I love meeting my family!

The past few days have been terrific. I've been getting far more food than usual as my cousins (male non-porcines named Neal and Lane) have been giving me additional treats while helping Daddy with my training. I can now *sit*, *stay*, *pirouette*, *figure eight* and am now learning how to *curtsey*. The *curtsey* trick is by far the most difficult to date and they are going to have to dole out far more treats if they want me to kneel down on my front legs! To be honest with you, it's not the most comfortable position and I'm not too keen on it at all. But I may change my mind if the menu is expanded to my liking.

My cousins have been hanging out with me a lot. My auntie (female non-porcine named Annie, who is apparently the sister of Mommy) hasn't been down to my residence as much but when she has visited, she's stayed a while and I liked it. I've really enjoyed having others here -- while I love my Mommy and Daddy, it's still nice to have a variety of non-porcines to play with. Plus, I tend to get more food as the population of the house increases.

One thing though...while I have really enjoyed this visiting stuff, I have to tell you all that I am a tad confused. Neal looks exactly like Lane and Lane looks exactly like Neal. It's like when I see that pig in the shiny glass that looks exactly like me. (I can never catch the pig in the shiny glass, btw...) I just don't understand! My Mommy said something about twins, identical, cousins...etc. All I know is that I can't tell one from the other even when they visit me at the same time. So confusing!

In my confused and plum-tuckered out state, I will have to bid you all adieu for the evening. I've been playing soccer with Mommy, Lane and Neal and I am so tired I may sleep through the entire night. Ha ha...as IF! You KNOW I have to get up periodically and check the food area...! I'll check in with you all again soon.
