What I am thankful for ....

Thanksgiving is over ....... I know ..... but it is always good to be thankful

and I am in a thankful mood tonight

so tonight I will share with you what I am thankful for:

1. I am thankful for my Mom. Even though I love my Dad very much, my Mom is the love of my life because she .... well she is just my favorite person. I am always by her side ... if she is home. She also helps me blog.

2. I am thankful for Hershey, my best buddy in the whole world, and that we get to see each other occassionally. I am also thankful that he doesn't hump me quite as much as he used to.

3. I am thankful for soft beds and carpeted floors, pillows and blankets. I hate hard floors.

4. I am thankful for hollow bones stuffed with treats, my favorite recipe.

5. I am thankful for short sniffy walks. I got to go one one last night! Yea!

6. I am thankful for rides in the car. It doesn't matter when we go, I just like to go.

7. I am thankful for my grassy fenced yard and that Mom FINALLY raked up the leaves in my grassy fenced yard.

8. I am thankful that my peepol take good care of me and buy me good dogfood and medicine and buy me toys.

9. I am thankful for my friend and Doctor - Miss Cindy.

10. And last, but not least, I am thankful for all my dog friends and Dogs With Blogs. My Mom and I are soooooooo enjoying getting cards in the mail each day. Today we got one from Bogart, Holly, Freda, and Boo.

A Belated Happy Thanksgiving Everydog

Pleeaasse take this off me ....

That's what this dog is saying. Don't you agree?

How embarrasing!

Cats are spys ....

Now that Hershey and Nixon have gone home, I want to share with you the only picture we got of Nixon the whole time he was here visiting us. I told you he was a spy ..... and here is the proof. He stopped his spying at things outdoors to spy on my Mom's knitting! See the knitting needles in the picture? I bet he is trying to figure out what she is making for Christmas ... if she ever gets to finish it that is. You cannot see it in this picture but he has a new collar .. indicating that he has switched spy organiazations. Whatever organization he is now with, does not require him to rendevous with anyone here at the house because he did not try to escape this time.

I got three more cards today from my dog friends. It is fun to get mail. I get more Christmas cards than my Mom! I am going to save all the cards and send them to Hershey so he can see them. Have you noticed how fun it is to see the stamps from the other countries? I am glad I have friends.

To those of you who have followed my life in my new kennel/prison ..... I have done REALLY well. I have not tinkled in it yet! My Mom is really curious to know if I lay down in it without soft blankets and take a nap and so today she tried to sneak inside to see me in it before I could hear her. It didn't work. I had three hard bones and one soft stuffed toy in there with me today and the stuffed toy was still in one piece when Mom got home. As soon as she lets me outside, I go poddy and want to come right back inside where I go right to the kennel/prison and get all the toys out one at a time and take them in the dining room and play with them. Mom think that I should be bored with them after being with them all day, so she thinks that is wierd. Maybe I am taking a nap after all.

Have you noticed there is no Cats With Blogs organization?

Our Christmas Cards are READY!!!

Hershey and I worked on our Christmas cards today and they are ready to go. We sure are glad they are done because we are starting to get cards in the mail already (and Mom needs to get the house decorated for Christmas.) We got one from Cubby and Butchy and Snickers today. We are amazed at how clever and talented dogs and their people are.



Here we are giving them our final inspection and counting them to make sure we got them all. Yeah, there's the one to Fu Fu. We were surprised at how many there are to Singapore. We sent one to the Army of Four anyway and we even figured out Ivy's address ... we hope it's her address anyway (the internet is amazing).... and sent her one.



We hand addressed them ... just to be different. Hershey is showing you here that he used a red pen to address his. I used a green one.



We sure hope you like them. Hershey and I worked together on the design. They will come to my house but I will forward them on to Hershey. Hershey goes home tomorrow. I will miss him. I will not miss Nixon because ... well.... we hardly ever saw him all weekend. He stayed hidden and never tried to escape.

guest blog from Hershey!

hey, this is hershey, we decided to guest blog on each other's blog! yesterday my mom and dad had to go have thanksgiving at my dad's mom's house.
