pet animal: June 2008

I'm Three!

Yesterday was my birthday. I've now reached the grand old age of three. You may not think that this is particularly old, but if I was a human, I would now get the 'key to the door'. (I would also be able to drink, smoke, drive, vote and have sex. I'm not too bothered about the first four but the sex would be OK. As it is, I'm heading for being a fourty year old virgin. Sigh...).

Anyway, enough of my "old man's" rant. As is befitting of my 'old age', my birthday celebration was a relatively quiet affair, but I still really enjoyed it.

Of course I was showered with lots of attention, which I always love. Most importantly, however, Missus cooked lots of sumptious food for me! (Don't worry, Lilly got some too!)

Take a look at the photos below.

This is me with (one of) my birthday cake(s). Unlike on my previous birthdays, this year Missus baked me a number of smaller cupcakes rather than one big birthday cake.

Even better... Missus made me a prime steak dinner. Unfortunately, I had to share it with Lilly (the greedy monster).

Dad sang his customary "Happy Birthday To Homer" song. It sounded awful, but I pretended to enjoy his singing...

"Happy Birthday to me! Happy Birthday to me! Arooo... "

Missus knows what a couple of wolves we are, so she broke the cupcakes into smaller pieces for us. I had two and Lilly had one. Look at our hungry faces!

We both thought that my doggy birthday cupcakes were YUMMY!

It wasn't only Missus, Dad and Lilly who wished me a Happy Birthday. I'm really grateful to say that many of my friends around the world had been in touch to wish me 'Many Happy Returns'.

Here's an e-card designed by Rocky, Bear and (my dear departed friend) Lacylulu to show what I mean.

From Rocky, Bear and Angel Lacy Lulu. Thank you.

And thanks to all of you for your good wishes on my special day. Arooo!

The Little Thief

Take a look at the footage below in which Lilly steals my toy.

A Stranger in My Bed

My life has suddenly been turn unp side down. Up until now, I've had sole possession of the master bed (although I sometimes let the humans sleep in it too!). Heh heh... Now, however, there is a young pretender to my throne. Ever since Lilly got here, things have got a little bit 'crowded'. See what I mean...

Lilly, in my favourite spot next to Dad.

See, I've now been shoved down to the bottom.

Bah! She looks so snug.

You can see that I don't look too happy.

Don't worry, I will plot my revenge.

Hey Lilly

I am so happy today. We have a new guest staying with us for a month! So everyone, I want to introduce you to my new friend, Lilly.

Look at those big floppy ears! Lilly is an eight-months old Dachshund.

This is the first time that Lilly has been away from her humans and I don't think that she is used to it yet. She has been staring at the door ever since she got here. She must be hoping that her humans will be coming for her. Hey, Lilly, don't worry - I'll take care of you and we'll have a fabulous time together!

Lilly patiently waiting for her humans.

The Contortionist Sleeper

Apparently, Missus never fails to be amazed by the contortions I make while sleeping. Personally, I can't understand what all the fuss is about. To me, this is just the perfect position for me to enjoy my sweet dreams.

What do you think?

Lewin

In a previous posting (long ago) I introduced Mr. Lu and his four beautiful golden retrievers. Recently, Missus and I met up with Mr. Lu and one of his goldies (Lewin) again. We all went to have a play around in Mr. Lu's garden. Here are some of our photos.
