Holy Cow!

I haven't written in over a month, pals!  I sure am sorry.  See, it's that time of year when the school year is almost over, and Momma and Daddy are SO TIRED.  It's all Momma can do to get out of bed and get dressed most days, and by the time she gets home she's so exhausted she can barely keep her eyes open.  She's got some real tough kids this year, and one of them is a scratcher, and Momma has bunches of scars all over her hands now.  She comes home and I lick her scratches and snuggle with her, and she says it makes her feel better.  I'm a good nurse.

It's also garden time, so on the weekends Momma is spending a lot of time getting her plants in.  She didn't even have the garden in for a full day before the bunnies got in there and ate some stuff!  Oh pals, the SWEARS coming out of Momma's mouth!!  She made me blush!  Everything is all fenced off now, but she did lose a few cucumber plants already.  She said it's ok, it's still early enough to go buy a few more.  I got to run around and leave my scent everywhere, but the bunnies still came.  Momma says they're evil.  Daddy says Momma's mean cause the bunnies will starve now.  Then she said something not nice that I won't repeat here cause this is a family friendly blog.  BOL!!

Hope all my pals are doing good!

Happy Birthday To ME!

It's my birthday, pals!  I'm 10 years old today!  Momma sang to me and Daddy keeps calling me the birthday dork!  I don't get any special treats cause of the stupid rocks in my belly, but I DID get an extra helping of baby food with my medicine tonight!  So many pals sent me birthday wishes at Dogster, but Dogster must have a gazillion fleas right now cause I can't get on.  But MJF and Growlmy made me this fantastic picture!

Thanks, MJF and Growlmy!  And Doo and Austin's Momma made me this fantastic picture!

Do I have the bestest pals or WHAT?!?!?!

I Got My Hairs Cut!

"Phew!!  You stink!"

That's what Momma and Daddy have been saying to me for a week now, pals.  I think I was the perfect combination of mud, dried sticks, and bunny poo, but I was being threatened with a B-A-T-H and everything!

But I got to go see my best good pals Joyce and Karen tonight, and they cleaned me up real good, just in time for the Bunny!

How do I look?  Momma says I smell much better now!  Please ignore my Aflac duck hiding under the curtains.  He's on a covert mission to keep an eye out for squirrels and other unsavory characters.

Sunshine Award!!

I won another award from my friend Whitley, pals!  It's called the Sunshine Award! 

Here's how we play!

• Name ten things about yourself that others might not know.
• Pass the award on to ten other bloggers (be sure to show the Sunshine Award logo so they can use it too!)

 Ten Things You Might Not Know About Me, Fizzy!

1. I REALLY like cheese.  You probably already know that, but I would do just about ANYTHING for a piece of cheese!
2. I'm scared to walk on the kitchen floor.  I also don't like to walk on the wood floors in the bedroom, and I do a funny hopping thing from carpet to carpet.
3. I have lots of best good friends, but Momma's niece, Natalie, is my most special best good friend.
4. When I was still a pup, I used to sleep draped across Momma's throat when we were all in the big bed.  Momma called it "The Fizzy Scarf".  Momma says she's happy I don't do this any more, cause I'm a bit bigger now BOL!
5. I used to LOVE tummy rubs.  When a person walked through the front door, I'd bark like crazy, then flop on my back so they could rub my tummy!  I don't like them so much anymore.  I'm more of an ear rub kind of guy now.
6. I love Ho Ho time!!  Ho Ho brings me all kinds of presents, and I like to leave my toys under the tree to watch for him.  Momma's pretty sure my moose is a spy.
7. I love to go visiting!  I like to go visit both Grammys and Pap Paps and my Aunties...and most of all, my Natalie!
8. I get baby food mixed in with my medicine every night before bed.  Green beans are my favorite!
9. I can't control my licker.  If there's any exposed skin, I'm going to lick lick lick it!
10. I was once ferociously barking outside on the front porch, so Momma came running out to see what was wrong, only to find that I was barking at a caterpillar slooooooooowly inching across the porch.  Momma thought that was one of the funniest things she's ever seen.

I pick Zoe and Charlie and Zaidie and Mini Mischief and MJF and and...I'm sorry, pals, Momma's so tired her eyes are crossing.  So I pick ALL my pals, cause you all are the sunshines of our lives!

Snuggle Debate!

We got a debate goin on in our house, pals.  Momma says a debate is when you argue with someone but you don't yell at each other.  Anyhow, Momma and Daddy are debating about which snuggle position is the best when we're all in the big bed together.

See, with Daddy, I put my head on his pillow, and then he puts his head on my head.  He calls it the Double Pillow.  I ONLY do it with Daddy.

With Momma, she lays on her side and lifts up the blankie.  Then I curl into her chest, she puts the blankie over both of us, then wraps her arm around me.  She calls it Spooning.  She's the big spoon, and I get to be the little spoon.  I ONLY do this with Momma.

Both of them say their special snuggle position is the best, but I don't care.  I just love snuggle time, any time!!

I Get By With a Little Help From My Friends

Pals, I have a very important message that Momma would like for me to pass along!!

"OK, dear friends. I need your help. As you all know, I was recently diagnosed with Type II diabetes. Diabetes sucks ass, and boy, a cure sure would be nice. My dear friend Mary and her husband Jeremy participate in Tour de Cure every year, and this year I've decided to join the team. No, I'm not physically riding. Not this year at least. I don't own a bike and my foot needs some work done on it. But I can still help raise money.

I've set my goal for $500 to be raised by May 18. Please please PLEASE, if you're able, donate to help find a cure. No amount of money is too small.

Chrissy Hunter's Story

Thank you!!!!!"

So there it is, pals.  If you're able to help out, Momma would love it.  And even if you can't, please go read her story.  Love you pals!

Yummy!!!

So Momma's been trying to find snacks to eat, now that she has the sugarbetes.  She can't believe this, but pork rinds are a good snack!  BOL!  Very little carbs, and surprisingly low in fat.  Pork rinds are just fried pig skin, in case you didn't know.  Here's what they look like.

Momma likes the BBQ kind.

 Now some of you may be saying EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.  BUT!  Momma dropped one on accident and didn't know it, and then all of a sudden she heard "snort snort snort....crunch...crunch...snort snort....crunch...CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH!!!!!"

Oh pals, it was DELICIOUS!!  Crunchy and salty and porky!!!  And now I've been snorting around at her feet, just in case she drops another one!  We all know how clumsy Momma is, so my chances are good!!
