The key to living a happy life is to always live it like you’re a child. Or a dog.

Howdy blogaroos!! It’s a terrific Tuesday. It also happens to be World Penguin Day, World Malaria Day, National Zucchini Bread Day, National Crayon Day and MOST importantly- it’s my BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! Yessiree. This pandemic puppy is officially leaving the Terrible Twos and entering the Thrilling Threes!!! Yee haw!

The past year has been a busy one – spending lots of time practicing my obedience skills. But if you suddenly arrived at our house, rang the doorbell and came in, you would swear I haven’t been to a single class – nor have I spent hours training weekly. As a result , I still haven’t done much competition in the last year- except for my place on the Shaggy Team last Fall. Which was great fun – and we even won the competition one day! Even with me on the Team!

This year I have really begun to expand my culinary tastes – I happily eat almost everything. Except lettuce. That’s like gum – chew it and spit it out.

I’ve taken up Viktor’s favorite sport – bunny chasing – but I have yet to catch one. I’m not sure I mentioned this – but I’m also a very keen bird dog – I love to flush pheasants. They make almost as big a racket as Frodo when they go flying.

I have become a watchdog extraordinaire. I am usually the leader in sounding the alarm if anyone dares to enter our property.

I’ve also expanded my hair styling skills this past year. I have one regular client and another who occasionally requests my services.
