Dogs On Thursday: Royal 'Hine'ness Honor!

Last week Dad and my best buddy went off for a night - without me.....and upon their return they brought back, in my royal canine opinion, the most beautiful concrete adornment in my honor! Their excitement over such a find could hardly be contained as they gleefully revealed it to my mom outside the front door. I could tell she was just thrilled as well, as she instructed them to put it to the side and not in the island near the small angel. I was particularly impressed with the details and immediately proceeded with the official canine 'handshake'. Dad gave him a pet, which I must admit, did not please me that much. There was talk of getting a second for each side of the entrance......mom said it 'was her dream'. What does sarcasm mean?

Yesterday was rainy and the ground was wet and mushy. This, I do not like and it is all I can do to take care of business and get back into my abode. Though I enjoy the fragrances of the outer world, falling water doesn't agree with me.

I've managed to enjoy myself this week even though I have missed my best buddy. Being a curious fellow, I have overheard talk of a trip to see BigBoy on Saturday......that should be an experience. I hope I get my own bed.....should be a 'king' size.

Frankly, I'm exhausted now. Wishing all my canine peers out there abundant odors, especially Snuffles and Annie!
Love,
Apollo, His Royal 'Hine'ness

  9. Oh my goodness Apollo. You have concrete competition now. You better be good or your Mom might trade you in on a concrete model that doesn't take so much work. I mean that concrete dog won't even get fleas. Hmmm It might get moss though. You might be safe. tee hee...

  10. Annie says hi to Apollo & sends her understanding of sharing attention with someone else even if it is a statue and doesnt move. She has to share with THREE CATS. oh my thats more then any canine can stand. :)) He is too cute for words. :))

  11. Wow, Apollo, you are King. Your very own statue, and it looks just like you. Did you have to pose for hours for the artist to make this? I'm sure you sat very still the whole time. Have fun on your little trip. Be sure to stick your head out the window.
