Shark Week

Silly daddy!  He’s so out of tune.  Shark Week starts 07/22 – not in a couple of weeks.  Where would daddy be if I didn’t keep him in touch of these things?  And I just want to know… in the video – who is going to get the shark?

Welcome my friends to our weekly issue of Journey with Friends.  This is a time that we come together for support, for encouragement, for fellowship – all with one single goal in mind – to live better.  Welcome to our journey to share our goals and our accomplishments and our disappointments and frustrations.

Together we can do this!

How are you my friends?  Did you have great results last week?  Here, not so much.  I have not gained but I have not pushed it like I should.  I had a hard time getting back into the swing of things from coming off my birthday.  But that’s okay.  I’m better today and this week will be great.  Last week I did walk 15,612 steps which equates to 7.39 miles.  I’m good with that.  In a month, I’ve walked a little over 40 miles.  When you look at it like that, it’s awesome!  So although the scales aren’t playing nice, I still feel like I’m doing something which is a great feeling.  So my friends, here’s to another week.  We can do this!!

Did You Know

Oh friends – Let’s talk about palindrome.  Do you know what palindrome means?  It means dates, letters and sequence of phrases that are the sames backwards and forwards.  This week we refer to it as palindrome week.  Why?  Look at the picture below with the dates this week.  They are the same – backwards or forwards.  Now, I tell you this so you can go and impress your friends.  ❤  I did that with mom/dad and they were highly amazed.

 

Paw Time with Houdini

Welcome my friends to another week of Paw Time with Houdini.  I hope you had a terrific week full of fun and treats. Next week is leading up to something special – sshh come closer – mom’s birthday is next Friday.  Can you believe that she is going to be 25 again?  I was shocked too.  But that’s our little secret.

This week at the Hotel Thompson, I’ve learned some more new things.  First up, the rug near the front door is not suppose to be chewed.  Who knew huh?  Mom says it’s one of her favorite rugs and a certain little pooch now has teeth marks in it.  What?  Looks innocent.  I wonder who did that?  Bacon?  Hemi?  Mouse Girl?  But I have to tell you that rug is intriguing.  It calls my name and taunts me.  Really it does.  Have you ever had something like that calling your name and tempting you?  It’s harsh.

This next thing I’ve learned is something that scared mom – I’m not sure why.  She lives with us anipals so she should expect the unexpected, right?  Okay look at this picture – stunning me hanging out on mom’s cchhaaiisseee.  See here is the game.  I climb up on top and when mom walks by I jump out at her.  She catches me and then nuzzles my chin and belly.  Okay I admit the first time I did it, she was shocked and surprised.  But after that, she expects it now.  I don’t do it to daddy for obvious reasons.  I don’t think he would see me.  And I’m not afraid of jumping or daddy not catching me.  Nope not me.  I’m brave.  I’m afraid of the impact on the nice wood floor – barks!

See I am smart.  Don’t let my size fool you.  I’m not short.  I’m six pounds of fun size.

   And a special shout out today to Easy, mine and Bacon’s close friend and brother.  You are awesome!!  He sent me a gift for my birthday last week.  I got a package in the mail yesterday here at the crib.  All the way from France and made out to moi.  I was so excited.  I just knew it was from me.  Daddy opened the package and I was jumping all over the place telling him to hurry up.  After a gazillion hours, he finally opened it but NNOOO mom had to take a quick picture first.  BARKS!  Look at all of the goodies – a shirt, a handkerchief, Shit Happens bags, a card and a squeaky toy.  All of which say “HEART BREAKER”.  aawaw – you are awesome my sweet friend.  AND I ❤ it all… even the Shit Happens baggies… which will come in handy trust me.

 But you know what was my favorite, right?  The squeeze heart. Oh my dogs!  It’s the best.  It makes a different squeak than my other toys and it’s L.O.U.D.  It’s absolutely the best.  I played with it and played with it and then played with it some more.  In fact when mom put me to bed last night, she didn’t know I had put it in my bedroom.  She and the neighbors didn’t know until they heard me playing with it around 2:00 AM.  BARKS with laughter.  Hey I dog has to play right brother?  Thanks again my friend – you are the best!

Well that’s all for me my friends – yawns – I hope you had a wonderful week as well.  Happy weekend!
