My doppelganger.
I have a new toy which looks like a Westie. Sometimes he is on my mat with my favorite toys. I think I don't like that.

I went to the fountain at Madison Square. Mama came, too.

I wait for dogs to come by and say hello.

I hate the rain. Mama bought me a new rain slicker.

I love my bone.

I had a trip to the groomer.

Here is my new friend Alfie, who lives in my neighborhood and came to play with me. I was very surprised because I never had a real play date before. Alfie is a Pekingese who is my same age almost and is a very sweet boy. We played a lot of games and ran around and I even let him chew my favorite squeaky blue dog toy. I hope Alfie comes to play every day.

Mama surprised me with a dog who came to visit for the whole day! Her name is Savannah and she is a very nice girl and and we had fun the whole time, even if we were just sitting on the sofa.

Mama took me to a street fair. I met a lot of dogs which was good. We don't get any sausages because Mama says they will make us sick. I had my picture taken at the soda booth.

Boodie loved Frankie very much. Frankie is very lonely now. So am I.

So sometimes I sleep with Frankie so we can be lonely together.

I had a terrible bellyache and Mama said it was from too many bones. Now I just have bones Mama cooks and Mama bought me a new toy to make me feel better.

Pig

I have another fine bone. A great big bone.

Today I saw Dr. Mehlman for rabies and kennel cough shots. I hate shots.
She said I have loose kneecaps and should take Cosequin. Also I need to lose weight. I am 18.4 and would be better at 17.

Bacon Madeleines
You will remember that I had a sister and BFF, Boodie who went to heaven to be with her dog mother, Fanny, and Gabby. Boodie liked bacon a lot. We don't have it so much now. Today Mama made bacon and pancakes for breakfast and I had a smidge. It made me think about Boodie. I felt so lonely for her I picked up pink pig and started to cry. Mama thought I was crying for more bacon and I wasn't but she put a piece in my bowl. I tried to share it with pig. It's not the same as having Boodie.

It's been a long winter.

One Ball is good...
...two balls are better.

I relax with pig and blue horse.

Buttons was in the Tartan Parade for Scottish people and dogs.

Here I am greeting my best friend Buttons who I see sometimes on a turn.

Mama took me to Madison Square for a turn. the Shack wasn't open so we didn't have a hamburger.

I was groomed by my new friend Josh at Petco and Mama had to take pictures of me. It is a year since I came from New Jersey to live with Mama.

Here I am, greeting some friends in the snow.

Happy Birthday to Me!
Finally I am one year old, and am not a puppy anymore, although Mama says I will always be her baby.
I had a bath and a special supper of meat and mashed potatoes with a candle in it. Mama said make a wish and then she blew the candle out. I just wished that I could eat the supper.
