Another Birthday Boy!!

Hi everydoggie!

Ollie here -- Rudy said I could blog this time since it's MY birthday today -- Mom says I am one year old. She says she can't believe how much I grew since I came to this house. I can! I couldn't get up on the couch and lay on Mommy's lap when I was a little baby, and now I can jump up and lay on her anytime. I'm a big boy now!

Mom makes us wait for-ever for our supper.. I wait by my bowl in my special place in the kitchen every night. The rules are we eat where we're supposed to and this is my place. I like it 'cause I can watch Mom's every move...



She's fixing some of the yummiest food in the whole wide world. It's some recipe she got on the computer by some guy who's a vet and has a recipe for some tasty doggy food that goes on our kibble. It's supposed to be really good for doggies but I don't care, I LOVE it. We're sharing this plate full, but I could eat the whole thing if I could!



Oh this is the best time of day!


Any leftovers up there?


We have some Christmas lights on the deck already so Mom wanted to show you all how they look. If she would go in the yard and take the picture it would be better but it's raining tonight!


All the other doggies like an after-dinner nap so it's the perfect time for a little roll on the floor with my favorite toy --


I like to bite it hard and make it squeak so loud the people have to turn the TV volume way up high! Hahahahaha -- try to sleep through this, Rudy!


This is what Mom and Dennis had for their supper -- PIZZA!!! We get to share some of it. Mmmmmm.. if they could make some pizza dog food that would be heaven!


So after a while I got a bit tired and got up on the couch and sat by Mom -- got a pet from Dennis as he walked by -- Thanks!


Great-grandma Clancy almost didn't make it onto this bed, ya think?


And Auntie Em is hogging this whole doggy hammock. She needs to do some sit-ups to tighten those abs, too!


Even I couldn't resist a little nap-time on Mom, my favorite pillow!


Rudy insisted to Mom that I wear that silly birthday hat even though he wouldn't for his birthday. He said 'The kid has to wear it this time!'. Now I know -- I hate this thing! I had to pay my dues...


This was a bit blurry but heeere's my Frosty Paws ice cream! Happy First Birthday to me!


And we dove right in -- Josie doesn't like her stuff frozen, so she's licking out a couple of the containers in her bowl. Such a princess!


Whew -- good eatin' tonight. Mom promised she'd take me to PetsMart so I can pick out something for my birthday, but I think it's time for another nap right now ...

Good night all!
Love,
