I make other ... http://www.nateandtiff.com/pups/2007/10/26/life-as-a-kitty/ I was looking at some pictures with dad, and noticed how different I look than when they adopted me.

Her name is Oakley Anne Nikita Carlson. She's about 6 months old, and is a beautiful Husky mix. She's got one blue eye, and one hazel-ish eye. ... http://www.nateandtiff.com/pups/2007/05/31/a-long-overdue-post-ive-got-a-sister/ Actually, I blame Nate.

Nate told me it was something called "frost", and it's what happens when things start to get cold. I like it - I can jump around and feel the grass crunch underneath me. ... http://www.nateandtiff.com/pups/2006/10/10/frost-is-fun/ I think I finally understand what Tiff and Nate have been trying to teach me ever since they rescued me -- I am supposed to pee and poo *outside*, and not in the house!

I'll be ... http://www.nateandtiff.com/pups/2006/06/22/landscaping-soon-well-have-grass/ I watched the movie "Eight Below" with Nate and Tiff the other night. Let me tell you - it was great! I got to see lots of puppies, and how they survived on their own. I think I've developed a bit of a puppy crush on Maya, she's a cutie! ... http://www.nateandtiff.com/pups/2006/06/21/movie-review-eight-below-new-trick/ I've set up a new "Destroyed Items" page.
