Thank you for forgetting my BIRTHDAY!

Mom and dad just realized they forgot my birthday! Pphhht! I did everything I could to remind them but they simply FORGOT. I do expect some kissing up this weekend. p.s. kissing up includes steak and frosty paws:-)

You know what you need?

If you want someone who will eat whatever you put in front of him and never say its not quite as good as his mother's......then adopt a dog.

If you want someone always willing to go out, at any hour,
For as long and wherever you want .....then adopt a dog.

If you want someone who will never touch the remote, doesn't care about football, and can sit next to you as you watch romantic movies.....then adopt a dog.

If you want someone who is content to get on your bed just to
Warm your feet and whom you can push off if he snores....then adopt a dog !

If you want someone who never criticizes what you do, doesn't care if you are pretty or ugly, fat or thin, young or old, who acts as if every word you say is especially worthy of listening to, and loves you unconditionally, perpetually.....then adopt a dog.

BUT, on the other hand, if you want someone who will never come when you call, ignores you totally when you come home, leaves hair all over the place, walks all over you, runs around all night and only comes home to eat and sleep, and acts as if your entire existence is solely to ensure his happiness....then adopt a cat!

I AM A DOG AFTER ALL!

Mom got so mad at me this morning and I am – at this very moment – still confused.

I realize I am beautiful and have long golden locks with big brown eyes and the figure most girls would die for…but, I AM A DOG!

Mom let us out this morning and I was super excited to find a mud puddle to roll in. Sure she thinks it was nasty and an inconvenience insofar as she was ready to walk out the door for work but I must keep reminding her to refer to the aforementioned reference line. Nuff said.

Dirty Dogs Unite!

bad mommy!

Mommy is a stickler for saving money. She has some big plan to save enough money (if she doesn't win the lottery first) to purchase a huge portion of land & save all the animals she can. Daddy thinks the idea is sweet but is certain he can't simply meet a dog and then part with it (adoption, etc.) so he told mommy if someone wants to adopt one of the dogs on our futuristic animal rescue spot he will charge them an adoption of $1,000,000,000,000 so he would definitely not have to suffer any sadness when one moves on. Smart isn't he??

Anyway, I love mommy for being the money saver she is but I draw the line at buying me a different food JUST BECAUSE SHE HAD A COUPON. I have very sensitive skin for which I take medicine and have to go to the vet for special shots every couple of months. She is aware that I can't have "colorful" foods as that causes my skin to itch like crazy but she saw the words "lamb & rice" on the bag and A-S-S-U-M-E-D that would be fine.


Thanks mom! I hope I'm not bothering you too much when I am itching at ALL HOURS OF THE NIGHT. GEEZ.

Luckily I think she learned her lesson. As for me, back to the vet again this weekend! :(

Fleas are like a computer virus!

They make you take all of these expensive, uncomfortable cautionary actions to aviod the inevitable. Problem is, how do you know it is the inevitable if you are always avoiding it? I really hate getting that stuff put on my neck once a month! It makes my beautiful golden locks look greasy and not to mention mommy & daddy avoid petting me for days! I say we protest. Send those little boogers to a remote location where they can live happily ever after thus we can do so as well. Are you with me?

Busted...

...mom caught me running through the back yard this morning so I think the whole "limping" thing may have to stop. I will try again tonight in hopes she won't tell dad. We'll see.

Hurt paw = lot of love and attention!

As the entire family is aware, I love to run. Tina and I chase each other all over the back yard for hours on end and never tire...ok, yes we do. Anyway, yesterday I was running from the far end of the yard to see mommy on the back porch when I ran over one of "Tina's holes" in the yard. It was pretty painful and I started limping immediately afterward. Initially I was rather upset at Tina about this because it was her fault for digging all of these "unnecessary" holes in the yard but all of a sudden I realized how great this was! Mommy and daddy started giving me all kinds of extra love and attention! I was being carried from one spot to another like a baby. AWESOME! Even when it was time for everyone to go to sleep I was allowed to stay on the human bed! I hate to say it but I kinda like the hurt paw. Hope it doesn't heal too soon. Does that make me bad or just needy?

Too cool...

"Don't let your cool stand in the way of being soulful. Life is too short. Too short to hate. Too short to judge. Too short not to live for. Don't let anything or anyone get the best of you or your heart and mind. If you are going down... go down swinging, singing, loving and cuddling!
