Hello, my name is Shiimsa and I’m an American Cocker Spaniel. I was born on October 1, 2004. My name is an Ojibwa Indian word that means “little animal friend”. I live in the beautiful State of Washington, in the capitol city of Olympia.

My masters, play with me and love me very much. My male master, Michael, spends a lot of his day sitting at this thing he calls a computer, with me watching over his shoulder. His lovely wife, Laura, spends most of her day writing poetry and doing art work. When they left home a while back, I was able to hack into his high-speed internet account and create my own email address, and set up a personal website so I can have my own little spot in something called cyberspace.

I’m not the only animal in this house. There were others when I first got here, a couple of noisy cockatiels that I was NEVER allowed to get close to, and a rat. After a couple of months of my pestering the birds, Laura decided that it was in their best interest to live somewhere else. They moved to a new home where I hear that they are very happy. The rat died. Now, to my glee I have a CAT to keep me company! His name is Moah.

I love to chase a ball, ESPECIALLY if it squeaks, tug on a rope toy or a sock, but my favorite thing in the whole wide world is the red dot. It appears magically out of nowhere, then it goes all around the house and I chase it until I am panting real hard, then it just disappears. Then I go lay down and patiently wait for it to come back... It always does somehow. I think it’s called a laser. This cat likes it too. When he tries to chase it, I show him who’s boss. That’s MY red dot!

In the morning when I get up, I have to work, I go outside and get the paper and bring it inside. Then I go for a walk. When I get the chance, I drag paper out of the trash and tear it up. Regardless of what others may think, shredding paper and making a huge mess can be fun. I used to very adept at hauling every shoe out of the closet and spreading them about the house, but that got boring so I quit doing that. The rest of the day I just lay around and eat, sleep and poop. Pretty exciting stuff, huh?

Well, thanks for stopping by, and drop back again every once and a while to see if there is anything new, or maybe some new pictures of me.

HIV and AIDS are fast becoming the worst epidemic in human history, with no end in sight.

As mascot for United Communities AIDS Network, I urge you to get tested for HIV. It is important to get tested for HIV on a regular basis. If you test negative for HIV take steps to stay that way. If you test HIV+ seek on-going medical care. By taking advantage of good health care and treatment, you increase your chances of living a longer and healthier life.
