Merry Christmas!!

I hope you all received all the pressies you wanted. I had a good day and Santa brought me a new loofah, a sock monkey and treats. I also beat up Stew a few times and made him cry like a baby. Also, the little brat fed me prime rib and rolls during dinner - it doesn't get any better than that!

I love autumn!

Okay, it's no secret that fall is my absolutely favoritist season evah. It's awesome - the weather is perfect, Christmas presents are right around the corner, we go on lots of walkies and my anniversary is November 1. I totally forgot about that so I hope Ikes can forgive me. I know he's been busy with his crazy move but I have no excuses. So, happy belated anniversary & I love you Ikes!

Happiness is... & Sigh

...chewing on a pink bone! I think this was manufactured just for me. I know it was! I am seriously that important.




So, my idiot brother wasn't getting enough attention from his cancer. He had to go and shank himself on a stick when he was running outside. He's acting all pathetic and dad had to go get him better pain meds because he's been whining and acting sad all day.



Warning: This picture may be too graphic for squeamish readers!

Seriously?!

Here's a conversation I had with my mom today.

Me: Mom, WTF is this hideous thing?!
Mom: It's a Japanese Foo Dog, Martha, my love.
Me: WTF?! A Japanese Fool Dog?! Don't we already have one of those?!

Next time I go outside, I'm going to poop on it.

I'm back!

Oh yeah, I'm back. Finally. The brat is now 1 and my Dog was the cake good! Tomorrow I plan on catching up with all my blogging friends.

The big C

No, not me, but my brother, Ernies, has cancer. Bladder & prostate cancer to be exact. He has his first chemo appointment tomorrow. Please think good thoughts for him.

Vacation!

Exciting, isn't it? Until you discover you're staying home while the 'rents and the brat are taking off. I guess I'll be throwing a couple of wild partays while they are gone. Who's in??

Here is a picture of me when I found out I wasn't invited on their travels.

Happy Easter!

Someone tell this kid I'm not made of chocolate.

Flying peas

Beware of the flying food when bebe is around. Seriously, I had to run for my life.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Enjoy your green beer & corned beef, everyone!

Happy Birthday, Martha!

Martha's Mom here....for the past three years, I have written a tribute to my lovely dogter on her birthday. This year, however, I have been lax, trying to find my way in juggling time with a new baby, husband, work and dog responsibilities...blah, blah, blah. I think I am extraordinarily lucky and blessed that all of our dogs are so wonderful, but Martha is certainly the icing on the cake. The last few months have been a big change for all of us, but Martha has met the challenge and proven time and time again how special she is and how lucky her Dad and I are. I tear up thinking how lucky Seamus will be to grow up with my sweet Martha, always watching over him and making sure we're taking proper care of him.

So, Martha, on your fourth birthday, I send you lots of love and gratitude for being the best dogter a mother could wish for.

I humbly accept...

...this beautiful award from Joey. Mom would like you all to know that the chair still wreaks of urine, despite using a full bottle of Nature's Miracle on it.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I hope everyone has a wonderful day and that you get to spend it with those you love.

I nominate myself...

for The Stain Award. Um, wait, I mean I nominate KST! Yeah, KST....

Babysitting

Oh my dog, you guys! I have been soooo busy babysitting the little one. I am sooo tired and never get a break. I wish Ikes and I could go to Hawaii for a long vacation. I swear I'm going to get better about visiting all my friends' blogs.

Not fair!

Okay, I've been with the 'rents for almost 4 years and The Boy has only been here for 3 months. How is that he gets his own chair and I have to share a chair with Mom? I'm really not happy about this. I think I'll just take over The Boy's chair and he'll have to deal.



Sigh. I guess it's okay if we just share too but I want the name changed to read "Martha".

Snow!

We finally have lots and lots of snow. You all know how much I love this stuff. My favorite part is pushing KST down and making him eat it. Anyone else getting hammered by this storm?

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone has an absolutely terrific 2009! I resolve to be a better blogger and post more and get back to visiting all of my friends wonderful blogs.

(yeah, I had one too many)
