<p class=MsoNormal>It’s me again – Norm!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Well, my birthday was worth waiting an extra day for –
and I have forgiven Mom – she couldn’t help that she had to go to
TAXES to take care of her Dad – and she made up for it today.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This morning, Mom and I got some special snuggle time in the
big bed – just her and me! She rubbed my tummy until I almost got a
bald spot – wait – I do have a bald spot – where my zipper
was! Then, she let me and Opie go into the big back yard and chase
bubbles from her bubble wand – I really like to do that! This
afternoon, Mom brushed me with the Furminator – it made me feel soooo goooood!!
Then for supper tonight – we got “roast beast” and “smashed
taters” – I think that’s what they are called – anyway they
were very yummy. AND – I got a brand new chew toy – that is
just MINE!! Mom says that we will have cake and ice cream in a little bit
– I can’t wait.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Tomorrow we are going to a dog show in Marion OH – I get
to go round ‘n round in the square ring – how does that make
sense??? Anyway – I like to go for those walks with Mom and the
nice judge people always pet me too! I will give you a dog show report
when we get home. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Gotta go – it’s time for cake and ice cream!!!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Drools to ya!<o:p></o:p></p>
