I had my first birthday, and I'm 1 now! You should see me. You CAN see me, in my fabulous new glamour shots. There's my new userpic, where I show off my Look. I call it 'Blue Steel'. I didn't steal that from Zoolander, either. I have a steely gaze, don't you think? And my eyes are blue. Blue Steel. Or you could say it like, *Bluuuue Steeeel*, in a really raspy announcer-guy voice. I like that, too. Yeah. Try it like that, okay?

So, I've been real busy. I'm marginally better at my walks now, and I sorta know what I'm supposed to do. The problem is this: what I'm supposed to do, and what I want to do are two different things. I'm real good at all my other tricks, though, and mannerly. Only not on our walks...I just want to frolic around like a total fool, and I don't like having to worry about slamming into person legs while I whip around in my gleeful way. Jeez, they're like tree trunks, these people.

I know that I get liver treats if I do the 'heel' thing, so I do that sometimes, but squirrels and dogs and plants and bees and ants and people and kids and cars and rocks and acorns and candy wrappers and dandelions and ferns and mystery gunk are all so enticing. I want to get fully acquainted with everyone and everything I run across, and it's not all my fault. They like to meet me, too.

I had my one year birthday on August 1st, and Mom and Dad brought me a hamburger cake (no onions) from McDonalds. I hadta share it with Delphi, but whatever. It took me a while to work on that thing anyway. I had some fries too.

Then it was Delphi's birthday (she turned 3), and we had another hamburger cake (this time I was glad about the sharing rule), and mom and Nero had birthdays too! It's been pretty fun these days. I hope you're all doing well, too!

Love
