   Hi! This picture of me was taken when I was eight weeks old. I live with my mom and dad who think I am just wonderful! I love to travel - I would sell my soul to get in that car and go! Mom and dad took me to Arizona this past winter when I was only four months old. At the beginning of the trip, I jumped up on Mom's shoulder and she thought, "Oh, my! This is going to be a long trip!" After a couple of hours I decided that everything was going to be ok, so I jumped down and got in the little bed they made me and slept most of the way. It took us three days and two nights, and I must say, I was very delightful! That was in January and in February we had to fly home for ten days because Dad's sister passed away. Mom and Dad really worried about making me stay in a carrier all that time. Not to worry - again, I performed at the top of scale! Really raked in the ooh's and aahh's and loves and kisses in the airports - oh, I am so spoiled - heeheehee, just the way I like it!

    I'm kind of a tomboy ... none of that girly stuff for me. I love to be outside and run and run and run. I must admit that I am a bit strong-willed. I come if I want to, not when Mom and Dad think I should, although I am getting better as I get older. And I have trained the old folks that if I totally ignore them and look around like "Who me...you were calling me?" they will then say, "Annie, want a cookie?" and I run right in!

    Well, guess I had better go get the old stuffed animal and see if I can get someone to play...Mom and Dad look too relaxed sitting there watching t.v. Must liven this place up a bit! That's my job!

    Mom says: Annie is a wonderful little traveler. We just returned on Sunday from a whirlwind ten-day driving trip to Southern Arizona. We were on the road for eighteen hours on the second day and arrived home at 2 a.m. Annie slept most of that eighteen hours but was ready to rumble when we reached home. She ran up and down the hallway and around and around the table then fell into bed and slept until I was ready to get up! She is a delight!!
