Page.
Hi, I'm Aspen.
My mom and dad gave me my name because I am
almost completely Snow White. I've been all over the world; Switzerland, Germany,
England, and France. My favorite movie is Air Bud. My natural mom and
dad were both champion retrievers and I can honestly say that very little of the
discipline associated with being a great retriever was pasted to me. I love my Michael and
Spencer. They are my whole life. I've been having difficulty dealing with the
loss of my friend Bo-Kitty. But now we have Snickers and I'll enjoy
teaching him just who is in charge around here. His pictures are also on
this page. Now we have a new kitty that I have to contend with. Her
name is Tripod because she only has three legs. I give her a break because
she can't run as fast as Snickers...
Hi, I'm Java.
My full name is Java Beans Blanton.
January 3rd, 1999:
I've nearly doubled in size since the Blanton Family brought me to their home on
November 4th, 1998. We survived Christmas, but I nearly pulled the Christmas tree
down numerous times when I was pulling on the light strings. One time, I was going
after Snickers who was all the way up the tree when my bud Spencer told Mom on me -
the Angel fell down from off the very top of the tree. It was really cool,
the tree was swaying from side to side, and poor Snickers was holding on for dear life.
Hey, at least the Angel didn't break, right...? And, Aspen has taught me that
I'm supposed to torment Snickers. Now Aspen doesn't have to do it anymore. I
love to make Snickers hiss at me, it just really gets me going. I can even chase my
tail now. I'll go around, and around until I finally catch it. I've even seen
Snickers do the same thing - but I don't think humans do anything like that - well I
haven't seen any of the Blantons do anything like that... yet... anyway.
Well, Aspen has really been teaching me the ropes, just like she did with Snickers
when the Blantons brought him home. Aspen has taught me how to NOT tinkle and (well,
you know what) in the house. I think I've been doing a nice job of getting to the
door and giving a soft bark (Aspen taught me that, too) to let someone know I need to go
out. I'm growing really fast - so check back soon for another update.
November 4th, 1998:
That's right folks, The Blanton's are proud to announce the arrival of Java Beans Blanton. He was born on September 8, 1998
here in Dallas. Java is 13 lbs 2 oz. with a rich coat and beautiful eyes. He
is a chocolate Labrador Retriever. Java is from excellent stock and we expect great
things from him in the future.
Hi, I'm Snickers.
And I'm not the new kid on the block anymore! Now I have Tripod to
chase after and she really keeps me going. She is so playful for being a
bit "disadvantaged." I try to give her a break because I don't
want her to hurt her good back leg.
When I was the new pet here in the Blanton household I enjoyed all my household investigating and
had fun convincing Aspen that she needs
to do as she's told. I thought before too long she'll be calling ME master. I was so
glad when Cathy decided to adopt me from the local shelter. I was only a little over
a year old when she adopted me and it was very lonely in my cage at the shelter. Its really great to have a place to
call home and a nice family to go with it!
Hi, I'm Tripod.
And I am the new kid on the block now. I sure do appreciate the
Blanton family picking me up at the Pet's Mart. That cage sure was cold
and scary. Lots of people came by to see me everyday, but no one would
take me home with them. I'm pretty sure it was because they saw I only
have three legs. You see, I lost my back right leg in an accident with a
big car - I was scared! But guess what, that's why Cathy thinks I'm so
special. When I walk I sort of hop like a bunny. Cathy said I am so
cute. She told me she would give me a nice comfortable home with another
kitty to keep me company. His name is Snickers and he and I have become
like brother and sister. I love the Blanton family and I'm proud of my new
name Tripod Blanton. We also have two really big dogs
that I have only seen briefly - they run soooo fast!
