Turkey day, come and gone...but what? I missed Miss Sunshade's Birfday????

I did the most horrific thing. I didn't even know that I had done it until today when I looked at Miss Sunshade's blog. I missed her birfday. Can you believe it? I can't! My girl, My SuperDale! She turned 7 and I missed it! Urgh. I feel awful. I feel lower than a snakes belly! Miss Sunshade, I beg your forgiveness! Mom wouldn't let me anywhere near my laptop all weekend. With Turkey day we had lots of guests. Mom said I had to stay focused on who was already at my house rather than to surf the net. She clearly doesn't understand what a responsibility I have to my blogger friends. Sheez.

We did have a nice turkey day though. My grandma and grandpa from both sides came to visit, as did my favorite person, Aunt Michelle. We had a houseful and it was fun! (all except Ollie's incessant barking that nearly made mom and grandma through a certifiable grand mal fit!).

Then mom and dad were home with us for a few days afterward. It was wonderful! I didn't know that you got presents for Turkey Day, but Mom got me this nice new Alpine sweater....don't I just look like quite the stud? (hehehehe!)

I hope all my doggie pals and their families had a wonderful holiday too!

Miss Sunshade. What a girl! Ahhhh!

I'm in love!

Yesterday was my birthday. I am now 6 years old. I have yet to convince my mommy that that means I am old enough to hop a plane for Vancover where my honey is- that's right, the one and only Miss Sunshade!

As I said, yesterday was my birthday. It was a good day, (except for the part when grandma brought home bag full of toys and I got into them and she told me I couldn't have them because it wasn't Christmas- hey!) It WAS my birthday afterall. Can't a guy catch a break around here.

Anyway, when I got home mom and dad had gotten me a nice toy (I've included a video of me playing with it). It is a little blue mouse and it squeals- not the normal sound, but it really squeals. That was pretty good and so was the special dinner and yogurt I got. BUT, nothing compared to what I got in the mail. I got a love card from Miss Sunshade. It even had her beautiful paw print on it and a kiss inside. There was also a beautiful tag for me. How sweet! How totally awesome! I swear, I think she loves me too! I could even smell your heavenly scent al over the card! How wonderful! Miss Sunshade, if you are reading this, you are just the greatest!

NOW THAT'S A HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

What a weekend!

What a weekend! Ollie and I had a great, but exhausting weekend. On Friday, Mom and Dad took off and we went to Pennsylvania to Bedford, where my mommies grandmother is from to do some Antiquing and stuff. We got to take my grandma and grandpa too. Ollie rode in the way back of the van and I sat on mom’s lap almost all the way. I got to see all kinds of things like horses and cows and lots of big trucks and some earth moving equipment on trailers. (I hate earth moving equipment!) From there, we went to Altoona and saw some huge trucks moving right behind each other on rails. Dad said those things were called trains. I didn’t like them very much since they were so loud and moved funny. After that we made the trip home. It was about 5 hours each way and I sat on mom’s lap the whole time. Mom said I gave her a headache since I’m not a very good traveler. I take offense to that! Just since I whine a lot and pace a lot and cry bloody murder if they put me in my seatbelt doesn’t mean that I’m a bad traveler. Sheezz!

Then on Saturday, Mom and Dad took us for a nice walk in town and there were lots of people around. Mom said it was because there was a festival there called the Waterfowl Festival. I don’t know what Waterfowl are or why they are celebrating them, but I thought they had a pretty day to do it! It was warm! Mom and Dad stayed home with us most of the day working in the garage so I got to chase plenty of squirrels and stay outside a lot which I love.

Then on Sunday we got back in the car and went to see my other grandma and grandpa on the farm. I love it there, but there are a lot of smells that scare me. Anyway, when I got there my Uncle LJ and Aunt Amy were there too and guess who? The baby! I love babies! I wanted to get a good peek at him, but my Uncle LJ said “no”. He somehow thinks I would hurt the baby! I would never do that, but that’s okay. He is the daddy, so it’s his job to protect him. We got to romp outside and run a bit before getting back in the car to head home.

Wow! What a weekend! I’m totally exhausted so I stayed home today instead of going to grandma and grandpa’s with Ollie and Dad this morning. Just give me my bed and my new toys and I’ll dream of next Monday when my birthday comes and I’m bound to get all the new toys I want! Hehehehehe!

The ony thing cuter than I am

On Wednesday morning I left with Dad and said good-bye to mom on the porch, just as usual. Only thing was that when I got home, mom wasn't home yet. I waited and waited and she just didn't come home. All night, no mom. The next morning I left with Dad again and came home and still no mom. I was getting worried. What could possibly have happened to my mommy? I knew she wouldn't have gone anywhere without me. Then finally late last night, mommy came home. Do you know where she was? Apparently my Uncle LJ and Aunt Amy had a baby! Mom says its the only baby in the family and the first one in 28 years. Mom says he is a little boy and she loved him as much as she loves me! Can you imagine? Well, I can. I really love little kids and I can't wait to meet my new cousin. Anyway, here is a picture of my new cousin. Isn't he the only thing you've ever seen that is more adorable than a WFT puppy? Okay, at least AS adorable as a WFT puppy? So, welcome to the family little fella! I hope you will be ready to roughhouse with me soon!
