This is Zam. In this picture, he was only 7 weeks old, but he's 5 months old right now. He's technically my brother's puppy dog, but he and I became buds when Ryan was at work all summer. I call him Small Dog or Crazy Tail Dog because his tail is ridiculous. I can't wait to see him when I go home next.

This is Mr. Kninners. He is almost 12 years old, and I love him to pieces. Mr. Kninners' real name is Caramel Apple, but no one has called him that for about 11 years. He is my baby, and I miss him a lot. He gets angry with me for leaving and sits in my suitcase when I'm getting ready to come back to school. He HATES Zam with a flaming passion, but I'm hoping he'll be over it before I go home next.

I missed these guys a lot today.
