31 May 2009 Our Fifth Anniversary
 |  Category: blark  |  Tags:  | 2 Comments

Actually our anniversary was way back on May 18th but that lazy mom just didn’t listen to me at all when I told her I wanted to blark about that lucky day in her life … that day when she found me in the parking gargage in the apartment bulding where she lived at the time. (Actually, the way it really happened was that I found HER but she still is saying it the wrong way around… ) I don’t know when mom turned into such a slug that she doesn’t take the time to let me bark in my blark any more … I had to get really serious with her tonight and tell her that I NEED to bark and I need to bark NOW!

I was really proud of mom though on our anniversary day … she took treats to work and some pictures of me and she even wrote a little poem about how much she loves me … I’m going to share all the pictures and the poem with my friends here too so everyone gets to enjoy our special day (even if it is almost two weeks too late) …

And this is the poem mom wrote for me:

It’s Kismet

If you had said five years ago that I would love again, I’d have said you are mistaken, I’ve loved all I can stand.

Though I found her lost and frightened and saved her from the streets, now looking back I realize, it’s she who rescued me.

So here we are together, she’s next to me each night. She slips beneath the blankets and curls up by my side.

As I think how much I love her, and what a good friend she has been … I feel her move beside me, and then she licks my hand.

So that’s the little poem mom wrote for me … I really like it and I wish I could write a poem for HER too because I really do love my mom even if she makes me mad sometimes when she doesn’t always listen to me when I try to tell her something important (like barking in my blark!).

Mom promised me she’d do better from now on and let me bark more often. She’s been doing pretty good on the chicken stick supply lately so I can’t get too mad at her … BOL!

Speaking of chicken sticks … I’m ready to have one right now since I had to bark so much … hurry up, mom. I’m wasting away here … I need a chicken stick to keep my strength up!

10 May 2009 Hiney Flu

Chillin' Out On The Couch
Chillin

I’ll talk about the Hiney Flu in a moment but first do you want see the latest picture of me? Mom took this the other day when I was taking a little nap on the couch and I’d bundled a blanket up to make a little pillow … Of course when I heard her rummaging around getting the camera ready, I opened my eyes a little bit and I thought there might be a tummer rub in the future and got into prime position … then it turned out to be just a big flash in my face … but I DID get a little tummer rub right after that so it was a happy time after all.

Now that you’ve had a few  moments to admire me (and please take all the time you need),  have you guys heard about the Hiney Flu??  It’s been in all the newspapers and all over the TV and I even read about it when I was outside sniffing the grass today. I guess it’s really scary and all the humans are afraid they’ll get the Hiney Flu and mom even said she thought she might have to take a “flucation” from work so she doesn’t catch it from one of her coworkers. I guess it used to be called the Swine Flu until everybody realized that wasn’t a good idea because people started killing innocent piggies who really have nothing to do with the Swine/Hiney (SHiney?)  flu at all.  What’s that mom? It’s not the HINEY Flu?  It’s the H1N1 flu?  Well that looks like it spells Hiney to me so that’s what I’m going to call it so excuuuuuusssssse me for pronouncing words phoenetically …. Personally, I think everybody is overreacting about this Hiney Flu thing. I mean how bad can it be really?  A little flu in the Hiney?? Isn’t that the same as all the other flus out there?  Even I’ve had the Hiney Flu once when I ate something I shouldn’t have. I had the Hiney Flu for one whole day and I didn’t like it all but I got over it and feel just fine now. So I think everybody should get OFF their Hineys and forget about the flu and go back to work doing things that really matter!

 
Guess where mom took us this past weekend? To a Puppy Playday … mom got us loaded up in our crates and she told me we were going to see Mutchy and Lola so I was really excited about that!. Then we went to the Playday place and we went running in and there was Mutchy! But no Lola! Mr Mutchy had to work at his icky job and Mutchy has to take names (but not kick ass) at the Playday place so there was no one there to take care of Lola while Mutchy was at the desk … so no Lola! There were two other dogs there, Bandit and Gander, and we had a nice room to run around in. Mattie loved it and she ran all over and talked to the other dogs right away and even went through a scary-looking paper tunnel (with the encouragement of a few treats of course … even Mattie doesn’t do something for nothing!) … I thought I needed to protect mom from those other people and those other dogs so I didn’t go and visit anyone for awhile but now and then, when I thought mom was safe, I’d go and say hi to someone. I think mom will take us again sometime and I hope Lola is there next time so we can see her again. Mattie and I really like Lola!
Can anyone guess what I’m thinking?  You got it! Chicken Stick time! I know mom will give me one before bedtime because I did such a good bark tonight! Don’t let that HIney Flu bug get you!
