Father's Day, 2006

Hi, again, to all my doggie and people friends! I hope you all honored your daddies and grampas, and all the special "Uncle Daddys" in your lives! I got to go home to Grammy's & Gramps' and start my week's vacation with them!



Mama dressed me in a new outfit (see picture) and I thought I looked ADORABLE - at least that's what people told me! - I was so excited in the morning that I didn't make "all-gone" with my breakfast, but I always KNOW that Grammy has plenty of food for me, so I wasn't worried...Great Uncles Jeff and Harvey drove me and mama to PA, and the fun started once we got there (I slept most of the way)...I LOVE Grammy's and Gramps' house, even though they'll be moving in the fall...they have these beautiful floors that I LOVE to lie on - cool on my tummy! - and there were lots of people to play with me - Auntie Clucker, Uncle Football, Cousin Molly, and of course my Great Uncles and mama and Grammy & Gramps. Right away, I got some turkey and roast beef, but I was happiest when Grammy gave me a CARROT (see earlier posts), which I promptly hid behind Cousin Molly's handbag to save for later consumption...Gramps opened his gift...me and my brother, birdie face, got him a bright red shirt...he got LOT'SA shirts - and Grammy gave him a wonderful self-cleaning electric razor (which actually mama and I picked up for Grammy...). I knew there was some food on the coffee table, so of COURSE I had to check that out!



Then came dinner, and mama gave me THREE pieces of meat (YUM) - the start of many great meals to come this week! My tummy was SO FULL that I had to have a lie-down...but I got up in time to help Great Uncle Jeff blow out the candles on his birthday cake! His birthday is actually tomorrow, the 20th, but we celebrate whenever we get together!!!



It was hard saying bye-bye to mama - I know I'll be back with her in a week, but still...Grammy & Gramps promise me LOTS of fun this week, so I'm ready to play ball, carrot hunt, play on their bed, sit on their deck, all kinds of things! As the day worn on, I was getting mighty pooped, so I was edging closer and closer to Grammy's bedroom...finally, when all the company (and mama!) left, I got into bed and made sleepies almost right away (except for throwing my toy, piggy around a few times)...so that was MY day...maybe I'll write again after my vacation...meanwhile, if you know my mama please be sure to stay inclose contact with her 'cause I KNOW she's missing me!



Happy Father's Day!!!
