Do I Smell Portuguese Buns?!

Sticking with the theme of stuff that I like, I thought I would let you know that I have a thing for Portuguese buns. A HUGE thing. The first time I discovered them, I was playing Lord of the Rings Monopoly with my BFF Trish.

Wow. What a fun night that was. Games AND discovering a new tasty treat. Mom brought them out to have with soup and homous, neither of which were very interesting to me. But the buns. Let me tell you. They were soft and sweet and fluffy. And not in a dry way. In an "I need to gobble this all up right now" way. When I thought no one was looking , I quickly grabbed one...

Everyone was so surprised they didn't take it away from me. Well...until I had eaten half of it. There was talk of me getting sick or something. I don't know. I wasn't listening. Just trying to figure out how to get my bun back.

So, now, every time mom and dad bring home Portuguese buns, I get one. Not all at once, mind you. But over the course of a few days, I get my very own bun. 

Here's how it goes...

1. A bowl of buns are placed in front of me and I get to choose the one I want. (Not as easy as it sounds. I have fine-tuned my bun-choosing skills to pick out the biggest and best)

2. Quickly eat as much as I can before it gets taken away.

3. Ensure my bun gets wrapped up tight so it doesn't get dry. It's also important to have my bun labeled so there is absolutely no confusion as to who it belongs to.

My bun fix has been filled and I'm off to sleep happily knowing there is plenty more for tomorrow :)

Introducing...Cocktail Wiener Dog!

I want to tell you all about the things that make me happy. There are so many different things I like, and we'll get to each of them eventually. Today I want to tell you about my wiener dog friend. I guess you could also call him a "toy" but mom and dad like to refer to him as my friend. And, I think this is pretty accurate because I always like to have him with me.

My BFF, Trish, gave him to me for XMAS and I love him! (Thanks Trish!!) When I first got him, he smelled REALLY yummy!! I actually found him under the tree before XMAS. I couldn't wait until the 25th so mom and dad let me open my prezzie early. Yippee!! We had lots of fun racing around with each other. Unfortunately, things got a little rough one day and wiener dog lost an ear...

Uh oh! He's fine though. It adds character, don't you think??

So now I'm a little more gentle with him. I don't want him to lose another appendage (although his left ear is looking a little ratty tatty...) Now, I usually just use him as a pillow when I sleep. I like having my head raised.

So that's my friend. He's pretty cool. Oh, and if you enlarge the top photo and look closely, you'll see mom and dad taking pictures of me!
