Karma von der Schädelzmatt

Hello. My name is Karma

I was born on Feb 2, 2008 to Cora von der Wendelinsmatte and Elio vom Schärlig at Zuchstätte von der Schädelzmatt in Lommiswil Switzerland. I am from a litter of five. All girls.

I've been in California since the beginning of April and I am having SO much fun! I play all day and I learn new things all the time. I chase the birds in the backyard and climb the hills behind our house.
My best friends and my family are Jeneva and Duce. I am only about six months younger than Jeneva and we are also cousins, so she is my primary companion and teacher. We run and tumble all the time and find a lot of interesting things to do. We find all kinds of sticks and lizards and bring them into the house. We dig holes and play with the neighbor dogs. We have even created our own agility course by jumping through the screen doors leading into the rear of the house. Duce joins in too, of course, but he is more than a year older and, at times, stands clear of our crazy puppy antics. He is very tolerant of having two wild girls zooming through his day.
I am also learning to swim. I have already been in the pool but I splashed so hard I found it difficult to keep my butt afloat. I still need help getting around in the water. I have to work on not flailing my arms so much and finding my 'center of gravity'. My back end keeps sinking because of the uproar I create.

I am an enigma. I am not the protective watch dog of the group. I leave that to Jeneva. At her first alarm, I am off in the opposite direction. Jeneva and Duce will patrol for any signs of danger and I am happy to let them do so. However, I am not afraid of the unknown and will readily explore that dreaded cardboard box, garden hose, or rattling hula-hoop ahead of anyone else. I suppose if I am unaware that something or someone could be dangerous, I'm fine. I like to fearlessly explore. I am also tenacious and will not back down from any altercation within the group. I may be the smallest but I usually end up with the toy or the bone. Everyone generally gives up before I do.

I live in the Hollywood Hills and I am told that some of my neighbors are George Clooney and Britney Spears. I haven't met them yet and that's ok since I sure enjoy climbing and exploring the hillsides. There are so many treasures to be found and every day brings a new adventure.
