Turkey Day!!!

I LOVE turkey day. Yesterday was turkey day and I got some. Oh, that sweet white meat was so tasty. I loved every tiny morsel. After we ate we took a nap. Mama laid on the couch with us and I slept with my head on her shoulder. I like to curl up on the top of her head and then lay my head on her shoulder. It is comfortable. It was a nice lazy day. The girl came over but she was not feeling well. I am just so thankful that mom came into the shelter a little over a year ago and kept looking to see if I had found a home yet. I was adopted and returned twice before mama got me. I am glad that mama understands that I am a little goofy, but she loves me anyway. She says that I am her baby girl and that she loves me so much. I am so glad that she lets me sleep on the couch and that she gives me good food to eat and takes really good care of me. I miss my previous owner and she is not feeling well so please pray for her that she feels better. I am thankful because I know I did not come from an abusive place but from a home that loved me and had to let me go. Mama says that I am a sweet girl and deserve the best. I also played with the pups. I seem to be a little unsure of them but I do get them to chase me and I seem to like that. I am very interested in what they are up to. My pack is growing and I am happy to be part of it.

Everybeag loves a parade

I was in a parade today. Me and Copper walked with the shelter that mom volunteers for and that mom adopted me from. We had to park far away and walk to the staging area. I saw some of the people who were at the shelter when I was an inmate. ;) They told me I had lost a lot of weight. I saw Bo, Tex, and Brutus from the shelter. We were behind the horses and a chi rolled in horse poop as big as he was. (gasp) There were people all around and they would point and say, "Look at the beagles." We wore our "I did time" t shirts. At the park lots of people asked about our shirts so mom go the chance to tell them about the great dogs at the shelter. Someone asked if I was available and mom said NO. :) I got to eat a hotdog. It was so good. Lots of people wanted to pet me. Copper had to go home early with dad cause she wouldn't walk anymore. After she left, I walked around with mom and saw the petting zoo and I saw other dogs. We had to walk a long way back to the car so I was very tired when I got home. I don't think I have ever walked so much in my life. I came home, got on the couch and slept, slept, slept. All in all it was a great day.

The Vet

I had to go to the vet today. I just went for my shots and my annual exam. I made a pee pee on the floor when they came at me with the thermometer. I do not like that part. My Dr laughed because I was wagging my tail the whole time he was checking me. He said that I was a happy girl. After I was finished mama took me to McDonald's and I got a piece of sausage. All for me. I didn't have to share with anyone. :) Next week me and Copper and Maddy have to go spend the weekend at the vet and we will get baths. Mom says they have to take a trip and they are flying so we don't get to go this time. I also got my nails trimmed so I don't sound like I am tap dancing when I walk now. I am so glad that I don't have to go again for another year. :)

Help......My Ears

My boy brought home this strange looking box. He took this thing out of it and then he put it near his mouth and he blew.....It was awful. I howled, I barked. It seems that my boy is going to be learning the trombone. I hope he learns it fast. Everytime he practices I have to howl along with him. I sit by mom and howl along. Mama told me that I cannot howl for an hour everynight. If the boy can make that sound for an hour, why can't I make a sound for an hour? I guess I will have to get some ear plugs.

Super Fly

Today I chased flies. Now, mama only saw one and after doing a flying dog leap from the couch I ate that one, but that did not stop me from patrolling to make sure they were all gone. Mom took video and she is going to put my fly patrol on my page. Maybe it is my new Underdog outfit that makes me feel that I can eat flies in a single gulp. Trixie Beaglesworth, Fly Catcher.

An open letter to our service men and women

Today is a day set aside to remember our fallen heroes. I would like to take that moment and reflect on the brave men and women who sacrafice their very lives for our great country. You are willing to lay down your very life to protect the freedoms that all to often are taken for granted. You have endured hardship and discomfort while I have had comfort. You have eaten MRE's while I have enjoyed homecooking or a meal from a restuarant. You have slept fitfully while I have slept comfortably in my bed. You have endured unbearable heat while I have just turned the air conditioner up when I get uncomfortable. You wait patiently for packages that will hopefully bring a magazine, a deck of cards, some gum, some special treats, while I run to the grocery store at a moments notice. You have watched your friends die as you, yourself dodged bullets, or bombs that are meant to take your life. You have endured the hateful remarks of people who do not want this war, as though you were the one who decided it should take place. You fought for their right to say that they do not agree with our elected officials without the fear of death for saying it out loud. Your family has sacrificed as well. Not having you home each and every night. Having to remain brave in your absence. I want to say to you on this day for remembering. THANK YOU!. It is not enough yet there are not words to convey the pride I feel when I see one of you in uniform. It is not enought to convey to you the pride I feel when I hear "The Star Spangled Banner" or the sorrow I feel when I hear the sad strains of a trumpet playing taps. I am proud to be an American and I am proud of YOU, the brave warriors who protect our country. The warriors who have paid with their lives, the warriors who are even now on the battle front. The future warriors who, because of you may serve their country with the same determination and pride you serve with today. Because our country has a voluntary enlistment you have made the choice to protect and serve this great country. How can we ever repay your decision? How can we ever thank you enough? What words will be the right ones to let you know how incredibly proud of you I am. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It is not much, but it is all I can say and I will say it to each one of you that I meet in person. I will say it in my actions when I support you. I will say it in my heart when it swells knowing that you are the brave protectors of America!

It's a dog's life

Tonight was a busy night. We went to football practice with our boy. There was a little boy there who hugged us a lot and we found some crackers that some kids had dropped. I wanted to run with my boy so bad when they were doing their exercises. I did get to chase a dog and it was fun. Then mom took us to Wendy's and we got chicken nuggets. Before we went home we went to the bark park. Mom says I am silly. I get out of the car like gang busters but once in the park I tuck tail and hide under the bench. I do like to sniff around so I did that. I don't like big dogs sniffing me though. There was a little beagle puppy there. She was so little. She liked me and Copper. I was so tired when I got home that I put my head in mom's lap and was out. She was petting my head and laughing because she said I was like a little kid trying to keep my eyes open and losing that fight. I am worn out so I am off to bed. Night all.

Annifursery

Yesterday was my annifursery. I was adopted one year ago. Last year I was my Mama's Mother's Day Gift and she said I am the best Mother's Day Gift she ever got. When dad asked her what she would like she hugged me and told him there was no way he would top last year. I am VERY comfortable in my home. Mom got me a tshirt that says Too Cute. She says when we slow down she is going to update my pictures with me wearing it. :) My girl is coming over to spend the night later. I am gonna be all excited. I love when she comes to visit me. :)

Time to Bark in the Park

Tonight my boy had basketball practice so I got to go to the park. I went on a walk and then I rolled in 3 smelly spots. Mom says I am really stinky but I think I am smelling really good. I just hope I don't have to take a bath since she is the one who can turn on the water and stick me in it. I wanted to go have the boys pet me. I did meet a beagle named Daisy and a pug named Stanley. They were nice. I didn't try to eat them. I saw some other dogs and I wanted to get them. I got to have some snausages. I know how to sit and shake hands really well. Sometimes mom thinks it is funny because when I want a treat I will tap her on the shoulder. She says it doesn't count if she hasn't asked me to shake. I think it should. I think it means that I am so smart that I do not have to wait for her to ask me. I want a treat so I will do the trick, now give me a treat. BOL. Mom says the Easter Bunny is coming soon. I wonder if she will let me chase him. Hmmmm? Probably not but it is nice to think about. :)
