The Spoiled Life of Keno Byrd

Saturday Night Dinner

Mommy told me Aunt Pam, Uncle Jimmy, my biological mommy "Puddin", daddy "Jake" and sister "Peaches" were coming over for dinner. I so look forward to them coming over. Mommy cooked us chicken breast and string beans. When they got here, we ran around the house, played and went outside to terrorize the squirrels. Mommy said that the squirrels will probably stay away for a while after we've been out there. Mommy fed me before they got here because I do get very excited and it's hard to eat, (I'm afraid they will eat up my food!) They were served some of my chicken and beans, but they insisted on eating out of Mommy and Aunt Pam's hands. I partaked too, even after eating earlier. Uncle Jimmy even gave me a piece of his steak, mmmmm good. They stayed for a while after dinner, we all layed around on my many beds and rested. On Sunday boy was I tired, I am not used to all that activity, (I'm an only child you know.) Mommy and Daddy kept saying I was acting out on Sunday afternoon, they even said I must be going through the terrible twos again, I was like getting my second wind after lunch. I don't know what got into me. I started winding down after supper, (after I got my belly full), layed on Daddy's back, he lays in the floor on his stomach and watches tv, its so comfortable there, I nearly went to sleep.
We went to bed around 9 p.m.

Dec. 10th

I stayed with Aunt Pam and Uncle Jimmy Saturday night. I am always excited to go out there. My biological mommy, daddy and sister greeted me at the door. We ran around and played, I checked things out and then low and behold I saw the community plate on the floor. It had chicken and noodles on it, all my favorites. Well, I just headed for that plate and started digging in. Mommy said, "Keno stop that you just ate at home!" I couldn't help myself, I was eating too fast and started to cough, so Aunt Pam picked up the plate and put it on the table. I think Mommy gets embarassed, she believes people think I don't eat at home, but I do. I just like eating!!!

Friday November 30th:

Mommy could tell I wasn't feeling good, she knows every time. She saw my runny eyes, saw me licking my nose alot and felt that I was a little warm, so she called Somerset Animal Hospital.

Dr. Jim saw me that afternoon. I had a fever of 103 degrees and he said I had a sore throat. He was right. He gave me a shot, and some antibiotics to take home. He gave mommy all the instructions to get me feeling better again. Dr. Jim asked mommy if I still had an appetite, she just laughed and laughed because you know there isn't much that will take my appetite away. Mommy told him that she is sure I have allergies. He said mommy knows when her baby doesn't feel good.

Saturday December 1st:

My biological mommy, daddy and sister came over with Aunt Pam and Uncle Jimmy for dinner. I am always happy to see them. I was feeling alot better enough to play. Daddy Jake got the squirts and Aunt Pam and mommy put him in the sink to get cleaned up. Uncle Jimmy said it embarasses Jake when he does that. You know what I am just like my daddy Jake. The call us big me and little me because when we sit in front of the door to look out, our heads always move in unison. Well they have left, and I am a little tired, I think I will go to sleep. Talk to you later.
