Happy Birthday To You

Birthday greetings and wishes
to a very good friend!

Something to think about:
How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?

Now here’s you birthday song. Enjoy!



Dog Wisdom:
Age does not diminish the extreme disappointment of having a scoop of ice cream fall from the cone. ~~Jim Fiebig

Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter. ~~Mark Twain

I don't feel old. I don't feel anything till noon. That's when it's time for my nap. ~~Bob Hope

Middle age is the awkward period when Father Time starts catching up with Mother Nature. ~~Harold Coffin

True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country. ~~Kurt Vonnegut

They say that dogs can smell fear. It’s a good thing they can’t smell “old”. Otherwise the barking at your place would be unbearable. ~~Abby

Chubbs and I are really enjoying the holidays. Especially the part about settling in for a long winters nap.

Of course I have other official duties during Christmas.

I am glad I have Chubbs for a helper this year.

Geared up for a practice run.

I am beginning to think I should have taken Chubbs for more walks.

Oh - Boy! Just a few more days to Christmas

A Dog's Christmas Promises

Christmas is for humans, and I will not ruin the surprises by opening all their presents.

Christmas light bulbs, Christmas ornaments, Christmas stockings, and tinsel from the Christmas tree are not food.

I am the alpha dog, therefore I do not need to protect my new Christmas rawhide from the omega dog by taking it outside to eat when the wind chill is -10 F.

I will not demolish the Christmas tree and drag the string of lights out into the backyard through the doggy door.

I will not dive into the Christmas tree to get the candy canes (which I will eat -- paper and all).

I will not eat my Christmas doggie treats until after they're out of the stocking!

I will not even THINK about going underneath the Christmas tree and piddling on the dining room rug.

I will not get into a fight with the bigger dog next door, making my human have to call the vet's at Christmas.

I will not get tangled up in the Christmas tree lights and pull the tree down while trying to get at a cat through the conservatory window.

I will not pee on Grandma's Christmas presents that are under her tree as soon as we enter her house.

I will not pee on the Christmas tree.

I will not steal the neighbor's Christmas light bulbs.

The bowl underneath the Christmas tree is not a dog dish. I will not drink from it. It will make me sick.

It's Feeling More Like Christmas

Burrrrr

Don’t know about you, but I am a cold dog this week! I wish they would let me stay in the house during the day too. Oh well at least I have Chubbs to keep me company (warm).

Keeping with the Christmas spirit here are some things to keep your thoughts warm anyway.

Christmas Eve
From a Dogs Perspective

by Shel Silverstein

Tonight's my first night as a watchdog,
And here it is Christmas Eve.
The children are sleepin' all cozy upstairs,
While I'm guardin' the stockin's and tree.

What's THAT now . . . footsteps on the rooftop?
Could it be a cat or a mouse?
Who's THIS down the chimney?
A thief with a beard - And a big sack for robbin' the house?

I'm barkin'. . . I'm growlin' . . . I'm bitin' his butt.
He howls and jumps back in his sleigh.
I scared his strange horses, they leap in the air.
I've frightened the whole bunch away.

Now the house is all peaceful and quiet again,
The stockin's are safe as can be.
Won't the kiddies be glad when they wake up tomorrow . . .
And see how I've guarded the tree.

Here are a couple of my old favorites!

Let it snow - Sing it Dean-O………….

Entertainment just doesn’t
get any better than this!


And now a little dog humor.
