Playing Catch Up Again

So, Mom had to go on another business trip last week, so now we are playing catch up (again).

I'm honored that my lovely pal Putter has awarded me this Golden Rose. Thank you so much Putter. I am so excited that you would think of me!!

I would like to pass it on to my pals Bogart, Faya and Keeley! You guys and girl are great friends, thank you for being such wonderful blogging pals!!

Now, on to other business, we've been tagged quite a few times already, so here we go:

Maggie & Mitch and Happy all tagged me to share with you seven annoyances that I have.

1) I hate when Mom and Dad put me in the way back of the car. Who do they think they are leaving the middle seat up between us?

2) When my bowl is empty I'm not a happy camper.

3) I get quite annoyed when the vacuum makes an appearance. I bark, I paw, I bite at it, yet it keeps on going!

4) I hate waiting to get my Christmas presents. Mom has them all boxed up in the office and I'm not supposed to sniff or peak. What's a dog to do?

5) I do not like to get humped by other dogs. I don't hump other dogs (just my giant stuffed toys!), so why should I get humped?

6) I get annoyed when other dogs won't play with me. I love to play and just can't understand why they don't wanna play too.

7) My biggest annoyance is the word NO. I hear it far too often and it usually means bad things.

Molly & Taffy and Lenny all tagged me to share eight random facts about myself:

1) I was born in Kaukauna, WI, but moved to Chicago at 7 weeks old. No Packer fan here, I'm a proud Chicago Bears dog!

2) I had a rough first year. I had pneumonia, e-coli, panosteitis and several other issues. No problems, I'm all good now!

3) I wasn't supposed to go to my Mom and Dad. I was promised to another man, but he switched jobs and felt he couldn't care for a puppy, so Mom and Dad were moved up on the waiting list, and were invited to come and get me!

4) I rarely bark. I'm more of a whiner and crier. Only when I'm really excited do I bark.

5) I'm known as the class clown in my agility class. I could be perfect all class then do something so silly, everyone bursts our laughing.

6) I'm known as a bit of a chunky monkey. I lose a few pounds then I gain them back. I'm a food loving dog!

7) I'm the only dog in my condo building. I have to go up and down the street to find my neighborhood pals!

8) I love my Mommy the most! Dad may be home with me everyday and take me on the majority of my walks, but I'm a mommas boy through and through. I wait at the door each day for her to come home!

I have no clue who has and hasn't been tagged, so if you haven't feel free to share!

That's a lot of fun facts! I hate the word No too, seems my hoomans like this word too much. And they don't smile when they say it.

Woooo,
Togo

Kirby Bud!

I'm so glad you made it through your first year, rough though it was! You're a trooper.

I'd love to clown around with you sometime. Something tells me we could get into a lot of trouble together. (And, secretly, I'm a mama's boy too. I open one set of curtains everyday behind the couch so I can watch for my girl to come home from work.)

Congratulations on your rose. You deserve every award you get, man.

Goober love,
STanley

I hadn't realised you had had all those health problems Kirby! Glad you're doing so well now. Us Airedales revel in our clown status, be proud!

I hate being humped too...I'm more of a hump-er. But only if you're a boy...and yellow...and bigger than me. Hmmmm, I would probably hump you Kirby. Sorry...but I'd get in big trouble so don't feel too bad.

Hey Dood, not to worry. I bark enough for both of us. After all, I'm a Collie. I have to herd things. Anything. All the time.

It must be a lot of work guarding everybody in a condo building. I hope you get a lot of treats for your work load that's all I can say.

Thank you oh so much for the golden rose, Kirby. I am honored! You are one of my most favorite blogging dogs. My humans are really fond of you too and they think that you and I are a lot alike. I should practically just copy and paste your list of annoying things because those are all things that annoy me too.
Sniff you later!

Lenny said...

Lots of fun facts, Kirby!

Your friend, Lenny

Molly the Airedale said...

Yea! What is it about those Christmas pressies, Kirby? They have OUR names on them! We should be allowed to at least sniff them and guess what's in them, right?! Mean hoomans!

Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch

I am a mamma's boy too Kirby! I can't help it...there's something about cuddling with dad that just isn't right man!

I wait for my mom to get home everyday because she gets home first and when she does, my butt doesn't stop shakin...

That is one rough first year! Glad to see you made it through with flying colors!

Love,Herc

Bogart H. Devil said...

Hey Kirby thanks for the award buddy!!! I'm gonna put it up asap :)

Hope you're staying warm and cozy!

Love,
Bogart

Mojo, Digger and family said...

Congrats on the award, Kirby!

I'm loving all these snippets of information about you. The humping thing makes me laugh - I'm a bit young to really understand these but I suspect most boydogs would rather be the humper than the humpee. I'm a pre-pubescent confused girlpup and have been known to hump my bed on occasion.

I'm absolutely flabbergasted that you are described as a chunky monkey. Mum calls me that all the time!! I thought it was just me!!!
