From May 12th, 2003 until I turned 10 weeks old, I lived at a place in Australia called 'Rutland Manor'.  Here they fed me, cleaned up after me, and most important of all, my mommy was there to raise me.  I got to run in big open areas on lots of grass and roll around with my 5 other brothers and sisters.  In my litter there are 4 boys and 2 girls.  Their names are Simon, Snickers, Bliss, and then me, Mel.  The other two live in Las Vegas and in Australia.

I had lots of fun here.  They took me to the vet, and once they left me there and I had an operation.  I came home and got a cuddle and it all was good.  I loved my life there so much!  My mum and dad are still breeding there, you can see them on the Rutland Manor Website.

On July 24, 2003 I landed in Newark New Jersey at the airport.  I was hopping all over and then these 6 strange people came up to my crate.  They took me out and gave me a hug.  I realized that this was the new family that I had been promised just the other day when I was in Australia.  I really started to like my new home, it was fun.  I got LOTS of new toys when I finally got back to my new house.  And the best part of all-- I didn't have to share them with anyone!

And then my life began as one of the luckiest doodles alive!
