Here's how it all began...

Six weeks old

I was born in Osterbybruk, Sweden on September 20, 2004.  I have a brother, Barr and a sister, Biella.  I was the smallest of the litter and have developed a hugh personality to make up for my size!!  My owner says I have an attitude... don't all Swedish Lapphunds?  We know we are special and like to remind others of it whenever we can. 
 
I arrived in San Francisco on December 16th... what a long journey that was!  I was so excited to meet my new family that I barked and jumped around non-stop in the car all the way to Petaluma - our destination.  Ask my owner's sister, Julie... she expected to cuddle with a docile little puppy all the way home.... well... surprise!!  I couldn't get enough kisses and wiggles out after that long flight.

When I arrived in my NorCal home I was greeted by new family... one whom I thought might be a relative - Miss Sophie.  She is actually the reason my owner started on this long journey to bring me home.  More about that later.

It was a long journey and finally I am home!

Welcome little lapphund!

I think this new home will be just fine!  I love my California Mom, Sophie... she is the reason I am here to be sure.  We get along great because I understand that she is alpha of the pack!
