Happy Birthday Miss Scout!

Today is my special day.  I am 6!  Here are some photos from my past.

Mama asked me if I wanted a toy or treats and I chose treats.  I'm getting those after dinner.  Mama also gave me some coupons that I can redeem at any time.  They are for belly rubs, ear rubs, butt rubs, car rides, walks and treats.  Should I use them all in one day or spread them out?  It would be a heck of a good day if I used them all in one day.

Mama's Christmas Present Is Here

Mama saw something last week that she just had to have.  Daddy said if she wanted it, she could get it for Christmas, so she did.  It arrived a few minutes ago.  Do you want to see it?  It was hard getting a full picture of it because it's so big!

It's a blanket with our pictures woven into it!  It's really big and soft.  Mama designed it and chose different fonts for our names to match our personalities.  She really likes it! 

She found a coupon for Groupon and so she got it for half price.  She found another coupon for Groupon that appears to be active today, if anyone is interested: Groupon   The company is PhotoWeavers  They have a video on the website that shows you how they make the blankets.  The ordering was really easy.  The hardest part was picking out the pictures she wanted to use.  They tell you if the quality is not high enough and there were a few photos that Mama wanted to use of Jack that she couldn't.  I had to have a photo session for my photo because I didn't have any that she liked enough for the blanket.  She finally got one of me that she loves.  I think I look pretty good on a blanket.

Mama is not getting anything for telling everyone about the blanket.  She just likes to share when she finds something she likes and thinks others may also like it.  :-)

It's Not Saturday?

I thought today was Saturday.  This morning, Daddy was sitting in the recliner using the laptop, so it has to be a Saturday, right?  Nope, Mama said it's Thursday.  She asked me if I remembered watching Survivor last night.  I didn't remember that, but I don't pay much attention to the TV.  After she told me it was Thursday, I did my usual horse sound and went to sleep.  I was very disappointed.  Oh, my horse sound?  It's hard to describe, but I blow air through my mouth and I sound kind of like a horse.  Scout does it now, too which Mama thinks is really funny.  She doesn't know how I taught Scout to do it.

My leg is already returning to his regular size.  It had shrunk while it was in a cast and bandage.  Mama said she gives me a "C" grade for walking on it.  I'm doing better, but I still prefer to three-leg it.  We are working on it every day and it is getting stronger.

Mama is getting ready to work three jobs and she had to turn down a fourth one yesterday.  Do you believe that?  She only has one job that is permanent and the other two are more seasonal although she may be working them every month to stay active with the companies.  We just has to wait and see.   She discovered yesterday that she shouldn't take on hours after 4 p.m. because Scout and I don't like that.  We are ready to play at 4 p.m.   She is not allowed to have any background noise and we started whining.  She was very happy when her shift ended and so were we.  I really hope that she doesn't stress out as much with her training of job number three, like she did with job number two.  She was not fun to be around.   I really think she should just retire like me.  She would be much happier.

Being Adopted Is the Best!

I don't have much to say today, except that I'm so glad that I have a forever home!

Getting Ready To Meet Santa

I'm going to meet Santa this coming Sunday and get my picture taken with him.  I've never met the guy before.  Yesterday, Mama spruced up a collar for me to wear.  It was Jack's.  She added some sparkling things to it. When I'm out in the sunlight, I really sparkle.  I want to make a good impression because I've heard that he brings presents!

She made Scout a brand new collar.  She bought the material last year, but didn't have time to use it because they busy moving.  Mama was all excited about the collar and said it was cute.  Daddy said that Scout doesn't do "cute" and Scout agreed. 

Mama did photo sessions with us.  I think I look pretty good.

Thank you to everyone for their comments about my leg.  Mama and I were encouraged after reading them.  I did better walking yesterday.  I think it will just take time to build up my muscles.  We thought since I was doing so well with the bandage that I would do fine without it, but it's like starting over.  I think I'm already showing improvement, so we will just keep doing what we are doing.
