"Opening my gift from my Doghouse Secret Santa, which was Teddy! (Mom tricked me and lured me with the smell of the treats to get this picture. Mean!)"
Yesterday was my Gotcha Day/Birthday! Can you believe it has been five years since I adopted my mom. Time sure does fly! Mom tells me that I am now 10 human years old. I don't understand the way humans tell time, but I think I do not look a day over 7. I am doing furry good. I suppose I am starting to feel my age a tiny bit, I do have a bit of arthritis but I take a supplement for that. And I do have a hard time hearing mom sometimes, but she thinks I am selectively hearing. BOL!
I hardly remember my old life. I had no idea then that you could adopt a human of your own and they would love and take care of you. I can't believe what I was missing! These are my favorite things about human adoption:
1) I always have food in my bowl, and treats in my jar.
2) My mom always knows what to do when I am not feeling well. She takes good care of me, and in return, when she is home sick from work, I do my duty and sleep next to her all day.
3) I have my very own queen sized bed, that I let mom sleep in.
4) Cuddle time in the morning. Besides when mom comes home from work, this is my favorite time of day. After mom gets all ready for work, she sits on the couch and I jump up next to her. Then I rub my head and body all over her clothes and get cuddles and pets and kisses. Then I roll over for belly rubs. This is the best!
I am so glad I adopted mom. I wish for everyfur to know love like I do now.
I miss you all so much! Just wanted to pop in and say hi and how are you. Life is good for me and I hope it is for everyfur. The only thing going on for me is that I am coughing just a bit more which I am sure is because it has gotten hotter here. The good thing about this is that now I get tasty honey a couple of times per day for my throat. Also now mom carries me up and down the stairs like the princess that I am. She does not want me exerting myself whatever that means.
Yesterday morning I had some excitement. Mom and I went outside for my morning business and a giant raccoon went running from the yard into the woods. OMD he was big. Bigger than me!! It was scary. But that is life in the country I guess.
I miss hanging out on Dogster and I hope all my friends are doing well.
Hello to all my pals! Today is my 4th Gotcha Day with mom! I can't believe how the time flies. I am so happy that I adopted mom. She is really coming along with her training. I am very close to completely ruling the household!
I am so lucky to have a happy and loving home. In my younger days, I didn't even know this was possible. Now I am so comfy and warm and full of good food all the time.
I want to thank my pals for remembering me today. I have made such great friends here at Dogster and I love you all.
