Dear G-Pah Janet and G-Pah Jim:

Today is my 2nd birthday. Both daddies tell me that I am no longer a puppy after today and that I'm a big boy. I'm so excited to be a big boy! I've heard them talking about birds, agility and more classes. I'm really excited about the spring and going out in the field and also swimming.

Today has been a great day!!! First I got up early and ate and then crawled back into bed to snuggle. They only let me do this on the weekends now. Then we all moved to the sofa and I did more cuddling there. After that, one of my daddies made me pup-cakes and the other one was making a turkey for dinner. Boy, I hope I get some!!! I love birds.

It seemed like a typical weekend, but all of the sudden I got 3 bags of presents for my birthday! I got a new Kong, a Moo Cow - - kinda like Froggie, my favorite cuddle toy, and then Saul the Snake from Brooklyn (they say he is from the mafia). He is fun to play running up and down the hallway.

THEN......I got 2 pup-cakes with candles and everything. I was a good boy and sat for pictures. I overheard Daddies saying that they were going to send out the photos. The pupcakes are so good. I'm going to try to sneak a couple later today.....they are on the counter.

So, whew, then we went out to the park and I ran and ran and swam and played with sticks. Guess what? They let me mark everything!!!! I found the scent of a girl at one point. I like girls.

Oh and I forgot, yesterday we were at class and I got to play with lots of doggies. I'm doing really well in class. They have lots of big dogs and I'm trying to be the big-man-on-top, but one of the daddies doesn't like that and makes me submit to the other dogs when I get crazy. Can you imagine that, me going crazy? Whodathunk?

Anyway, we are all waiting for the turkey to finish and I hope I get some. 

I want to thank you for being so nice to my daddies and giving them all the help that they need to raise me proper-like. The two of you are wonderful grandparents and I'm glad to be in the Mischief family.

It's almost time for dinner and I have to get in a nap, but wanted to say hi.   Look for photos. All my loving fishy kisses, Saudade

Poor Milo... you KNOW Indy stole that piece of cookie cake!!

 

So, It's my birthday and I get this awesome cookie cake.. My favorite!   There is just one piece left and it's for my dinner.  We put it up  high... really high on the counter... on top of the toaster.  After  dinner I go to get it.... it's gone... I mean completely gone... plate  upside down... no crumbs... and Miss Indigo is NOT talking, but  neither is she anywhere near the kitchen,  She's sleeping on the  bed... and she is too small to reach up that high, but Milo  Hmmmmm...  that little counter surfing thief!  He doesn't even look sorry... just  content.  But my cookie cake is history!  Good thing I LOVE that dog!   He's sleeping on the extra bed and very happy, indeed!

Grandma Janet & Grandpa Jim,

Help! I'm in trouble!

 

First......I swear on a box of dog bones I didn't do it!!!!  This Weimaraner came in my back door, jumped on the counter and ate the tops off an entire tray of fresh baked brownies (cooled to perfection), the tray slid  into the sink, made a loud noise and I went to check it out - (that other dog ran out the window) and that's how I was framed! I'm innocent! I was in the wrong place at the wrong time!

 

I'm pretty sure my parents are going to let me stay, after all - I really entertain the kid and I clean up after him and they already paid for my obedience school.  I start school tomorrow, Brandy told me they teach you to be good all the time, sounds boring to me.  OH - if I hear "go do what Brandy's doing" or "pick one thing Brandy does and do that" one more time, I'm running away! 

 

Love Innocent Merlin
