When You Care Enough to Send the Very Best - Dozer

Mum let me open my package from Emmitt this morning and I got a magic button with my picture on it! We read the note and then Mum took a picture for my blog and now we are discussing whether to hang my magic button on my collar or pin it to my cage. Thank you Emmitt and Melissa - you are so thoughtful during my time of confinement.

In an effort for full disclosure and transparency (that sounds grown-up doesn't it?) and because so many of you suggested I was perhaps exaggerating my desperate situation, Mum is making me share the following:

1. I am not starving to death. I am 4 pounds overweight and I cannot exercise right now. I get baby carrots for snackies and dog cookies twice a day, plus meals.

2. I am not locked in the cage most of the time. Mum lets me sit in her chair in the family room or on the floor in the art room. I only get locked up when the vacuum cleaner is on the prowl.

3. Cooper is not poopy-head and has been very nice to me during my surgery time. He slept by my cage when I came home so I would not be lonely.

4. I have gotten to sleep on the bed with Mum and Cooper four 4 nights.

5. My imagination tends to run wild and Mum says this can be most unbecoming.

I would like to say the above was made under extreme duress and does not necessarily reflect the true feelings of the corgi in question.

Now where the he** are my mini-meatloafs?

Presents! Presents! But Not All For Me - Dozer

Melissa and Emmit at Pugnotes (click here) sent us three beautiful cards of ourselves! Melissa, with the assistance of Emmit, paints pugs (one of Mum's favorite breeds) but she also does the bestest corgis and cocker spaniels - says Mum.

As you can see, M&E definitely captured the real moi (that is "me" in French, at least I hope it is. Cooper told me it was but it might mean "smells like fish soup" knowing Coop.) I had hoped Melissa would put stars in my eyes but Mum said that perhaps M&E didn't have me in mind when they painted it. I don't think so.

As you can see, M&E really are not very good artists. First off, Cooper (below) is not this good looking and he doesn't pose at all. (Mum is pulling on her hair now). Mum says they are wonderful artists and this is not necessarily Cooper but representative of his breed. Well, whatever it is, it definitely looks like a Cocker Spaniel but Cooper is much uglier and smells funny.

Now the next picture (below) is where M&E ran into some real problems which is not surprising since it is Dottie. First off, Dottie is not that good-looking (see notes above on Cooper) and second, M&E have made her look totally innocent which she is not. Her eyes should be bright red (devil eyes) and she should be drooling or at least have grass hanging out of her mouth. (Mum is now hitting her head against the wall, whatever that means)

Mum says Melissa and Emmit are really good artists and no one should listen to me (not!). Now Mum is ranting something about it not being all about me (whatever!) but I think we all know if it isn't about me, then what is the point? Exactly.

Anyway, Mum says you should see all the other neat stuff Melissa makes and sells - plus M&E are having a giveaway but you will want to enter right away because the drawing is on Friday. Go to their blog by clicking here and then scroll down to see the giveaway entry.

Mum has to get to work and I need my first beauty nap of the day...because really, it is all about me.
