Actually walking up on four legs! Hey, I had to get to my kibble bowl, right? Well, it seems that I MIGHT have actually JUMPED onto the bed last night after having JUMPED down from where I was sleeping with mama, but papa thinks mama might have dreamed it. Still, even in a dream, I am hoping this year to move toward stronger back legs and to continue my...
