LOWELL

When we brought Kona back to the CDC, we got Lowell. He is black like all of us GG's.  I'm not sure, though, that a boy puppy can be a GG.

  I really liked him.  He was lots of fun to play with and I will miss him - but it will be nice to be puppyless for a while so I can get some attention.

Lowell got to do all the things I used to do before I became a regular dog.

He met Roger the Jester at Christmas in Stockbridge - and like me was part of his show.  Please note that he is wearing the dreaded elf suit - I am so happy it does not fit me any more.

 Athough I have to say that it looked good on me.

He went to lift operator training (actually we both did but I did not get my picture taken very much).  Please note that he, not me Raisin,  is the puppy snuggling with my friend Janna.

Making sure that ski patrol does lift evacuation properly - very important in case the lift breaks so that was my job.

Lowell also got to go to a Christmas party.  I did miss going to that because it is always nice to get presents but only Lowell got to go and get a Christmas present.  And he did not even ask Santa Paws for it!  I hope I will still get a present at Christmas - maybe some bones for me and the GG's and we could use a new bed at work.  Because somebody (who will remain nameless) ate our bed.

 Lowell and his sister Lennox went first because they were the youngest puppies and got to pick out their presents at the same time   - he picked out the big red stocking.

He did meet Santa Paws but not at the party.

I was jealous when he got to go to the car place to get snow tires

because Ralph is MY special friend and always gives me treats.  At least Lowell did not get any treats. 

He went on a groomer ride - I remember I was very scared the first time I went.

We went to work every day - and on the days we worked in Lenox, Lowell got to go to McDonalds

We had a snow storm while Lowell was here.  So much fun to play in new, fluffy snow.

Best of luck to Lowell as he heads off to his new life in the Bay Region.
