          Well, 
          it has been a few weeks now since I was brought home.  My name used to 
          be Ben but my new Mom and Dad changed it to Koby and, with the help of 
          a few treats, I know they are talking to (or about) me when I hear 
          it.  Dad thinks I am really smart because I learned my new name very 
          quickly and I know that when he snaps his fingers and points to my 
          back, I am supposed to sit down.  Little does he know, I am just doing 
          it for the treats!  He wants me to lay down when he says "Down" but, I 
          keep trying to tell him that I am only 5 months old and I don't want 
          to lay down, I want to play!!  But, he won't listen so, I am pretty 
          close to just laying down … besides, I think it means I get more 
          treats and I LOVE treats!!
          
           
          
          
          
I 
          have 3 feline sisters who don't want to play with me.  I keep asking 
          them to play but they just growl and hiss at me.  Sometimes they even 
          try to hit me but Mom and Dad have told me that I am not allowed to 
          hit back because I am too big.  It's okay that they don't play with me 
          because I have a LOT of canine friends in the neighbourhood that I get 
          to play with … there's Callie, James, Bella and Rusty … we have so 
          much fun together!  Mom and Dad think Callie is my girlfriend because 
          we play the best together.  My big sister, Jessica, walks with me 
          after school and sometimes plays with me on the floor too.
          
           
          
           
          
          
          
           
          
          Last 
          weekend, Mom and Dad took me to the doctor for a check up and a couple 
          of needles.  I didn't like the needles but they told me I did well 
          anyway.  My tail has healed pretty good … thank you to everyone at the 
          SPCA for taking care of my tail.  It was hurting a lot and now it 
          doesn't hurt anymore.  Lots of people on our street think I am really 
          cute without my tail.  Sometimes when we are out walking, people call 
          out my name and come running out to the street just to see me and this 
          makes me feel pretty special!!  
          
           
           
          
          
          
          Let's 
          see … what else??  Oh yeah, Dad bought me a new food called Orijen and 
          I love it!  Even Dad tasted it first to make sure it was okay!  
          Sometimes he is so silly I think maybe he is a puppy just like me.  I 
          am not having as many accidents in the house but, when I do, Mom 
          blames Dad … hahaha … because my accidents usually only happen after Dad 
          and I have been wrestling on the floor.  Like Mom says, I am only a 
          puppy and I pee when I get really excited but I am getting much better 
          at telling Mom and Dad that I need to go out before the accidents 
          happen. 
           
           
          
          
           
          
          Mom 
          and Dad took some pictures of me and they are included with this 
          message.  I am looking forward to seeing all of you soon because I 
          think Dad wants to come over this weekend to walk some of my old 
          friends … and I am coming too.  He takes me everywhere because I love 
          riding in the car. 
          
          Thanks 
          for helping me find a fun and loving family,
