It's My Birthday!

July 25 /08

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME !

Today is my birthday. I am two years old.

Here are a couple of puppy pictures of me. This is what I looked like before you knew me. Unfortunately, we don't have any pictures of me before the age of four months when my family took me home.

My friend, Zoe, sent me a cute card and she drew me a picture. I love them. Thanks, Zo. See ya later on our walk.

I got this really nice e-card from my buddies Rambo and Molly. Thanks so much.

Happy Birthday Chef!
Have a fun day.

Love, Rambo & Midget Molly


This beautiful card is from Rocky, Bear and Angel LacyLulu. That was so thoughtful. Thank you.

My cousins, Bailey and Oreo, sent me this e-card. Thanks, cuzzies.

HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY!
Dear Chef, Happy Birthday.
My birthday (Bailey) is coming up too! I will be one year old. Oreo is almost six months old. I hope we can get together soon.
BAILEY AND OREO

This beautiful card just arrived from Butchy & Snickers. I am so touched. Thank you very much, my sweet friends.

(Snickers, I hope you are feeling better.~Kisses xox~)

Papa made his monthly office BBQ today and I was the guest of honour.

On the way over, Mama picked up some balloons and a silly party hat that I wore for all of l0 seconds .......plus I broke about five of the balloons - what fun !! No, the balloon weight is not stuck to my back. Mama just needs to learn how to set up a shot ...... and not amputate my paw ...... I had my cock-eyed face on. I get like that when I'm very hot or excited, and I was both. It was zillions of degrees today, plus everybody's attention was on me and it made me a little shy and confused.

What the heck happened to my posture?? It just went shloooooop.

For my birthday, I had my first ever popsicle licks.

A little hesitant at first. Then ...

OH YEAH !

When we got home, I had these treats waiting for me.

Sulk. I wasn't allowed to eat them all at once... can you imagine?
Mama bought the picture frame on the left. It's got a Boxer on it and she's going to put my picture in it.

I also got a moose stuffy and a carrot tuggy. Which one do you think will last longer?

And the piece de resistance: Lamb ribs! After supper, Mama filled my bowl with leftovers. I had to chew on them outside - supervised. Oh, I hardly noticed because I was enjoying them so much.

So I had a truly great birthday.

Thanks for all your good wishes and cards - and for 2 more Premio awards, one from Mindy Lu and another from Gucci. It helped make my birthday the best ever.

This is my horoscope from Pet Horoscopes, annotated by me:

Leo Dogs
by Anna Lynn Sibal

There are two interesting facets to a Leo dog’s personality. One such facet is that of the king. As a creature born under the sign of the Lion, the Leo dog is a born leader, the king of dogs. He carries himself with pride among other dogs, and most dogs seem to defer to him. If there is ever a dog who is considered the leader of the pack, the Alpha dog, that one is none other than the Leo dog.

Wow.. really?

The Leo dog is a very brave and intelligent dog. He makes for an excellent candidate to the K-9 unit of any police force. He will not hesitate to put himself in harm’s way if it meant saving the life of his handler or owner, or of any person whom he senses needed saving.

That depends............

The other fascinating facet of the Leo dog’s personality is that of the clown. Yes, this serious pooch can be funny. He has an innate sense of mischief that is quite entertaining if it does not get him into trouble. The Leo dog loves to show off and can be a hilarious comedian if he is allowed to play his tricks. He can be a very enthusiastic performer if his mind is up to it.

This is true.

Being the king and the Alpha, the Leo dog, with his regal bearing, can be pompously vain, strutting about in the presence of other dogs. He is a handsome dog; he knows it and he will flaunt it.

See shows.

That is, he will flaunt his stuff if there are no cats in the immediate vicinity. The Leo dog hates cats with a vengeance. Except for Beauty and Rugrat. He will bark his throat sore at a feline or a bee or a crow and chase it around the neighborhood.

Another entity that the Leo dog hates is the vet. The Leo dog strongly believes that he has a perfect physique and is infallible. Visits to the vet shatter this belief and he would love it very much to get away from the place as soon as he can. He can try the patience of even the most saintly of vets with his agonizing howling in the clinic.

Who told?

This year is the year of love for the Leo dog. (ASTA !!) The handsome Leo dog has no lack of admirers, but this would seem more obvious this year. The girl-dogs know just who is the boss and would do everything they can to capture his attention.

Whoa baby !

I Wanna be the Teacher's Pet

I like being a teenage dog...... I have felt the first stirrings of l o-o-o-o-v e. At Snicker's birthday party last week, Asta was teaching us boydogs how to flirt. All I wanted to do was flirt with YYAstaYY. Wow, she is a looker ...... I think I'm falling in love for the very first time.

(Don't tell a soul.)
