It's a rough life

Good help is hard to find... So I'm keeping mine!

Let me just say, I'm pretty well adjusted to my palace. My fur challenged pet servants don't know how to speak properly but they really are so cute with those goofy looks on their face and baby talk like "woof". I mean HELLO! They look a little old for that. Can't blame them though because it's obvious they weren't trained young enough.

I do have to say that they seem to be doing pretty well in the gourmet dinner department. Every other week they make a new batch of turkey and rice for me. It's so easy because I've watched and learned how they do it... You take one pound ground turkey and brown it in a non stick pan. Don't use any oils, salt, garlic powder, onion, or any thing else. Take carrots and chop them up real fine and add them with a little bit of parsley and a pinch of basil and cook some more. At this point, I see them add low sodium beef broth (about two tablespoons) and stir it around like crazy. They let it cool and add about two cups cooked rice and store half in the fridge for the week and the other in the freezer for the following week. Every morning I get a little of that with a little can food (the good stuff!), mixed with some good crunchy dry stuff topped with a splash of low sodium broth. They throw this into the microwave and voila`, breakfast and dinner!

I know that I filled out my personality but I want to come clean before they figure out how to use this internet thing and post lies about me. I am very energetic but can't resist a good nap in the sun. I'm very calm... unless they are sitting down to eat, then I get my bobble head going with a case of the shivers in hopes that they will drop food over concern for my pretend epileptic fit. I think I need to add more tongue because that's not working. I stated that I'm affectionate which I am (I can lick three layers of wallpapaer off in one sitting) but usually at some part of the day, I black out and wake up with my fur pets babbling something about "Mad Dog"... Beats me, I think it's too much coffee on their part. I'm not lying about the genius part because some things just are the way they are. As far as playful goes, I have three modes, playful, sleeping, eating. Please set your watches accordingly. My favorite games are "mole"ing where I burrow as far as I can go under the covers. I also live for diving. Sometimes it's carpet diving, couch diving, grass diving, bed diving, pillow diving... let's face it if it's diving, I am ready for the Olympics! Sometimes as a treat for my pets, I'll lay on my side and push myself around in a circle with my back legs. It's not lady like, but it cracks them up and it's good PR to throw them a bone every now and then.

So, life is going pretty well here. I take it one day at a time and just continue to shower my pets with patience evry day. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar!
