Running Around the Big Square is Not Allowed

Hello Everybuddy!

Do you like softball?  I do!  It's so fun!  This is how you do softball:  you go to a big field with a fence around it and then you watch these silly people hit balls with a stick and run around a big square.  I am very good at this game.  It takes a lot of concentration to sit quietly though.  Sometimes I want to get up and run around the big square too.  This is NOT ALLOWED.  You must sit quietly.  I'm just a beginner, so sometimes I sit quietly, and sometimes I sit loudly.

My BFF Maggie is a very advanced softball player.  She knows how to sit and be very quiet.  I went to a game with her and we sat together on my Mommy's lap while her Mommy ran around the big square.  Maggie tried to show me how to be calm.  She's really good at it.  She's pretty advanced.  She's been playing softball for a while now.

In this picture you can see that we are both wearing sweaters.  That is because it is always cold at the big softball square.  You know what?  I think I might have to have our Mommies make us matching sweaters.  Wouldn't that be cool?!

When Mommy took this picture she said, "This is the cutest thing in the history of all cuteness!!!"

Bye for now!

Ten Honest Things

Oops! I was supposed to list at least ten honest things about myself when I was tagged for the Honest Scrap Award. So without further ado, here are my ten things:

1) I poop on the floor. Yep. I pee in a box, but I poop on the floor. It's kind of embarrassing, but ever since my injury, I don't have complete control over my poops.

2) I would prefer to sleep until 2:00pm with my Daddy every day. I'm not lazy, just sleepy!

3) I miss my sister Clover. She died in January.

4) I like to be carried. Some people say you're not supposed to carry little dogs all the time because it gives them a superiority complex, but I don't hold with such nonsense. Besides, I don't think this is a problem because I already am superior! So carry me forever, I say!

5) I like to shred papers. I don't eat them; I just shred them and leave them all over the floor.

6) When my whiskers break and fall off, Mommy likes to find them and put them in a jar for safe keeping. Hmm...I guess that's more of an honest thing about my Mommy.

7) I like to lick lotion off my Mommy's hands. I know I shouldn't, but I can't help it sometimes.

8) My feet smell like popcorn. Mmm...popcorn...

9) I eat my foods one piece at a time. I take them from my bowl one by one and carry them over to my blankie, where I usually play with them for a while before eating them.

10) I don't really like kids that much. They are too unpredictable!

Scrabble!

I like Scrabble. I like to help by licking the box and trying to walk on the board. I think my parents like that.

This Post is Brought to You by the Letter "D"

I have been tagged by Ruby to play a fun letter game. I have to list 10 things I love that start with the letter she chose for me. And the letter is...D! Here we go:

1) Daddy!
I love my Daddy so much! He is the bestest ever because he plays with me whenever I want. And when he works nights, he lets me sleep in with him the next day until at least 2:00pm--awesome!

2) Digging the Covers
When I get in bed at night, I always have to dig my blankets into position before I can go to sleep. Mommy and Daddy think this is very cute, but really it's just necessary!

3) Dirt
For some reason that my parents can't figure out, I love to lie in the dirt. I always ask to go outside on sunny days, and then instead of finding a spot in the grass, I go straight for the dirt. I'll tell you why. It's because the grass is pokey on my tummy!

4) Ducky & Dog, Loofah & Disc, Floppy
Yes, I know that's really three things, but these are three toys I have that start with (or sort of start with) the letter D. And I like them a lot!

5) Dinner
This one kind of goes without saying.

6) DogTown
This is a very good TV show about Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. Even though it can be a little sad sometimes, it is a very good show and a very good place for animals. Mommy and Daddy hope to visit there someday.

7) Dressing Up
I have a lot of sweaters and jackets. Not as many as Lorenza or Daisy, but still a lot! I even have a bee suit!

8) Dancing
I love to come up to the couch and ask to be picked up, and then when they lean down to pick me up, I dance away! I dodge and weave and bop and zip. It sure does frustrate them, but dancing is so fun!

9) Downward Dog
Before my injury, this was one of my most favorite stretching positions. I couldn't do it for a long time after my surgery, but now I can again. Yay me!

10) DWB!
Yeah, it's awesome. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll poop on the floor...okay, I'll poop on the floor. But that's not DWB's fault.

Bye for now!
