A Tasty Discovery

The strangest thing happened today. I heard a noise in the driveway; when I went with The Lady to investigate, we found a package propped against the front door. The package smelled absolutely yummy, not like most of the packages we find. The Lady opened it, and inside there were several bags filled with goodies: ginger-flavored teddy bears, chew sticks, animal-shaped cookies, and little yummy fishes. What an exciting revelation! I am so lucky to live in a world where goodies land at my front door and teddy bears taste like ginger.


Yum.

A Birthday Poodle

Today's my birthday, my very first birthday, and I'm totally excited to be entering the dog-lick-dog world of adults! Well, kind of, anyway. Technically, a standard poodle such as myself is not fully grown until he's a year and a half. But I still feel that today is a very meaningful moment for me, and that now I should earn a bit more respect from those who've called me a mere puppy for the past year. Yep, I deserve some r-e-s-p-e-c-t, folks.

I didn't have the big blow-out shindig that I asked for (The Lady seems to have some difficulty understanding what's expected of her), but I did get a big birthday hug and a new chewy bone. I'll forgive her her lack of party-planning skills; she seems to have a lot going on these days. I celebrated my arrival into dogdom by squeaking the purple monkey all day. The Lady throws the purple monkey for me when I plop him on her lap, although her last throw sent the purple monkey behind the bedroom door, and The Lady has not offered to retrieve him yet. So, for the moment, the squeaking has had to come to an end. Such is life.

A snooty kiss-kiss to you all,

Sunny
