Happy Birthday, Bitch!

Maggie!  Not Fred! 

Yep, today is the demon dog's birthday.  She's six years old!  And I couldn't care less.  But on Monday, Fred emailed this to my Calendar.

	Going? Yes - Maybe - No

Hiding from my camera. 

And then Fred told me to blog about it.  And I asked, "Seriously?"  He said that I had to.  And so I said "Fred, if I do, I'm going to get all kinds of comments from DogBloggers.  Those people are nuts!  They write as if their animals are talking.  I'll see comments like "Woof, Woof!" and "You can bark up my tree anytime, baby!"  And he just stood there staring at me like that's a "normal" thing to do.  Just then, I remembered that Fred is a DogPerson and if he were to have a personal blog, he would be King of the DoggieBloggers.

So I said okay and I set out to take some snapshots of Maggie to post.  We couldn't find a party hat so I tried sticking a bow on her head to make her look more festive.  She didn't like that one bit and kept knocking it off.  So Claire volunteered to show that it wouldn't hurt her.

After a few shots, I was able to get something.

That's her happy face.   Or sad one.  Who cares!

But then she ran off and Fred tried coxing her back with some cheese.

She wasn't going for it.  So, Claire stepped in again to show her how it's done.

Sit!  Good girl! 

After about two minutes, because that's all the patience that I have with dogs at 7:30 at night, Fred gathered the children over for a "sort of" Family photo.  Sadly, this one was the best out of the batch.

It is what it is.

For better or for worse, that's what every evening looks looks like at our place.  I just watch the clock waiting for it to be  8 o'clock!  And I think Maggie was ready to call it a day too.

Happy Birthday, you Nutball!

There's your blog post Fred.  Happy?

Your Friend, m.
