sucked in my gut the whole plane ride if that was what it took to visit my old stomping grounds. One of my Dad's students came to baby-sit me, so it turned out ok. But still, I would have loved to return to the hustle and bustle of the city and to visit my uncle and aunt.

This is my uncle Inu, who is a Shiba Inu (yes, my grandmother is very creative with her names -- NOT!). It is weird that he is my uncle since he is only 6 months older than me. Mommy tells me that he is a spaz. My uncle Kevin thinks the dog has ADD since Inu is always running from one thing to another.

Here is Inu posing for the camera. I think he is quite a photogenic dog, despite not being a pug. We used to get into all sorts of fights when I lived in NYC -- I was always the victor of course. Who can compete against the muscles of a pug?! Notice the little rat in the corner . . .

This is the little white rat (aka chihuahua) that sleeps with Grandma. Mommy doesn't understand why anyone would keep a rat as a pet. Daddy thinks she is cute. All I know is that I like sleeping on her bed (Grandma gets mad at me when I do that because I end up crushing her tiny mattress)

This is my Uncle Kevin cuddling the rat. If I was there, he would be cuddling me!
