Toby's Birthday Party is Here!

Hello, and I welcome you, and Toby welcomes you!

Forgive the fuzzy little rat if he jumps up on you and runs in circles.

If you have a treat he'll sit, lay down and roll over.

Toby might come if you whistle, kind of like "there's a 50% chance of rain." What does that mean, anyway?!

I wish he could meet you and or your pets in person; he is quite the social butterfly, unlike his owner who has bought the biggest walnut in the world and is likely to be found hiding inside the shell.

I have heard people say, 'If you want to meet people, then buy a dog'....this is true. I can't tell you the number of people we have stopped to talk with while taking jaunts downtown. It is very theraputic; everyone loves a dog.

Unless it is frothing.

So far, here is the guest list: Baino Bimbimbie Kimy Mrsupole... we'll be allllll day!

Thanks for coming, and enjoy your weekend. Toby and I will spend Sunday morning enjoying the Australian Open final, and chewing up dish towels.

Toby's Birthday Party!

He's gonna be ONE!!!! And you are all invited.

If you have a pet, bring your pooch, or kitty, or pot bellied pig, or yodeling llama.
Toby's Birthday is the 26th, but we'll celebrate this weekend (don't want to clash with Australia Day!)--hope you can all make it...leave a comment and I'll link to you on Sat/Sunday.

We'll have cake and ice cream and a juicy can of whatever's on tap (alpo?) and chew toys and a pull rope and an empty water bottle or two, to gnaw up and hide under the couch, and chew sticks and squeeky balls and a sock, because there's nothing more fun than playing 'I got the sock, Chase Me!', and we'll leave the back door open even if it is 25 and snowing out, so everyone can come and go as they please and get all snow covered and track mud onto the carpet and the furniture, and go on walks and poop wherever--cause it's a special day!

Bring yourself, bring a friend, byob!

Toby Looooooooovvvvvvvves company!

see ya there, animals!

Experimenting with Roman Numerals Day XXeight

I was out walking and found myself way out by the gigantic big Happy Birthday sign on Marvelous Bob's Hill last week . You know , the hill where Bob rolled the Guiness record ? He was contused for a month . They named a hill after him and on his birthday erected a huge sign kind of like the Hollywood sign , only smaller . There was a lot of activity going down as i wandered there so i took out an old card i had in my pocket and sat down and sketched this scene , right down to the aliens that were hiding behind trees to the guys in the hazmat suits . I like Bob's Hill , especially all the plastic bushes and fake flowers ... it is a place you can enjoy ALL YEAR LONG ! Even the astro turf is green ... and there are sun lamps . You should see it ; give the county notice and they'll clear out all the bums for a couple hours .Enjoy .
