My dogs are so cutesie. sometimes. I came out of the shower and discovered them all cuddly like this on my bed. Sweet little love muffins. You probably wonder how I could ever talk bad about them when they look so precious and innocent. This is how they lure you.

| Delilah & Penelope Today is Delilah's "Gotcha Day". It's the day we celebrate me bringing her home to be part of our family. For 3 years I've tried to convert her from a hood rat to a dog. We are assuming she is 4. I feel kind of bad celebrating her Gotcha Day considering I am the worst kind of mother to my one true love, Penelope, and forgot to celebrate her 10th Birthday on February 5th. Perhaps tonight should be a joint celebration?  The thing is I can buy Delilah bones and she will devour them. I can buy Delilah toys and she will destroy them. I can't buy Penelope anything. She very rarely chews on a bone. She very rarely plays with a toy. She used to be quite the Frisbee enthusiast before she went blind. Every blue moon she will still grab a rope toy to be thrown which is nine kinds of pathetic cuz...um...how is she going to find it once it reaches its destination? I hate celebrating with food, but they do lovie themselves some Beneful Prepared Meals, so I will probably buy one for each of them and let them go to town. Normally I buy one for them to share when I feel guilty about something. I'm very predictable. So, one thing I don't do often enough is take my babies for walks. I know, I know...I'm awful. Let me explain, though. First and foremost, I have to take them separately which is kind of obnoxious. I wish I could say that this is because Penelope is blind and it's easier to navigate her that way, but the truth of the matter is that I had to do it this way before she went blind because they are both unruly and undisciplined during a walk and pull in too many directions. Secondly, Penelope makes cRaZy noises since she can't see and everything catches her attention, so I find myself making announcements to everyone who stares at us that she is blind as if that makes it all less awkward for any of us. AND then beyond that, I really don't have any excuses except that I'm just bad. =/ Tonight, however, both of my monkeys will get walked (and then mama shall run). Do you celebrate your pets' birthdays or am I just a weirdo not sporting a beardo? |

I totally celebrate my pets B-days! I know its naughty but we always got my pooches chicken nuggets from McDonalds. They LOVED them! Your pooches are so cute!!
Aw, happy Gotcha Day sweet Delilah!
And I think a food reward is perfect acceptable. They ARE dogs after all. It's not like they'd appreciate a boquet of balloons or a charity donation or something.
And yes, I celebrate my cat's birthday. Or my guestimate of their birthday. That's not crazy, it's just looooove. :o)
We don't celebrate our dogs bday because we found her as a stray so we don't know when it is.... although she is SO spoiled it is like every day is her bday! We estimate she is around nine . I say this as I just took off her pajamas and I am going to put her sweater on! Hahah! She is over 50 pounds and a spanial sort... my sons say she is "plus size"! She is on a diet , and she hates it just as much as I do!
have a pretty day!

Happy Gotcha Day Delilah!!
We'll be celebrating Taxi's first Gotcha Day on April 16th :) I think a pupcake will be in order.
I actually remember "trying" to walk Penny once with you :) I can understand why you wouldn't walk them together if their both like Penny. Give Penelope a great big head rub from me, I love that girl. PS I've never met Delilah but Give her a head rub from me too :)
