Hi, My name is Finnegan and I am 4 years old!

Today I turned FOUR.
My girl human had a hard time comprehending this one.
She insisted that I was going to be THREE all weekend long, but boy human explained that I was almost ONE  when I got here and had my first birthday party with them.
Then my baby humans came along and I was TWO.
And they turned TWO this year, so that means last year I turned THREE.
And now,today, I am in fact, FOUR(or 28'ish in dog years).
This proves time flies when you're having fun, right?!!!!
Phew.... that was a lot of explaining.

So anyway, before I got out of bed this morning my little humans were busy making me birthday cards and when I did finally wake up, race down the hallway and paused at the top of the staircase, with huge giggly smiles they both turned and  shouted in their brokentwoyearoldhumanspeak" HappyBirfDayFinEEEEEEEgin!!!!!!!!"loud enough for the entire neighborhood to hear.

My girl human took a candid shot of one making me a card with all of our favorite things on it(balloons,bows,stars,clouds,sun,smiley faces,seashells with pearls and cupcakes...and orange crayons! though the yellow ones taste best) maybe that's why there's no yellow in the card ---oh yeah, I forgot "we" ate it.

And let's not forget my special cake from the great folks at Dog City Bakery!!!!

The little humans even dressed up later in special birthday dresses but wouldn't stay still long enough for a photo op. maybe next year.

Hope you have a great day like me!

Happy Friday, Arbor Day, Birthday, Busy Day

Today I had a chance to read.
Read a lot.
Read all about the goings on at  PRONC , as the most recent newsletter came out today. It's always fun seeing what's going on in the world of other pugs.
Read an email that my little humans had a new future playmate born this morning. Welcome to the world Sydney Lea. My girl human says maybe we can go have a double playdate since Sydney has two doggies of her own waiting for her to arrive home from the hospital. I love playing with other doggies!!!! And Oooooh brand new baby toes too,yummmm :-p
So in honor of Sydney's birthday we sent her a tree! After all it IS Arbor Day and a tree is something  the whole family can enjoy - even  the doggies! (get it doggies, trees,hee hee hee)
Last but not least, you can see me  reading one of my little humans' books - yup, it has been a busy day!

Let Sleeping Dogs Lie.....

today it rained

yesterday it rained
it might rain again tomorrow
so no use going outside to get my paws wet
especially when I can exercise a perfectly good nap.

Wishful Thinking....

OK.... so there are days when things don't go your way, this was not going to be one of them for me.

I have shared all of my toys...

been told not to sleep on their toys...

told not to eat the food they spill...

told to sit...

stay...

wait...

and now that they have some more words in their vocabulary am told "NoNoFin" on a constant basis whenever I'm in their space, regardless of whether or not I moved into it or they moved their space to where I was previously minding my own beeswax.

But this day, I just knew the Easter Bunny hid that one orange egg with Finnegan cookies in it just for ME, didn't he......? PWeeeze....? I know they're in there.....
