Guess what…

Yesterday was my BIRTHDAY!

I’m TWO!

I don’t know exactly what that means but Mom and Dad sang a song to me.

I got some really cool presents. Three new squeaky balls. I love squeaky balls. Some treats that help keep my breath sweet and teeth clean. A retractable leash (not that cool as I like to run around) but it’s my favorite color – red. Mom said my other present will be late as it’s personalized. That’s OK because it’s also red!

Mom was secretly making something special, and I mean SPECIAL for me. It smelled so good.

They called it a rice cake but there was some chicken mixed in and a great big 2 on the top made with peanut butter.

Of course I licked the good stuff off the top first then ate the rest of the rice.

I was pretty full so I just nibbled on some of the kibble.

‘Bye for now!

I forgot to say it

If you have siblings, you might have said this when you got up from your place on a chair or the sofa. Maybe you needed to get a drink or snack. Or answer the phone (when they were still attached with a cord). Or go to the bathroom. “I get this seat when I get back.”

Mr. Aitch and I don’t have that problem.

But Pepper and I do.

I forgot to say, “I get this chair when I get back.”

The last slices

I love Irish soda and have tried to make it myself but haven’t had much success. So I make sure I buy a couple of loaves each March.

I freeze at least one loaf to enjoy later in the year. This was the last of it. Warmed and slathered in melted butter.

Now I have to wait till Saint Patrick’s Day to get more.

Cold piggies

Yesterday was chilly. No, it was cold in the upper 40s. That doesn’t seem cold in the big picture but it was close to 80 degrees on Sunday.

I had a pedicure scheduled and I wore sandals which is traditional footwear for pedicures.

My toes were definitely not used to the cold! I might need to knit a pair of pedi-socks for myself to at least keep the rest of my foot warm until the polish dried.

Oh, and I should have picked a more autumnal color…like orange.
