Romanian language version

So I was telling you in the foreword that I was born on December 29, 1999 - in the last millennium that is, but hey, I'm still feeling hale and hearty in my age :). Plus I am a Capricorn and so is Dorian and that is cool because we make an admirable match :)

We were a litter of six puppies and to my knowledge all my five brothers and sisters are doing great with the people who adopted them. But I am the one better off in my present situation, me thinks, and that's no wonder since I was the first born, hence my strong ego. The picture on the left is probably my first picture ever and it's me and one of my blood brothers when we were big enough to fit into a shoe each. I'm the guy on the right hand side or into the left foot shoe to be exact.

My natural mother is Pappy, she's very pretty and she's got such a ladylike look in this photo taken of her when she was 2½ years old and I'm so proud that I bear a striking resemblance to her.

Anna and Dorian have adopted me in mid February 2000 when I was six weeks only and that happened because Pappy's mom was Anna's colleague at work at the time. She surely must have trusted Anna a great deal to bestow me on her and all I can say now in full confidence is that she was dead right.

My human parents have never had a pet before, but they were considering to get one anyway hoping that it would make a cheering companion for their son who's got rather a retiring nature in general. I'd say Bogdan is a nice chap and all, but he appears to prefer to listen to his classical music CDs and be in his room rather than treat me with overmuch fondness. But I'm attached to him nonetheless. I love mom and dad very much and they reciprocate my love and Dorian shows me his affection and understanding more than anybody else and of course I'm happy I can respond in kind.

We all live in a condo in downtown Bucharest and that's precisely this phase that kinda bothers me because I am such an outdoorsy spirit and peppy, and I soo detest walking on leash and I'm trying hard to get accustomed to busy streets and noisy traffic. Oh well.

Anywayz, to cut a long story short I thought I'd better make a list of my Likes and my Dislikes and it goes like this:

Things I love

bullet Welcoming Dorian back home from work in the evening every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
bullet Being the center of attention Getting my tummy and armpits scratched, legs up *blush*
bullet Pizzas! And table scraps
bullet Buddying up in the park on weekends *grin*
bullet Nestling in bed at Dorian's feet while we nap in the evenings
bullet Sleeping on my back
bullet Long drives (yes, it's rear seat of the car) because I know it's always a picnic or something or even vacation feast!

I am really easy to please and love almost everything...

Things I hate

bullet Seeing Dorian leave for work in the morning every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
bullet Walking my street on lead which is because I have the mischance to live downtown Thunder... oh yes, and vacuum-cleaner buzz
bullet Getting my thatch hair on the skull plucked by hand *ouch*
bullet Being made to come in when I'm wooing my canine acquaintances (girl or boy, no matter who *oh my*)
bullet Dorian's computer and his internet addiction when I'm in the mood to play indoors Dorian's smoking *yuck*
bullet People passing by my doorway when I'm alone at home
bullet Anyone aggravating me, including humans
bullet Sleeping in the car for several nights in a row - because hotel receptionists aren't exactly the nicest people in the world to me *smirk*

As you can see... I'm really easy to get along with!
