Introducing Prince Rafael Zane

we were very sad when our Nickie passed away so suddenly. Mommy was very worried about both Sugar Princess and MEEE. We both loved little Nickie so much and we had been with him when he went to The Rainbow Bridge. Both of us were grieving him and just drooping. Mommy had big concerns about Sugar Princesses health. Sugar had been diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure in March of 201o. Her health had been deteriorating steadily and Sugar Princess was maxed out on her medications. Mommy thought and thought, what would be the best thing to do. She wanted to cheer us up but she was very sad. She knew that Sugar Princess was fading fast and she was worried about what would happen to MEEE when Sugar Princess joined Nickie at The Rainbow Bridge. I had never been alone for one second of my life, I had always been with a human or a fur. Mommy knew that I would be alone for many hours each day while she went to her job. She got very secretive and went on many little trips by herself. I was very worried about Mommy because she was acting very guilty. What had Mommy done? She wouldn't let me help her on the puter when she was on her personal groups. She would cry and talk to the ladies on these groups. This was really frightening for MEEE. What in the world was going on. Then on the evening of May 13, 2011 Mommy gave me a quick Spa and had me dress up in my cute little pink halter vest and put a lovely organza bow in my hair. She attached a pretty pink leash to my vest and told me we were going for a car ride. I was very excited, what was going on? First we went to the ATM at the bank and then we went for a ride down Mayor Magrath Drive. Well before we got to the turn off for the vet's office we turned into a residential district that I had never seen before. We parked and Mommy "fluffed" MEEE up. I was getting very excited. We got out of the car and went across the street to a very nice house. What was Mommy up to????? A very nice couple greeted Mommy and I went right ahead and introduced myself. They oooohed and awwwwed over MEEE. We got acquainted and they visited with Mommy. Then Mommy gave the lady some money and the lady brought out a very cute little York puppy. Of course I went right over and introduced myself to him. We played for a little while then the lady went in the house and got a cute little purple sweater and put it on the little York. Mommy told MEEE that this little York was coming home with us and he was going to be my new baby brother. I was so excited!!! I was so busy giving the little York car manners advice and tips, we were home before I even knew it. I was so proud to bring him in and introduce him to Sugar Princess. Sugar seemed to perk up and she greeted him very gently. Both Sugar and I did our best to make the little fellow feel at home. Of course, Sugar Princess was blind so it fell to me to show him where the water dish was, where the food dishes are and most importantly, where the Pet Loo was. The poor little guy was just overwhelmed and he was missing his Mommy and Daddy, both canine and human. Mommy held him on her lap and had a little talk with him. Sugar Princess and I also had a nice chat with the baby and we just let him know that he was very welcome to our family and that we had the best Mommy ever and he would be very loved by all of us. Over the next few days Mommy had many little chats with the little York. As he got more comfortable being part of our family, he started to open up to us. He told Sugar Princess and I his name and we told him that if he didn't want to be called Baby Pants forever, he better tell Mommy. He felt that he had Mommy wrapped around his little paw, so he was comfortable telling her his name, Prince Rafael Zane. He told Mommy that since she was so fond of little names, she could call him Raffie. This is our cute little brother 5 days after he joined our family.
