Annual Visit to the Vet's

Well, I didn't particularly like the 23rd very much. I had to go to the vet's office for my annual shots. I do behave myself but I don't like getting shots. You'll be happy to know he said I was in great health. He said I was too skinny when my family first adopted me but that I have gotten up to my proper weight. I do have a good family that takes good care of me. I'm lucky to have them. Or are they lucky to have me? Hmmm. I'll have to think that one over.

At least we got to go to the park before going to the vet's. It was fun sniffing around for a while. After the vet's, we went to a city office to get my license renewed. I got to meet a lady that used to live in our neighborhood before I was adopted. She loved me. She said I looked a lot like my predecessor, Hobbes. I'll take that as a compliment as I've heard that Hobbes was beautiful. I also got to meet a few firemen while we were getting my license. They all petted me and said I was beautiful (with some prompting from grandma).

The 24th-26th were pretty hot days so we didn't do too much. We went for our walks early before it got too hot. I don't like the heat much. As you know, I wear a fur coat. I know wearing fur is politically incorrect but I really have no choice! You wouldn't want to see a naked dog running around, would you? Just think of those Mexican Hairless dogs and you will know how bad that can be!

Warning! Ugly picture below.

Mexican hairless. Need I say more?

Birthday Celebration Photos

Sorry I didn't put my birthday pictures up yesterday. I was recuperating from my party. I'd like to say thank you to all my friends. When I went for a walk the evening of my birthday, all of them were outside to say hi! Every last one of them!!! Wasn't that sweet of them? I have such good friends. Okay, on to the pictures.

Here's my birthday cupcake. It's a miniature cupcake.
It's adorable. And as we say in my family, it's Mia-sized!!

Here I am checking out all the presents my family gave me.
Can you believe I got so many presents?

Here are some homemade dog biscuits that grandma made for me. They are made with yummy pumpkin. I believe if you look back on my blog entries, you will find the recipe. Please make them for your dogs. They will love them! Can you tell that they are mostly in dog biscuit shapes? There are also some hearts and candy canes. Not sure where the candy canes come in but I don't really care... they all taste yummy!!

This is a non-stuffed toy. Remember I got a non-stuffed raccoon a few months ago? Well, now I have a non-stuffed fox. I love to toss these around (but mostly when my family isn't looking).

This is the box that my new ball came in. I was just checking to see if there was anything else in the box. You can see the ball behind the box. It's very colorful and bounces high.

Here are two pictures of my favorite present. My new blankey. In the first picture you can see me putting my own scent on it. In the second picture you can see how huge it is! It's so nice and soft and big. I love it! I will mention that I did get a new dog bed for my birthday but since I didn't seem too interested in it, grandma is going to return it. I really am happy with my old bed. Old! It's only a year old!!!

Happy Birthday To Me!!!

Well, if you haven't done your shopping, you're officially out of time! Shame on you! Lucky for you though I do accept late birthday presents.

Unfortunately mom had to work today but she did say she would leave work early so we could start my party early. And she's taking tomorrow off so we have a 4 day weekend together.

I can't wait for the party to begin and to see what my family is giving me. Yeah! Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me...
