The "Hamster" Dog

Hello everyone at HSEC.  I am doing fine here in my new home and wanted to update you on my new life. 
 
I met my new Mom and Dad at my Foster Mom's house in April.  They are really nice and I knew I would like them but they had brought my new sisters (Molly, Coco and Biegnet) with them.  I wasn't real sure about them but now we are one big happy family.  I was known as the hamster dog because I was so little.  My foster mom and Callie both said "Don't worry he won't grow much you will be to push him in a stroller" but I knew different.  I am good at keeping secrets and didn't tell them the truth until later.  They also told Mom and Dad that I had some special needs but they didn't care. 
 
At the end of the weekend we all left Greenville for the trip to my new home in Kentucky.  It was a long drive but Mom let me ride on her lap all the way.  We made lots of stops along the way to enjoy the scenery (you know puppies have to stop alot) but they didn't care.  Once we got to Kentucky I explored my new home.  They already had a special area all set up for me with a bed and toys.
 
As we all got more comfortable Mom and Dad started working with me and my "special abilities".  I can now get up on the couch with no problems but I can't get on the bed.  I don't care about the bed since my favorite place is on the couch watching TV.  I still have trouble jumping but no one cares about that.  Dad also taught me to sit and shake hands.
 
As time went on Mom and Dad learned my "little secret"!  With all the attention and good food I started growing and have not stopped.  I am no longer the little puppy that rode on Mom's lap all the way home.  As Mom puts it I am now her Big Boy!  Although Mom and Dad kept my name I am now known as Truffle "Bubba" Fritze.  They said I am too big to be a little Truffle.  I now weigh almost 50 lbs and I like to say it is all muscle.  Since I only 8 months old they don't think I am done growing yet.  I am still keeping a secret as to how big I will get.
 
I will be back to visit soon and you will be amazed!
 
I am also sending you some of my better pictures.
