This was my newspaper column for last week's paper. Wanted to share it with all my friends!
Happy Father's Day All!
Dog Blog, June 17
This coming Sunday is Father’s Day. I just want to tell you all that I have the most wonderful Daddy in the whole entire world.
Our favorite thing to do together is cuddle and watch the TV . Daddy is amazing, he can watch the TV with his eyes closed!
Our next favorite thing to do together is have a snack. Our favorite snack is popcorn. We have to be careful though, cause Mommy doesn’t like us furbabies to have a lot of what she calls junk foods.
Sometimes Daddy takes me along for rides with him. I especially like to go with him in the big bus. If I am lucky he will stop at the market in Mexico and buy me a treat!
I even enjoy it when Daddy just takes me out in the yard with him. Mommy loves to watch me following my daddy. Many times he will stop and look around for me thinking that I am lost, and I am right at his feet. I follow him so closely that he can’t see me.
Not only is my daddy just an all around fun and lovable guy, he tastes good too! I love to lick Daddy. Yes, I am a licker! I lick to fall asleep, I lick when I am scared, I lick when I am happy...well you get the picture. But I especially like to lick Daddy! My favorite spot to lick him used to be on top of his head. For a while he shaved his head, and I just loved to lick there! But I can’t convince him to shave his head now, so I am stuck with his feet!
A funny thing about this licking business...I tried to teach Boogie how to lick properly. He gets his tongue against Daddy’s skin, takes one good swipe...and falls asleep with his tongue plastered to Daddy! What a sight that is. Just goes to show you that licking is indeed a talent!
Anyhow back to Daddy. He loves all of his furbabies and we can tell. When Daddy goes away, as he sometimes has to, he almost always calls home and talks to us on the phone. When I hear his voice, I get so excited!
When Daddy goes to make his music, it usually takes a day before I come away from the window. I sit at the big window in the front of the house and watch and watch. If he is gone for more than one night, I drive Mommy crazy. I sleep with one ear to the driveway and if I hear anything that remotely sounds like the big bus coming, I’m off that bed in a flash. Mommy says when Daddy is away, she gets no sleep at all!
I am so very lucky to have found a good Daddy. There are so many creatures out there that are not so lucky. Sometimes I am bad, but I know Daddy will love me unconditionally. He would never ever give me up. Daddy says Doggies are forever!
So to my Daddy and all the other Dads to either humans or critters...Have a wonderful Father’s Day.
My thought for the week: "In a perfect world, every dog would have a home and every home would have a dog."
