Dogs on Thursday: Special Birthday Edition

Hey everybody! I am finally here to tell you about dad's birthday last Monday! He loves to eat the sugar decorations made for cakes and since his favorite cake is coconut...mom gets them for his cake. She made it square this time, which I didn't care either way cause I just wanted a big bite or at the very least......let the awesome aroma permeate my squashed nose! Best Buddy kept saying it looked like the cakes you buy in the frozen section since it was square.....but hey, I didn't care! IT SMELLED GREAT !!!! Dad did not care at all that I wanted in on the celebration.

Why, he even let me lick on a piece of that scrumptious sugar candy......now I KNOW why he loves it so much. I was in 'dog heaven' (not to be confused with 'hog heaven' - please).

Next, I was allowed to help dad open his gifts.......he really likes those bags with the beautiful dogs on them. I was a whole lot of help!

All the birthday hoopla makes a guy thirsty you know. Summer is a run of birthdays around here with BigBoy finishing it up in September. I am counting on him to share all the fun with me, not too worried, after all, we are pretty tight! May all you two-legged 'pets' and my fur-friends enjoy your days, especially Snuffles, Annie, Luna, Emma, Tonka, Presley, Friday, Penny and Dizzy!

Dogs On Thursday:Barely!

I must check into getting another 'Lady in Waiting'....the one I have now is making me wait WAY TOO LONG!!! Certainly, last week has been forgiven but today...by the floppy skin around my teeth have I slipped in my report for this week! This will be checked into...after all....I am a royal and have standards to uphold. Bliss, bliss, bliss is what it has been with everyone here (especially that funny jester BigBoy!) The little miss has been giving me quite a bit of attention also....what can I say.....if you don't love me immediately, you will soon! Last week Dad and my buddy took me to that place where they look me over, boy, I love the attention. Against my wishes they stuck a needle in a place on my front leg that I had been thoroughly enjoying licking. May I say that it hurt me worse than anything had but for some reason the thrill of the lick has left me........

Ahhhhhh- LOVE IT when my royal aura shows up so intensely in one of my portraits!!!! Though the guys were away today sometimes you just can't hide the glow......Happy DOT everyone with a special woof out to Snuffles, Annie, Luna and Emma!

Bowing To My Habit

Yes, I'm hooked. It is 10 p.m. and I must get up around 5 or so to get ready and go to the volleyball tournament and what am I doing? Talking to my imaginary friends....oh, I know you are not but that just popped in my head. Did I mention that by 2 a.m. I still could not fall asleep last night? So, crazy talk now. Anyhow, I wanted to post a little ink ditty composed the other night, I'm not sure if this qualifies as a zentangle or not. I texted it to my son yesterday and he replied, "What the h___ is that?" Now, first, is that anyway to text yo' mama? Uh-uh. But the point is it's just not his thing, even though he is majoring in art and doing his share of it right now. Hey, I have a very point-blank crew around here that is mostly interested in art that is realism. It makes me laugh. Upon showing some work to Mr. Unplugged I get, "What's that for?" I say it's for fun. So y'all have fun today!
