Happy Birthday to ME

O boy O boy O boy O boy,

My very 1st Birthday is March 15,2008. I cannot wait, I want cake , icecream, hotdogs, pigears, toys, my very own swimming pool too! I'm trying to be a good girl, really I am. I'm an 80lb sack of mess my mom says!! I know Easter is this month too, maybe I'll get an Easter Basket. Mom says usually there are spring flowers all in the yard, but apparently I've prevented that growth! I'll try to make it up to her by giving her LOTS OF KISSES, I know she'll like that. I outgrew my collar so maybe I'll get a colorful one for my party too???

~A letter to Santa Paws

Dear Santa Paws,

My name is Maddie and I'm 8months old! I live in Stockton,CA & this is my very first Christmas. Mommy said I should write down the things I want real bad. So here it goes,

1. My very own potted plant and pot that I can chew without getting into trouble.

2. My very own flower bed that I can dig to China in.

3. I'd love to have a cat that I can chase without painful consequences.

4. I want my own waterbed like Mommy & Daddy has that I can sleep on all night without being made to sleep on my pallet.

5. I also want a jar of peanut butter, 4 chickens (fresh is possible), some beef bones, and defenitely a very large bag of pedigree that I can have free-range of.

In my stocking Santa Paws, pahhleeaasee...I'd like to have it filled with treats and pigears too. I hope I have'nt asked for too much. I've been a very good girl. I have learned to sit, to speak, to go pee outside, to sleep on my pallet and to wait my turn. I've also quit jumping on everyone and walk like a normal puppy. All this is 6 weeks! I'm very smart my mommy says. So I'll leave you some cookies & milk on December 24th!! SO excited!! WOOF


Love always, Baby Maddie.

~A Bit Confused...

Well I've been living at mommys new house for a few weeks now. In this time shes taught me so much, how to sit is one that puts a smile on her face, and mine too because I get treats. My confusion comes from when mommy was cooking tonite, some chicken, it started smelling really, really good. So I used my BIG GIRL bark and got her attention and sat so pretty. She just smiled at me..so I decided to bark loudly again, and I sat my hind end down really hard and looked at her trying to tell her I was ready for the chicken, but she never gave it to me? I don't know quite what I'm doing wrong, but I sat so nicely??? Mommy got this grin on her face and gave me a sweet petting but I wanted that food..hmmm..I'll try again tomorrow.!!!

Barking Barking Barking..

Tonite I was outside by myself, and I looked out the fence and seen a huge MONSTER. I started barking and screaming at it hoping to frighten it away, but I wouldn't budge! I was almost pissin' down my leg..I started getting louder and louder and ALL my hair on my back stood straight up. Well my mommy got real worried about me and came to look...and she started laughing very hard,...slapping her leg, and I didnt think it was funny having a MONSTER near the yard..I heard her telling daddy that all I was barking at is an old stuffed animal, big red clifford dog. haaaa scary scary stuff.. BOL

~Puppies (thanx momma)

This morning, I woke up & kissed my dad's head.
I peed on the carpet, then went back to bed.
"The life of a puppy, oh my, this is great."
Then I thought about breakfast, "I hope it's not
to late."

Mom took me outside, we walked for a while.
This never fails to make Mamma smile.
I sniffed of everything, that we did pass,
I ate something weird-it gave me gas.

I'm sure God loves me, I know this is true.
He gave me so many great things to chew.
Rugs, plants or rocks, I really don't care.
What I truly like best is Dad's underwear.

That obedience book, was sort of yummy.
Though it didn't sit well on my poor puppy tummy.
I threw up a bit, but that was all right.
When Mom found it later, I was well out of sight.

I made streamers of T.P., while I was running at
full speed.
Mom is pretty quick--but I was still in the lead.
I flew under the bed, and Mom flew past,
She stopped--shook her head, and breathed, "You're
to fast."
Mamma later phoned Daddy, and said "It was
frightening!"
That afternoon, she was sure I'd pooped lightning.
She'd sat at the computer, while I chewed the
cord,
She thought I was mad, but I was just bored.

When Mamma had enough, couldn't take anymore,
That's when my tushy got shoved out the door.
I love it outside, but outside is the best.
Lay in the cool grass, and had a good rest.
That didn't last long, there was too much to do--
Can't quite remember where I hid Daddy's shoe.
I found an old bone, and scratched at a flea,
I watched the dumb squirrels as they jumped in a
tree.

I barked at the kids, when they got off the bus.
I can't figure out why this make Mamma fuss.
I barked at the neighbor, I barked at the wind.
I barked and barked, till Mom yelled "COME IN."

The sun dipped in the west-soon Daddy would come
home!
I sure love my daddy: we always have fun.
I barked at my daddy, then turned on my charms,
I woo-wooed, "Hello," then jumped in his arms.

Sitting under the table--it's sooo hard to wait.
Daddy slipped me a goodie right off his plate.
I raced through the house, and scattered my toys,
Ricocheted off the furniture, and made lots of
noise.

Mom found her purse--the one I abused.
Daddy let loose a chuckle. Mom asked "Amused??"
I cowered down low, I must be in trouble.
Dad said, "Wasn't MY boy, it must be his double!"

Mom turned off the TV, and said, "Time for bed."
Dad said "Let's go boy," and patted my head.
I got in my spot, between Mom and Dad,
I thought 'bout my day and what fun I had.

Mamma kicked out my bone from the covers below,
Then let lose a sigh--a sigh deep and low.
She gave me a kiss, and snuggled me tight,
And whispered so softly, "My darling goodnight'.
