My big sister, Ursela, seems to be looking up to me these days (even though she’s taller). Probably because of all of the attention that I get from looking precious when I sit in my trademark pose, Ursela now “sits stupid” regularly. The only trouble is that I do think that it negatively effects the amount of attention that I get. There’s only so much to go around you know.

It’s official, I’m a traveling dog.  Mom & dad took the prettiest family members which is me, Briten, and Ursela, on a road trip to mean extended human family and to see the sights.

There was lots and lots of driving, but also lots and lots of people to tell me how pretty I am.  Pretty much, I’m the cutest since I’m the youngest and prettiest.

We drove through Oklahoma, Missouri, and Illinois to get to Wisconsin.  I have now been in 5 states!  That’s 5% of the country for those who have calculators and fingers.  It was also Briten’s first trip out of Texas so she has been in 5 states now, too.

Where Whisper's Been Map

Ursela has traveled lots, but not with wuch a cute travel companion!  Ursela has been in 11 states, which is 22% of the country for the calculator and finger types.

Brother dog, Waylan, didn’t get to come because of his obvious lack of cutness.  We also left all three kitties to guard the house.  And also because kitties are way less cute than dogs.

Road tripping means lots of long drives in the car so I will take a break for now.  But I’m sure that I’m cute enough to eventually beat Ursela’s record of 11 states!

Today an awesome video of me (and my brother Waylan) was submitted to America’s Funniest Videos.  It’s hilarious and I hope to share it soon, but we can’t post it yet due to the AFV rules.  Oh, and I’m a competitive girl so I may be lobbying for my video soon on ABC’s website.  Watch the blog or my Mom’s Twitter page at http://twitter.com/AriaInAustin.

So instead, I have totally CUTE video featuring yours truly to share.  You can even see it in HD on YouTube because my parents are high-tech!

Well, as it turns out, I’m not allowed to vote being that I’m not a citizen of the United States… yet.  But the presidential dogs have been selected.

The American Kennel Club, who DOES recognize me as a registered member, recently held a poll about presidential dogs.  Finally, some quality candidates!
