Man, my July 4th birthday was all it was cracked up to be! So far so good with the fireworks...but it's still daylight. I may have to try to comfort Lucy and Xena later on tonight. I'll just remind Mom about the CBD oil and valerian. That should do it!
My day started off with a great walk around the neighborhood with my folks and Lucy and Xena. I was hoping I'd see my friend Pam or my friend Ron but it must have been too early for them to be out.
Around noon Mom surprised us all with meaty raw beef rib bones. OMD! They were so good!!! Lucy chewed hers up and ate it all before me and Xena had even gotten all the meat off ours. I kept mine hidden outside and chewed on it off and on all day. Finally Mom traded me a treat for the little bit that was left. Deal!
Then, just before all the folks sat down to eat their holiday feast Mom gave me my present to dig out of a bag!
At first I thought the thing was a mop head. I thought, "What the heck, a mop head might be fun to play with, right?" Then I got it clear out and started to smell treats. Even the best mops don't smell like treats...
On the back of the mop head were little X-es that were cut open with a treat in each one. Later, Mom confessed to having put them there. Here's what the insert said about what I found out wasn't a mop:
Eddie the Eel
"Eddie is not your ordinary dog toy; he's a daring deep-sea explorer! With his flexible body that can be rolled and twisted, Eddie loves to surprise your furry friend with hidden treats cleverly tucked away in his lifelike fish scales...the mop-like velvet fabric isn't just soft and huggable, it's also great for cleaning your pup's teeth as they explore his unique texture."
So his name is Eddie and he's an eel and he's my new toothbrush that sometimes gives me treats. Hmmm. At least he screams when I bite him!
Then I went back to the bag, thinking I'd missed something, and sure enough, there was another stuffie in there! (And that weird thing on the front of my collar is a Gee Pee Ess tracker. I can't run off anywhere without them knowing and finding me!)
Back to my present number 2. A duck. Hmmm. Looks like a dead duck to me.
Hey, Mom, is this duck dead? I found it that way. I didn't do it!
Come on, I"ll take you..wait! You're screaming! And making crinkly noises! Hey, you might be fun to play with after all! I think I"ll call you Howard.
"Yawn" It's been a good day...
Taking a nap with Howard and Prayer Bear
...I wonder what we'll do tomorrow...
