Well, well, well.... it looks like little Annie is here to stay! Actually I'm happy, because when she gets better I'll have someone else to play with, and to pick on! My mommy says God sent her to us, so I know it is meant to be. I knew it all along, actually, because I know EVERYTHING!

I'm really looking forward to getting to actually play with her instead of just looking at her. Every time I try to sneak into her carrier when Mom or Dad or Alex opens the door, they call me a "little sh$t" and move me away from it! I don't know what they have to go and do that for. I'm not going to do anything bad. I just want to meet her up close, and start playing with her! Can't they understand that?

I get to be a big brother now, too, instead of just a little brother! Oh, boy, won't that be a riot? I'll be able to teach her so much! Like what all she can and can't get by with around here! I can show her how to pull down the sheer curtains behind the drapes, and how to climb the baby gate if they put it back up when she starts running around. I'll be able to show her how to get our humans to ring a little bell whenever they have our food ready, so we don't have to take any extra time from our play to go ask them to feed us. I'll have to show her how to catch the little ball as it goes around the Turbo Track trying to get away from us, and how to sharpen her claws in the center of the Turbo Track.

I'll show her how to arch her back and hop sideways on her tippy toes while hissing at Sandi and Oreo, so they will show her some respect! But she won't be able to get by with that with me, because I already know that she's really just a little baby under all that furocious acting!

I'll also have to show her how to type on the computer, and how to log in to "Pet Talk" on Mommy's account, so she'll be able to start writing her own diary on here. (Then I can take sneak peeks at her diary, too, and figure out what she's thinking, etc. I won't teach her how to do that to mine, though, because mine is going to be "private" from her!)

Type more tomorrow.....
