A day in the life of a prince

My birthday is near!

I'm turning two years old on the 23rd of October! Time flies so fast, it seems like only yesterday when my mom took me home from Calamba. I was so tired after that trip that when I got to my new home, after my first dinner in the kitchen, I fell fast asleep in mom's arms. I didn't even flinch when grandma came into the room and she and mom started picking the ticks from my coat. That's probably a good thing -- if I were awake, I'd probably have been fussing.

It's been hard being away from my mom and seeing her only on the weekends, sometimes only every three weekends, but I understand that she has to work. I'm happy with grandma and grandpa anyway, although I do miss mom a lot. She brought Bruce home to stay with us while his dad is away studying in another country -- I know a little about how that feels like. I guess I'm lucky, at least I won't have to wait another year to see my mom. Bruce misses his dad a lot, which is why he does a lot of whining. I only whine when I don't get any bananas after dinner.

We're all happy, though. Every morning, Bruce, Portia, Jade and I meet up in the garden to play the whole day, except when it rains. I usually just go back inside the house when that happens, and try to get some sleep. Bruce, on the other hand, doesn't realize how great it feels to just laze around the whole day. He always seems to need to be moving, jumping, sniffing. He finds it funny to pull my ears with his teeth. Sometimes I wave him away with my paw, and send him skidding across the kitchen floor, but that never stops him. Mostly, I just wait til he gets bored with bugging me and moves on to something else.

Did I tell you that grandma gave Bruce the teddy bear that mommy bought for me? I guess I shouldn't be making a big deal out of it, since I did chew off my teddy's eyes and nose. And I wasn't playing with him anymore when he got all dirty. But grandma cleaned my teddy up real good for Bruce. Oh well. I guess I'll lend it to him for a little while.

Portia's been looking hot lately. She's too tall for me though, way over my league. I wonder when I'm ever gonna meet the right beagirl?
