Mail for Buttons and Me

Guess what! Today is Buttons's very first full day in our family, and she and I got mail! How cool is that?! A package came in the mail that's addressed to Buttons and me both!


It's from my friend Boris Kitty from Twitter! He knows Shawnee, too, so he knew all about Buttons coming to live with me. He even wrote about Buttons on his blog! Here's a picture of me telling Mom to put the camera down and help us open our package!


Buttons dove right into that package. She was really excited!


Buttons started playing with the monkey toy before Mom could even take the package off of it! (She really likes getting mail, I think!) Boris Kitty sent us two toys and some bandannas and some COOKIES and even a calendar magnet. How cool is that?!


Thanks, Boris Kitty!

I'm Getting a Sister

Mom told me tonight that I'm gonna be a sister! You know my friend Shawnee that I've mentioned before? Mom and I are adopting Shawnee's foster sister Buttons! We get to meet her next week. Shawnee lives far, far away in New Jersey, but she's gonna come this way to visit her grandma and she'll bring Buttons with her!

Buttons is a Shih Tzu like me and she's almost my exact same age. Her birthday is September 18 and mine is June 13. I'm older...but only by a couple of months. Cool, huh?

Anyway, Mom talked to Shawnee's Mom, and they think that Buttons and I are a lot like each other and that we'll get along good. So, we're adopting her. Buttons has had some bad stuff in her life, but that all ends now. (Click here to read her story.) Mom and I will be her forever-and-ever family!

Want to see how cute Buttons is? Shawnee posted some pictures of her and I just stole them to post here, too!



She fell asleep with her head in a toy in this picture!




Buttons celebrating her 9th birthday at her foster home in New Jersey...



Buttons is a toy fanatic. She LOVES toys! Shawnee posted a couple of videos of Buttons playing, too...

10 Things about Me

I read my friend Shawnee's blog today and saw that she passed on a passer-on thing to me! Here's the passer-on thing...it's this picture...

So what I'm supposed to do now is to write 10 things about myself. Shouldn't be too hard to do since I'm one of my favorite subjects...right up there with meat, of course.

1. I'll start with my family. It's Mom and I. I'm an only-child and she's an only-Mom. I like it this way, though, 'cause that means that I don't have to share her and she doesn't have to share me. I've got a really cool Grandma and Grandpa, too. (Grandma actually bought me my very own bag of Cheetos. She rocks!) I've got several dog cousins. Some people cousins, too. And aunts and uncles. My uncle Marty is mean, though. He "meows" at me and says "here, kitty kitty." He's a weenie.

2. I rode a motorcycle years ago. I did not enjoy it. Uncle Marty (the weenie referenced above) was supposed to pick me up from my grandparents' house and take me to my Mom. What did he do? He zipped me into his winter coat with him so that only my little head stuck out, right up by his chin. And then he drove me there on his motorcycle! I nearly peed on him. I was SO happy to see my mom. Uncle Marty thought he was funny. Mom was not amused.

3. Mom adopted me when I was two years old. I used to live with a different family and they had lots of people and lots of other animals. All the other dogs were really super mean to me, though. They ganged up on me all the time. I couldn't ever play with toys 'cause they took the toys away from me. I was underweight, too, 'cause the dogs never let me eat. All that changed when Mom adopted me, though. Now I rule the house! I still get pretty scared around other dogs. I don't want to be bullied like that ever again.

4. I pee like a boy. There, I said it. I like to sniff everything outside, and then I hike a leg and potty like a boy dog. I pee on trees. I'll even do hand-stands sometimes so that I can pee higher up on trees. It's a talent. It really confused Mom, though, until she got used to it. Now people think I'm a boy dog when we go for walks. Mom thinks it's funny.

5. I've got lots of ouchies and I'm supposed to take lots of pills and medicines. Here's my list of ouchies:
  • dry eye -- mom makes me take eye drops twice a day
  • arthritis -- got a pill for this one
  • bad teeths -- vet stole 10 teeth already from me
  • bladder stones -- got two horse-size pills for these each day. I've had surgery twice, too.
  • liver failure (probably from a shunt) -- got a pill for this and some icky, sticky liquid medicine. Also have special doggie food that is rather yucky.
My vet says that I'm lucky that I'm so cute and that my Mom loves me so much. Isn't that just her job, though? He he he.

6. I love to write poetry. I've posted lots of it here on my blog. Mom helps me sometimes. One of my animal friends from Twitter called me the puppy paw-et laureate. I thought that was funny.

7. I'm scared of my food bowl. I won't eat food out of a bowl or off of a plate of any sort. I make Mom put my food on a food mat on the floor. And she tried to switch the food mat once but I would have nothing to do with that new impostor. She had to bring the old mat back before I'd go near my food.

8. I've got my own TV. (I bet you're jealous now!) I watch QVC on my very own TV all day long while Mom's at work. It's a little TV, but it's the perfect size for me. Mom put it right by my office door (my office is my crate, of course). Perfect viewing location for me. Sadly, my TV is starting to get funky, though, 'cause it's old. The colors don't really look right anymore. Mom said Grandma is going to give me her old TV, though, so that I have a better one to watch. I told you my Grandma rocks!

9. My favorite song is the Cookie Monster song. That's 'cause I'm a cookie-eating maniac. I love cookies! I don't know why Mom bothers giving me nasty dog food. She should just give me cookies! I get all excited when Mom sings the Cookie Monster song to me because she usually follows it up with cookies. All she has to do is start to say "'C' is for..." and I go crazy!

10. I am an expert at begging. I get SO much stuff just because I can really put on a cute face. It helps, of course, that I'm so adorable to begin with. I've discovered that it's pretty easy to con Mom out of all sorts of food. I just have to give her that "I'm so cute" look and she melts every time. She won't give me tons of people food because she claims I'm supposed to only eat my stupid prescription doggie food. I'm still working on that...

Ta dah! There's the 10 things about me that I was supposed to write. And now I'm supposed to pass the passer-on thing to more animal friends. Hrm. It looks like most of my friends have already done it, though, so I'm not sure who to pass it on to. Anybody want to take the passer-on thing?

Mail from Las Vegas!

Guess what... Today the mailman brought me TWO postcards! Isn't that cool? They were both from my friend Smokey from Twitter.

Smokey is a poodle doggy and he lives far away in a place called Las Vegas, Nevada. Mom really, really likes that place because there's a big store there that only sells M&M stuff. And if you know my Mom, you know she looooves that M&M stuff. Our entire house is full of it! She went to that store once, but it was way back before she adopted me. So that was like 49 years ago (in dog years, of course).

Anyway, Smokey's dad went to get a postcard for Smokey to send to me and you know what he did? He took a picture of that store for my Mom. Cool, huh? Here's the picture he took:



Mom was pretty excited to see that picture. (Silly, Mom!) Now on to something more exciting (in my opinion, of course, and not Mom's)... Here is a picture of me with my TWO postcards from Smokey!



I gave 'em both a really good sniff. Had to check out my mail!



One of the postcards said "Las Vegas" on it and it had a picture of the city at night. The other one had M&M men on it and it said "M&M World." That's the name of the store that Mom likes there.

So I checked out my mail, but then all of the sudden I realized that one of my postcards was missing. I only have ONE postcard from Smokey and not two! I looked and looked...



Looked all over, but I couldn't find the postcard. Now there's only one person who could have stolen my M&M World postcard. That's my Mom. So to her I say, "GIVE ME BACK MY POSTCARD, you M&M thief!"


Yes, my Mom's in big trouble...

I Got a Card!

My friend Belle sent me a card! She's one of my friends from Twitter. She lives far away, in a place called Louisiana. (I have no idea where that is, but Mom said it's far away.) Anyway, I sent her a postcard and she sent me a cool card that has cute wiener doggies on the front of it. That's really neat 'cause Belle is a cute wiener doggie herself! I told Mom that I need some cards like this one but with cute Shih Tzu doggies on them.

Belle also put info in the card about a ranch that is right by her house. She said that they have real alligators there!


Here are some pictures of me with my cool card from Belle.

I Got Mail!

You know what the mailman brought today? A postcard just for me! My friend Tweetypie from Twitter sent it to me. Tweetypie lives in a place called Arkansas. Mom says it's far away from where we live. Tweetypie and I both wanted to get mail, and we wanted to see where each other lived, too. So we exchanged cards. I think that's pretty cool.

Here are some pictures of me posing with my mail and giving it a good look-over.

Party Costumes

I told you all about the Paw Pawtys that my friends on Twitter have. What I didn't tell you is that we all have cool costumes for the parties, too. We make special outfits just to fit the party themes. Want to see mine?

Here's my outfit for the August Paw Pawty with the Woodstock theme:


And we just had Chick Fest last weekend with a 1950s theme. So here's what I wore:

Pretty cool, huh?
