MY NEW PET

His name is Buzzy.

Buzzy MacBuzzerson, to be exact.

We've been together ten days now, and methinks this might be the real thing and we could be in it for the long haul, so I figured I'd introduce you.

Buzzy was born on Tuesday, January 31 in Memorial Hospital of South Bend.  He weighs nothing, and is approximately nine and a half inches long.  He is still a bit red in the face and a little swollen from the birthing process, but in time he will calm down and behave himself nicely.

My job as Mommie is to water him and keep him clean and to protect him from any harm that might come by way of heavy lifting, bumping, or anything tight around his little neck.  

When he's old enough, Buzzy and I will take field trips together that will mean sitting in a chair quietly for a little while.  We've been practicising this, and so far we are doing swell with it.

Buzzy met our family doctor today and thought she was very nice.  She gave him a little check-up, felt his temperature, and told him to grow big and strong.  It was a lovely visit.

Just like his Mommie. Buzzy likes to take long snoozy naps, and he especially enjoys being cuddled up in something soft and cozy...like a special blanket that his Mommie keeps in the bed that belonged to the little love of her life.  Buzzy is very careful with the blanket and feels that it has protective powers.

All in all, life with Buzzy is starting well.  We're going to read the paper and then have a little rest this afternoon.   We're a bit worn out from our shower and field trip to the doctor today, so looks like a nice sleep will be a perfect thing to have.

Night night, Buzzy.  Welcome to the family!  Let's have some fun together and go on adventures...but first let's get a little stitching done!
