Happy Barkday

Happy Feb 3rd Barkday to Bree (Reilly & Denny's mom.) Happy Feb 3rd Barkday to our Mayorz Murphy and Stanley. Happy Feb 3rd Barkday to our Mommy.  

And a "furry merry un-barkday" to everyone in Blogville whose Barkday is not on Feb 3rd too. (That's like the song from Alice and Wonderland.)

Everyone should celebrate today regardless if it is your barkday or not!  Might as well eat cake and enjoy life.

Bree (Reilly and Denny's mom),  sent Mommy a PAWSOME barkday present in the mail.  Bree painted two absolutely gorgeous portraits of us.  You can tell which one is me (Lassie) because I have one ear up.  

Bree also made a fangtastic bracelet fur our Mommy with a little Sheltie charm and other charms on it (thats in the box in the center of the photo.)

A barkday card is in the top left of photo.

And Bree made some super delicious cookies fur us.   We already tasted the cookies, so some are missing from the box.

Thank u so much Bree fur all the presents.  You made mommy so happy.  We cant thank u enough.

 

 

Now us dogs wanted to give Mommy a special treat fur her 38th (I mean 87th again) birthday so we offered her some miniature cinnamon donuts with candle decorations on it, butt Benji kinda helped himself  and ate the number eight donut.  I ate the vertical-half-eight (number 3) donut.  At least Mommy got to keep the candle decorations as a souvenir from our barkday present to her. 

 

Thank u everyone fur Mommy's Barkday wishes.  You all are such great friends.   Love ya Blogville!

 

And yes our Mommy is really 38.

Have a fun-filled day Blogville!

The fence must go!

We are totally not liking the "fence" our Mommy put up around our favorite pee bush!    Mommy is a wimp and said the ground is frozen and she couldnt really put it up right-- so she had to improvise to get it to stand up with chairs, pool noodles and lawn ornaments.

Our neighbor was outside trying to fill her bird feeders and was watching what mommy was doing.   I think she ended up spilling some bird seeds because she must have thought our Mommy was insane.   

Anyway mommy explained to the neighbor about the vet wanting her to put a fence around the bush because Benji might be allergic to that bush.

The neighbor breathed a sigh of relief and said I wondered what u were doing.

Anyway, both us dogs gave Mommy dirty stares because we dont like her fence installation job one bit!

I am surprised she didnt just duct tape the fence together.

Oh no, I hope my mommy doesnt read that and get any ideas!

By the way, we dont know what kind of shrub this is.  Maybe its a yew of some sort?  It kinda looks like Christmas tree branches.  We have never seen any berries on it, so i dont think it gets berries.   If anyone knows what kind of bush this is, let us know please so we can look it up for possible allergies.

A magic year?

Mommy's birthday is on tuesday. She said she is getting too old to be counting her actual age, so she said she is just gonna tell people her current age from now on.   

This is her age currently, no wait its not 37-- my bad--I am holding the number down with my paw.

Thats better, Benji is displaying the correct age of 87.  

It was like magic we almost made Mommy half her age -- get it--half of a number 8 is a 3.
