Dog Days

Every day in my house is a dog day. My schedule seems to run around them. They get up me between 8 and 9 every morning, hungry. They demand food at 3 pm, and if I am not here, Molly will go in a cupboard and drag out Tupperware and chew it up. Once she ate a candle because I was late for her dinner. They expect treats at 6 pm. You can set your clock by their eating habits. Beagles are bottom-feeding food sharks and will gladly eat until they explode, if allowed.

But today they might have to follow my schedule as I choose it. Today is my birthday and I will do what I want. I will be going with my daughter to her boyfriend's restaurant for dinner, where I will eat seafood until I explode (the beagles taught me well). I might even take along my new camera, if I figure out how to use it. Then we are going to a nightclub to listen to good, loud, dance music. Actually, it might be techno or house, but any of them will work for me. I will get home very late.

Of course, I will be up between 8 and 9 tomorrow morning, no matter what...

        Suzy,  Happy Birthday!  Enjoy your seafood tonight, but please don't explode.    I'm getting a vision of  a  Lobster bursting from your stomach like in
"Alien" LOL, no, seriously, totally enjoy your meal, and  tell us what delicious food you had at the restaurant!

Best wishes,

I loved this entry, Suzy!  My own beast knows that she gets a treat first thing in the morning after going out, that she is fed at 2:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. (her vet says that with a high metabolism to feed twice), and that she gets a 'greenie' before going to bed.  She's better than an alarm clock, and only slightly less irritating - she'll sit by my feet, looking up, umoving and sphinx-like until she is fed.....I'm pretty sure she'd find a way to penalize me if she isn't given her food, prepared as SHE likes it.... - Davida

Happy Birthday, Suz. I'm glad you're going out to celebrate. Seafood and dancing. How bad could that be? Take pictures! Many happy returns. As long as it's not in the form of lobster reflux.

Happy Birthday Honey,

Yes today is your day.  Eat the seafood for me too and enjoy the lobster and steak.  Dance for me too.  I just love house music.  You are so cool and I love you to pieces.

Don't drink too much and don't drive if you do drink.  I don't want to read about you in the newspapers.  We all care about you.

Hugs,
Anita

I hope you had a GREAT birthday! :)

Yes, I've heard that about beagles, that they will eat themselves to death if they are given the chance!
