It's my Food Lady's Birthday today!

Hooray - today is my Food Lady's Birthday!
~~~~~
It snowed last night and this morning there was some snow in my screened-in porch. It was kind of fun to go out and look at it. But it was very cold and I still had some breakfast to finish so I ran back into the kitchen. After breakfast I like to jump up on top of the refrigerator to have a drink of water out of my big water pitcher.
~~~~~
After I had my drink I walked over to the other side of the refrigerator and thought to myself that I didn't remember seeing my Big Janitor Dad wrap up my Food Lady's presents. Oh no, what if he forgot to buy them? I don't want my Food Lady to be disappointed on her birthday. I had better go find him and make sure that we are ready for the party later!
China Cat and I also made a card for my Food Lady. We wanted to let her know that we were thinking about her and give her suggestions as to what would be fun to do on her birthday!

Sunday in the Window

Ever since the Christmas tree was up, I have enjoyed sitting on this stool by the front window. The stool used to be over by the rocking chair but it wouldn't fit when the tree was up. I hope that my Food Lady will leave the stool by the window. I think that she might because a lot of times when she comes home she sees me sitting here, waiting for her to come home. That always makes her smile!
~~~~~
When she is leaving and goes to the garage, I sometimes run over and jump on the stool and watch her go out of the garage in her car. She always
waves to me and says she won't be long. Luckily for me, she is always home by dinnertime!
In fact, I am sure that it is about dinnertime now!

Thinking on Thursday

I found this wonderful box just the right size for me to lay down in. So I got my paws in it and lay down thinking how nice it was that someone left a box in the kitchen. I was thinking that 4 x 6 frame must mean that someone with 4 paws could nap in the frame box for maybe 6 hours! That sounds great to me! Wait just a minute...
I think that my Food Lady is laughing at me!
Hey, I do too fit in this box and now it's mine!
Stop laughing...
Well, that ruined my nap...
Now I'll have to find a larger box for my nap.
Then no one will laugh at me...

Wordy Secret Paws for Me!

Miles Meezer was my Secret Paw this year!
Here is how I found out...
~~~~~
My Food Lady went outside to get the mail and much to her surprise, there was a box on the front porch and it was addressed to me! She brought the box in but, unfortunately, made me wait a few days to open it. She said that she wanted pictures of me opening the box. I just wanted to open the box!
~~~~~
Well, I finally got to open that box. I even had to wait for my Big Janitor to watch me open it! Who cares now, it's mine to open!!!

OK, my box is open but I somehow cannot figure out how to get all my gifts out of that box. China Cat suggested that if I let my Food Lady tip it over, then I will be able to see all my gifts.
~~~~~
Great idea, China Cat!
When my Food Lady tipped the box over for me,
all of my gifts poured out!
Woo hoo, there are mousies and Temptations! I'm glad that I put Temptations on my list,
as I LOVE Temptations...
And Toys were on my list,
I LOVE toys but don't know where to start!
Miles Meezer even sent me a beautiful card!
~~~~~
If you can't read my card biggified, it says:
Willow

May happiness fill your holidays

and your new year, too!

Your Secret Paw

Miles Meezer
Miles Meezer, I want to thank you so very much
for all of my wonderful gifts!
You were a great Secret Paw to me!

Basset Hound Wallpaper

The Basset Hound is a short-legged breed of dog of the hound family. They are scent hounds, bred to hunt rabbits by scent. Their sense of smell for tracking is second only to that of the Bloodhound. The name Basset derives from the French word "bas" meaning "low;" "basset" (-et attenuating suffix) meaning, literally, "rather low." They do shed, but they make great pets.

Image of Australian Shepherd

The Australian Shepherd is a breed of herding dog that was developed on ranches in the Western United States. Despite its name, the breed, commonly known as an Aussie, did not in fact originate in Australia. They acquired their name because of its association with sheepherders who came to the United States from Australia.

American Cocker Spaniel Picture Gallery

The American Cocker Spaniel is a breed of dog that originated in the United Kingdom and was brought to Canada and then Spain and the United States in the late 1800s. American Cocker Spaniels were given their own AKC Stud Book in the early 1900s. By 1946, the English Cocker Spaniel was distinct enough in type from the "American" variety, that the American Kennel Club established it as a breed separate from the English Cocker Spaniel.
