October 28th was my Gotcha Day, and I want to thank all of my friends who sent me paw mail, and gave me gifts for this special occasion. Mom says it is definitely a day to remember. Mom, Grandma and Auntie came to see me on that crisp Saturday morning of October 28, 2006. I was being kept in the bathroom at the time and snuggled right up to mom's chest when placed in her arms. I know it was love at first sight. My owners, at the time, was trying to get mom to buy my little black pug sister, but mom only had eyes for me. I was placed in Auntie's arms, while mom went to pay for me and to collect my papers, and I snuggled up under Auntie's jacket. Our first stop was the vet's office, where I was weighed, and was told when to come back for my next shots. Then we went to Wal-Mart, and while Grandma held me, mom went in and bought me so many new things!! Mom had to work that first afternoon I came to my furever home, but Auntie and Grandma took very good care of me. I am still loving my furever home five years later, and only have eyes for my family. I am so glad that mom choose me, and I know I will always be loved furever!!
I big thank you to all of my friends who sent me Birthday rosettes, paw mail, Birthday wishes and comments!! I have the best set of friends ever!!
I did have a Great Birthday and got a lot of nice gifts. I got a lot of doggie snacks too. Auntie says I am hard to buy for as all I do is sleep and eat snacks. I am not a big food eater though and mom and Auntie still feed me with a fork. Having a cat in the room to make me jealous is a must too. I love barking and last night when the raccoons came to eat from the cat bowl in the back yard, I barked and scratched at the back sliding glass door. Now, I am limping on my front leg. As you may remember, I have always had bad back legs and have been favoring my back leg all week. Now it is my front leg. :-( Now, mom says I may not be able to go on vacation with her and Grandma. They are leaving the day after Labor Day to visit relatives in Indiana, and now there is a chance I may not be able to go. I will have to stay home with Auntie and Petey. This is going to break my heart and mom's, but mom says she is scared that I am really going to get hurt. Most of the trip will be in the car, and Jinx, my Pug Cousin, is so much bigger than I am. Mom says I have to be at least 95% better before Monday night, or no road trip for me. I hope I am better.
Thanks again everyone for my Birthday gifts and wishes. You are the best!!
Officially my birthday is August 30th, but we celebrated yesterday. Grandma made turkey for lunch and mom made her famous meat balls. We went to Iola and I got an ice cream cone at McDonald's. We came home and I got to open all of my gifts. I got so many presents!! A picture is included in my photo album. I got a cake with my picture on it, and ice cream. I had a great time. Not bad for turning 5, huh?!
A very special thank you to my Hawaii friends, Tammy, Peanut and Lovey, for the birthday gift you sent in the mail. I love Hawaii doggie treats, and mom loved the Pug magnet to put on her car. You guys are terrific!! Thank you so much!!
