That’s My Sister!
Something strange happened this morning.
I woke up and mom was crying. She was hugging my sister around her neck and sobbing into her fur. I started barking like crazy because I sleep in a crate but she doesn’t and I immediately thought mom needed help or April was hurt and so I wanted OUT! I didn’t really know what to think because mom started laughing and April was jumping all over the bed giving kisses and playing. It was the strangest thing I have ever seen.
We went out to potty and I let April nip my butt so I could get the scoop. I guess when she was younger she used to run really really fast, but now her legs are really achy, and her spine is out of shape from always walking on one front leg that she doesn’t run so fast anymore. I learned quickly that if I am nice to April I get cookies and snuggles and stuff so I play a little game where I run slowly right by her and she gets to nip at me while I pass by. It doesn’t hurt, she’s an old lady, but it makes her and mom happy so I don’t mind.
Anyway this morning April told me it was her birthday. She was really excited about it and so I told her that was wonderful but she just looked at me. “You’re supposed to say Happy Birthday to me” she said. I was so confused but I said it anyway. “Happy Birthday to me” I told her. She laughed and got this distant smile. “I had forgotten those days. You will one day too.” I have no idea what that means but she’s very good to me so I don’t think it was a bad thing.
She’s getting extra treats and snuggles and I heard mom and dad talking about taking her for a ride later. I hope my birthday is tomorrow because that all sounds like a lot of fun!
I’ll keep you posted on what this whole birthday thing is all about, or if you know more then maybe you could tell me? I have a Facebook page where we can talk to each other. I’ll link it HERE for you. Will you stop by and maybe even share some pictures of birthday with me? I feel like I have so much to learn!
Which, oh goodness I am so glad I remembered before I ended this. I asked mom last night how many people had told them they would look out for me and you know what she said? She said, with a very strange smile on her face “How should I expect to hear from them?” I just looked at her like she was stupid (but not for very long because I am not a tough doggie). What does she mean “how should I expect to hear from them?” You’re my mom. They can find you in the kitchen or downstairs in your office, or walking a dog or doing something in the yard. I chose my words really carefully because it was really close to bedtime bone time and I didn’t want to risk losing that. So I just said “you’re not really hard to find mom… You don’t go very far…”
She laughed so hard I thought her insides were going to come out and I just sat there feeling kind of silly but also amused. To help her I jumped up and pressed my face against hers and started licking inside her mouth and her eyeballs until she was begging for air and pushed me off.
“Brudy.” she said with a tender look. “What’s our address?”
I have no idea what an address is so I just cocked my head to the side and widened my eyes.
“Sweet boy. What’s our phone number? Our email?” She gently cupped my chin in her hand and kissed my head while whispering “I know you think you’re grown baby boy, but there is so much you don’t know. Let me help you with this one, ok?”
Well I guess you already know this because I must be the only dummy who didn’t, but apparently you all don’t know my mom… You don’t know how to tell her that you’ll look out for me, and I haven’t given you anyway to do so. I feel silly. I know she’s right, and I am sure I am forgetting to tell you other things as well so I am going to work on that and maybe start writing down questions and ideas, but I gave you my Facebook page earlier and you know the website is www.SitStayLiveHere.com but I also am adding a quick form you can fill out here (or on the main page of the website) that will get sent directly to mom.
There’s a lot to know huh? I guess today I am just going to focus on this birthday thing because it sounds like a big deal and I love my sister so I don’t want to take away from her day. You should wish her a happy birthday on our facebook page too!
