I was born for High Adventures!

I was born on November 8, 1999 in Mom's kitchen in Poços de Caldas, MG, Brasil. I was the smallest of nine puppies and this is why I am still with Mom. When people came to choose a puppy to buy, Mom hid me so they would not want me. They never saw me!

When all my brothers and sisters were gone then I decided, for sure, to stay with her. From then on every place I go I take her with me. We traveled a lot in Brasil to such places as Campinas and Batatais.

When I was two years old Mom decided to find someone to take care of us. It had to be someone special who liked dogs because Mom had adopted several other brothers and sisters for me. This person should accept me IN THEIR BED. Can you imagine putting such impossible rules on a newcomer? I thought Mom was asking too much and would never find such a person. Well, she bought a computer and started to search the world for such a person.

It took her a loooong time, then in two days she had found what we were looking for. She found a Great White Bear in Canada.

On Nov 26, 2003 Urso Branco arrived in Brasil for the first time, That is when all my adventures began. I took them on a honeymoon in Monte Verde, a gorgeous town in the mountains of Minas Gerais, Brasil.

This is me in my mobile home in Monte Verde.




Aren't I Cute?



Now let's start the adventures!





This is Mom and I at the airport in Monte Verde on the mountaintop having a beer, in Dec, 2003.




Daddy and I have a beer at the airport too!




I loved this Chocolate Place. It was a restaurant and they served us all kinds of delicious chocolate drinks and sweets. That's Mom and I on the steps.





I was dressed up in the latest Fall Fashions.





Mom and I enjoyed walking around the Pousada grounds.





I even looked good indoors.





But this was to be the first of many firsts for me. Here I am having my very first Jacuzzi bath. It was wonderful!





When I was done Mom wrapped me in a big fluffy towel.





Then she rubbed me dry. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH!





After the rubdown with the towel I sat on the bed to rest a bit.





The Jacuzzi made me feel so sleepy I curled up in bed and had a good nap.





Afterward, it was back outside to play with my toy.




So that is how my adventures began.
