my girl is so lucky

Sometimes Mean Sister Fig and I can't wait until my girl gets done washing her face and brushing her teeth to fall asleep. And on nights like that (okay, every night) when she comes in, this is what she sees. We like to get the bed all warm and ready for her....

my summer days:

I love sleeping in the warm sun....

masculine aria

I just realized this is my 285th post and I have never shared my singing with you! That's probably because I don't do it very often, but every once in a while it just comes out. As you'll see, Mean Sister Fig does not appreciate my beautiful (and yes, VERY HIGH) voice, but just ignore her. My girl starts it out, and then I take over. Enjoy! (And turn down your volume.)

I'm all clean

Here are some pictures from the car ride home from the prison grooming shop:





My girl wants to know why they called me a "feisty little thing" because I'm usually pretty laid back and don't make a fuss. But I'm not telling her what I did or why they came up with that name.

this is above beyond what is called for!

As a punishment for the following crime:

(making the pee-pee on Leah's bed)

I am being TAKEN TO PRISON!!!!! I have to go to the maximum securities prison to get my sparse hairs washed and my tender little nails cut on Tuesday!!!!! This is CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT!!!!!!!!!!

most glorious, stupendous, spectacular present ever

OHMYDOG I couldn't WAIT to for my girl to get home from work yesterday because look what came in the mail for me:


It was a package from Stanislaw and his mom!!!!! I wanted my girl to stop taking pictures so I could SEE WHAT WAS INSIDE!


My nasty face did the trick and she began the unveiling! I had some difficulty, as you will see. I actually didn't quite know how it was supposed to work, but with the help of my girl we got it accomplished.


Stan knows how to flatter a man - look at my important title on the card!


I was hoping for a side of beef, since he IS the master feaster, but alas, there was not any raw meat stuffed in there. However, there was a PICTURE of some meat, which was almost just as good! He even drew my attention to it. Mmmm.... yummy!


AND LOOK AT WHAT HE SENT ME!!! Notice how I SMELLED him (and Big Pupi too) on it....


IT IS A SWEATER!!! A HOME-MADE SWEATER STAN'S MOM MADE ESPECIALLY FOR ME BECAUSE BOTH STAN AND I LIVE IN FRIGID TEMPERATURES AND HE WANTED TO HELP ME STAY WARM IN THE SNOWY COLD! JUST LOOK AT IT!


Now for this next video I need to offer an explanation in advance. If you noticed in the last video I kept looking to the side; that was because Petra was in the other room and was not allowed in because I was opening my present and she would have barged in and ruined it for me. She was mad that she was excluded and therefore began whining and crying and chirping back there. I didn't know what was going on and wondered it something was amiss, so in this video I wanted my girl to hold me and reassure me everything was okay. So while I might not look like I am excited about putting on my gift, please believe that I was... I was just concerned at the same time.


And this morning I jumped for joy when my girl pulled it out. I jumped and twirled and bounced and ran around because I was so excited! I LOVE IT!!! I'm going to post a bunch of pictures of me in it because it looks so handsome on me and it is so warm and cuddly and fits so PERFECTLY (which is difficult for my clothing) and it is my favorite present ever in the history of my life and maybe even the life of my girl too.












In that last one I was waxing poetic through song about the wonderousness of my new sweater. I think maybe my favorite part is the high neck - it keeps my long naked neck extra warm in the cold. I've never had a turtle-neck sweater before, but Stan's mom should patent that for dogs! But did you notice something EXTRA special about it?!?!?!?!?!?! Look at this close-up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Did you see it?! THERE ARE CARROTS AND LETTER "T" ON THERE FOR MEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OHMYDOG I LOVE CARROTS AND THE LETTER T IS THE BEGINNING OF MY NAME - TADPOLE POMEGRANATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stan and his mom are the BESTEST BESTEST BESTEST in the whole world!

I will leave you with a video of me doing my most favorite thing in the world with my new most favorite present in the whole world: Cuddling on my girl's lap, licking the air repeatedly for no apparent reason, and looking handsome and manly and warm in my new sweater. There is NO WAY THAT LIFE CAN GET BETTER THAN THIS, FOLKS:


Stanislaw and Stan's mom: Thank you from the bottom of my heart. This is the most perfect present EVER! I love it!

surprise

Well something drastic has happened, and I had nothing to do with it, but I am the LUCKY RECIPIENT of it! It's a secret, so you'll have to wait until tomorrow (when my girl gets the pictures loaded), but it's awesome!
