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!
