My World Is Getting Rocked???

[Lindsey, Lee, Whopper and Simba]

Hi friends, Whopper here. I overheard my mom telling someone today that my world is about to get rocked...I didn't quite understand what she meant and didn't think it could be that bad since I sometimes play in some cool rocky areas. I decided to go with the flow until I heard the words that so many of you have warned the rest of us about.

I'm getting a little BROTHER!

My mom says he is coming on Friday from Texas and I'm not sure where that is but I guess it doesn't matter at this point. They keep saying the name Simba so now I know they must be talking about him and not the one I saw on TV one day. He is only 14 weeks old so I just know I have a pretty major task coming up. I just don't know where to begin...do I first teach him where to go potty so he doesn't mess up the places I like to sleep or do I teach him what toys are mine and not to be touched...(of course they are ALL mine!)? Wow...so much to think about this week.

So friends...I still don't get what a brother has to do with rocks but I'm going to be a big sister and need all the support I can get. Time for me to go get some sleep because from the sound of things, that may be hard to get pretty soon.

Congratulations, Whopper!

Wow......I'm really jealous! My mom would love to ROCK my world!.....But Dad says I'm the best dog in the world and why would we want to get another one? ....hmmmm...wouldn't TWO best dogs in the world be double the pleasure?.... I just don't get "parents" sometimes! Keep us posted Whopper!

Thanks Guinness! I knew you'd come through with some good info. I think you're right, my little brother isn't going to be little for long. He is already 19 pounds!

Oh, Whopper, say it "ain't so"....not a little brother. Sure they start out as little...but watch out because he'll be big and trying to push you around in no time. Show him that YOU'RE THE BOSS right from the beginning. There are some really good things though. You'll always have someone to play with when Mom and Dad "aren't in the mood". You'll never be "home alone" again....your brother will always be there with you which is pretty nice. You'll get twice as many treats, because every time your brother does something really good and gets a treat, Mom and Dad will give you one too (they don't want any "jealousy"). Brothers can be a pain sometimes (at least mine can), but we do "stick together". Just remember....break him in right!

Don't worry Whopper...you'll do just fine as a big sister.
