Thank you for the barkday wishes!

Thank you to all my friends for you wonderful barkday/birthday wishes. It helped to make my birthday so special!!

Check out this super sweet card I got from Rocky, Bear & angel LacyLulu. I love how excited I look in the picture.
I also got two great e-cards from Maggie & Mitch and Molly & Taffy. Mom is computer deficient at times, and has not been able to figure out a way to load the cards. Thank you for the cards, they were so great. Oh, and M&M, I did get ice cream all over my beard!

Lenny sent me a hilarious card through the mail. Mom tried to scan it, so you would all see it, but our printer/scanner/fax/copier decided to die out on us. Mom just looooves electronics. Trust me, it was hi-lar-ious!

The week before my birthday, I saw a box with my name on it. Mean old Mom made me wait till my birthday party. One look at the box and I knew it was from my pal to the north, Keeley! It was the Irish Terrier birthday dog sticker that gave it away! He he!!
I worked and worked on getting the box open, but no amount of chewing would make it open up. Mom stepped in to assist, and I breathed in my first sniffs of birthday goodness!
First thing I found was this PAWSOME Harley Davidson Museum bandanna! Grandma helped put it on me, and I think I look super cool!

I just love being a Harley dog!
Also included in the box was a big green prickly squeaky ball. I love this thing! I like nothing better than grabbing it first thing in the morning to 'assist' Mom and Dad in waking up. There was also a giganto bag of Jones Natural Chews! It's a variety pack, so I can try everything they have! Woo Hoo!!
Mom and Dad tried to get everything together so we could get a nice picture and say Thank You to Keeley, but I was not having it. I just wanted to eat my chews!!
Finally, after a snack, I was willing to sit for one picture with all my wonderful loot from Keeley. Thank you so much Keeley, I love all my prezzies!!

'Till next time,

I'm 2 Today!

We started my 2nd birthday celebration yesterday at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Grandma made me this snazzy party hat so everyone would know that I'm now 2 years old! Soon after, I ate the hat. What can I say? I like paper...
Grandma started things off by giving me some treats she got at the local dog bakery. Mmmm mmmm good!

Spencer got some treats too. I also brought a bag of his favorite, Senior Greenies, he was super happy once he got one.
After our treats, I opened up a few of my gifts. I love eating the wrapping paper almost as much as I love playing with my new toys.
Grandma was busy making some treats for the humans, but since the party was for me, I thought I should give them a Kirby taste test first.
After all those treats, I went outside and did a little roaching. This ALWAYS feels so good!
Then of course I had to head into the water. I took my newest toy into the water too.

Then I took it for a trip around the lake. I actually brought it back when Mom and Dad threw it in.
Here I am chasing off some of the stupid geese that are pooping all over Grandma's yard. While I like their poop, Grandma is tired of it. She says it's everywhere. I swam all the way across the lake after those geese and they still wouldn't leave.
I tried out a little bitey face with Spencer. He actually played a little bit with me.
Back inside to open some more prezzies, I got a new Water Wubba from Grandma. Too bad I like to play with it out of the water more than in the water.
Then it was on to the cake! Grandma ordered me a Blues Clues cake without any chocolate so it was dog friendly!

Mmmmm cake and ice cream, oh so good!
More prezzies!
Back outside and trying to chase away those stupid geese!
Mom got some clown cookies for Spencer and me, but I was too excited to let her get a photo of them. I had to have mine right then. Mom says I was riding a sugar high from my cake and ice cream.

Now, on to today, my actual birthday! I opened up a few more presents from Mom and Dad. I got some super cool pawlimpics boxing gloves. I'll have to get some pictures of me using them and send them on to Lenny.

I got a super cool new Orbee Mars ball, Mom had a hard time getting a good picture, sine I was running all over the place.
More cake! Mmmm, I could get used to this!
Got to make my wish. Hmmm, what do I want.....
Thanks to all of you who wished me a happy birthday! I did have a great birthday! A huge thank you to Keeley for my super pawsome package. I'll post again with pics of all the great things I got. Thanks to Maggie & Mitch and Molly & Taffy for your pawsome E-cards. Lenny gets a huge thank you for the super hilarious card. It had Mom and Grandma cracking up. And of course, thank you to the king & queen of all birthdays, Rocky and angel LacyLulu for their great email card You all helped to make my birthday super special, thank you so much!!
'Till next time or when this sugar coma wears off,

What a Christmas!

So, Christmas morning I woke up nice and early, I was quite eager to see what Santa Paws had brought. Mom was adamant I go outside first, so I had to sit and wait for her to get ready before we could head outside. Boy, I've never been in such a hurry to get back inside!
Once we were back inside, I got a good look at our tree and all the gifts that Santa Paws brought for ME! Mom and Dad didn't do gifts for each other this year, so all those gifts under the tree are all for ME!
Here's a closer look at all of my loot. Mom wrapped most of the edible treats as she knew I would be willing to open those. The rest stayed unwrapped as I tend to eat the paper while I unwrap! He he!! Don't mind my deflated basketball. Dad pumped it up the next day.

I being a true foodie, headed right towards the oh so yummy rawhide's! They may be wrapped, but I know what's under that paper!
Mmmmmm, candy cane shaped rawhide, now that puts me in the spirit of the season!
Ooohhh, Bully Sticks! I just love those!

Hmmm, what else do I want to sink my teeth into? What's this everlasting treat thingy?
One of my not so exciting gifts was a new dog bed for our living room. This one has a removable cover, so Mom can wash it when it gets all icky. As you can see, I've already had a bone or two on the new bed.
Once we were done unwrapping at home, we cleaned up and headed over to Grandma and Grandpa's house. I immediately charged the tree, trying to find my gifts. I kept grabbing gifts marked for Spencer which left Spence not so happy with me. Ooopps! Grandma helped me out and made sure the gifts I opened were just for me. Wow, this is one huge beef knuckle!
Anything else under there for me? Anything with for Kirby on the tag? Anything??????
Before we ate dinner, Dad, Uncle John, Spencer and I went outside to play with Dad's remote control car. He loves to mess with Spencer and I with that car! It drives me crazy, it zips up and hits my legs and doesn't back down when I bark at it!

Spencer and I were both barking like crazy at the car, so of course we had to wrassle with one another a bit too!
Spencer is much braver than I am, he quietly stalked the car and then grabbed it. He's one tough doggie!
Christmas at Grandma and Grandpa's is a major dogapalooza. Not only are Spencer and I there, but Mom's uncle brings his two Huskies, Bailey and Stormy. Here is Stormy with her brother, Rich. Stormy and I have the BEST time together. We wrassle and play bitey face non stop.
After all that fun and food, I was wiped out and settled down for a Christmas nap. Mom said I slept the whole ride home, just like a little puppy!
I hope all my dog, cat and hammie friends all had a wonderful Christmas. I'm so grateful that we all are loved and have warm homes to spend the holidays in. Merry Christmas to you all! Now, we should get going, Mom has to sew up some of the stuffies that I got yesterday. I performed some emergency surgery. He he he!

'Till Next Time,

Kirby
