my birthday celebration started friday night:


i got a beautiful present from petra, who wrote a special poem just for ME! can you read it?


it says:
I am glad
not mad
That your birthday is here
not there
Now you are 6
and we are a good mix

Kissy lick,
I love you
P. Pie

isn't that GREAT?! while massah was reading it to me, look who came in behind for a sneak attack on MY gift!


never fear, i scared the little naked chinese man away and then look what i found! it's a stuffie and a tug toy, all in one! and i love it.


but... look what else was in there! a mug full of treats for me (massah says SHE gets to keep the mug, whatever). they're delish!


at this point in the celebration, all heck broke loose. guess who showed up? here is the next part of the story in pictures:






this video is very dark, but you're able to hear how strongly i was defending myself and my posessions.


all in all, it was a perfect start to a celebratory weekend! i'll fill you in on massah's additions to the festivities later; evidently i wasn't clear enough in the terms of our agreement... but that's another story for another day. thanks, petra pot pie and motch!

happy birthday to ME!!!!!

massah said we are not celebrating until the weekend.


i told that was okay on one condition: she has to give me 5 presents per hour my birthday celebration is delayed. i'll be racking up the presents for 2 or 3 days - i'll probably have so many that i won't know what to do with all of them!

the little one

please keep my little niece petra in your thoughts and prayers... there was a small complication during her de-girling surgery this morning and she needs happy vibes. she'll be okay, but it's going to take her a few days to recover - i'll let her tell you about it in a day or so.

and here we are in happier times, because posts without pictures just aren't as fun.

so...

what have i been doing since christmas, you ask? let me show you:




and of course i have to YELL real loudly at people walking by.


and then they think that closing the blinds will comfort and console me. HA.


i can peek around them!


then they try to get really sneaky....


nope - can't fool me with those silly old blinds!



and then i get in LOTS of trouble....
