Exciting news!

Mom has been home all week with me. I'm so happy!

Lots of strange things are happening, though:

new furniture is being delivered, my parents are making lists all the time

and two large suitcases are opened in the bedroom.

Are we going to the beach again?

"No, answered mom. This time, daddy and I will be by ourselves...

We are going to China,

which is too far away

for you to come.

Starting tomorrow, you'll be going to the doggie daycare

for 3 whole weeks.

But don't worry, the nice owner will take you to her home at night,

because your are her favorite...

Lucky boy!

And when we'll come back, we'll have a big surprise for you!"

"What is it? What is it?"

"It's a long and complicated story for such a little dog.

You already know there are cats and dogs in shelters looking for a forever home.

Well, there are also many human babies without parents who want to grow up in a loving family. Philippe and I had to wait a loooong time and fill out many papers, but now the time has come. We are finally going to meet baby Jérôme!"

"Wow! Now, I'm really excited! I'll finally have someone to play with.

But wait a minute, does that mean I'll have to learn to share toys?"
