Happy Birthday, Harley!

To my Best Friend, and Brother: Happy Birthday, Harley! I love you! Geez, I remember when you were just a little puppy chasing me around and now you are a dog- who is bigger than me! I hope your birthday is filled with Blueberry Muffins!
P.S. I still have another post for you... I just need to type it up

It's Thursday...

So that means Hercules is coming over... I hope he doesn't try to bark at me to play with him... again.

It's such a nice day. I think I'll relax. I'm working on a new post, so expect some longer ones soon! In the meantime, here are some new pictures... my Mom is seriously thinking about investing in a new camera because her cell phone pictures are not turning out good...



Here I am sitting "outside" (in-closed patio)


Looking outside. We use to have a tree in front of this window, but it died =(


My Mom kept trying to get me to pose, so I went for the serious look


I was making sure Hercules wasn't trying to come out


Relaxing...


Smelling the air!

It's Fall!

I woke up feeling very content on a wonderful Fall morning


Fall is my favorite season! I love it! My Mom opens my window for me every morning and I love to smell the fresh, cool air. What's even better is when it's fall and winter, my Mom plugs in my special heating pad on my window seat! So, I get to sleep on a nice toasty window seat while the Fall air swirls through the window! I love it.

There is nothing better than being cuddled in blankets on a nice cozy Fall day. I love fluffy, soft blankets, and love it even more when Fall and Winter comes because my Mom adds lots of blankets to the bed. One of my favorite things to do is to dig a hole in the blankets and then crawl in it to sleep!


I crawled under the blankets and slept cozily as the cool air filled the room

The photo quality isn't that good- but can you tell how comfy I am?
