Oh what a beautiful morning!

What a beautiful morning it is in my hometown today!  Above is a picture of my *sigh* brother and I taken during our morning walk.  I think it rained last night because the pavement on the way to the park made my precious paws all wet.  Hey! You know what they say - April showers bring May flowers!

Here is a picture of my *sigh* brother sniffing the tulip plants that have been forcing their way out of the ground...I cannot wait to see their pretty blooms.

So good! So good! So good!

Yesterday was the Boston Red Sox home opener - and they won!  The team was presented with their 2007 World Series Rings prior to the game (shown below). Also, Neil Diamond did a special taped version of "Sweet Caroline" to be played at the 7th inning stretch (for non Boston peeps it is traditional for this song to be played during this time).  I was not available to watch the game as it would have cut in to my afternoon nap too much for me to view it.

I think that I could use some "bling" like this to accessorize my World Series Champs t-shirt above:

There's no place like home...

So the NCAA college basketball tournament ended last night with an exciting game between Kansas and Memphis...or at least I was told that it was an exciting game - I slept through most of it.  As some of you may know, my mom and dad 2b had set up NCAA tournament brackets for fun with the winner getting breakfast in bed.  After the "sweet 16" weekend my dad 2b had enough points that even if my mom picked the final winner she still would have lost.  At this point they decided to go "all or nothing" - well, as fate would have it neither my mom or my dad 2b won as she had picked North Carolina and he had picked UCLA to win overall.  So that means that I will not suffer possible food poisoning from my dad 2b's "cooking"...and, yes, those quotations around the term cooking were used intentionally!  

By the way the picture above is of me and one of my mom's Ruby colored slippers in honor of Kansas/Wizard of Oz.

Mourning Henry.

I am so very sad.  Henry, the beloved yellow labrador of Ms. Kate Sanders has been found (refer to March 25th post "Henry please come home").  Sadly he had accidentally fallen through some ice in their pool.  While this area was originally searched his body was not found because of heavy ice and leaf cover at that time.

I am so sad. woof.

Sealed with a lick.

They have arrived!  They have arrived! 

My mom and dad 2b ordered special postage stamps for their upcoming wedding.  Shown above is the stamp that will grace the reply envelopes featuring yours truly.  My *sigh* brother Riley is depicted on the stamp that will be on the actual invitation envelope.  I am not entirely sure how I feel about Riley getting the $0.58 valued stamp versus the measly $0.42 stamp that I am on.  I may just have to pee on my parents' bed in retaliation!

My mom says that if any of you wish to create your own personalized stamps you can go to: www.stamps.com and design your own.  

Play date.

Today my mom had a play date with her friends Miss M and Z (shown above) and L and SKP.  L made a yummy quiche and SKP made a delicious and nutritious salad...or that is what I am told.  Later we - yes we - took a walk outside by the pond.  I was hot on the scent of a rabbit when I accidentally fell off L's dock and into the pond!  Unfortunately I wasn't my usual graceful self.  My mom, in fact, nearly peed her pants she laughed so hard.  Thanks a lot mom!  Good thing that I can doggy paddle.

Introducing iToff

Hi everybody.  Today I would like to introduce you to my new toy - an iPod shuffle (shown clipped to my collar above).  Dad 2b must have felt so guilty about leaving me this weekend that he decided to buy it for me.  I am such a lucky girl.

Now if only I could figure out how to get these headphones untangled....
