So Many Things To Tell You

Man, things have been crazy around here for several days. First of all, I got a package from one of my bestest friends, Lorenza, last week. A couple weeks ago, I emailed her and asked if she could tell me where she got the pattern for her dresses. My grandma saw them and said she wanted to make some for me and made me promise to ask. Lorenza said they don't have a pattern but if I sent my measurements she would ask her grandma to make a pattern for me. So, Mom measured me, I sent them off to Lorenza and my package came last week. To my surprise, not only did I have a pattern in the package but Lorenza and her grandma made a dress for me as a birthday present. Wasn't that nice? It fits perfectly and I absolutely love it! I never knew I looked so good in yellow polka dots....Secondly, as I mentioned previously, Baxter came and stayed over the weekend. As you know, I am used to being the queen around here so I don't really like other dogs in my house. Since Baxter is our neighbor, I try to be nice and tolerate him. He was in trouble quite a bit while he was here...I found that to be funny! He bit Momma and made her bleed on Friday. I didn't find that to be funny. Mom told me that we still had to be nice to him even if we didn't like what he did. I was soooo glad to have my house back on Sunday afternoon. Baxter is cute but he doesn't have very good manners, he even tinkled on the floor. Mom and Dad said he has not been trained very well and that makes them sad. They think he could be a very good dog if someone took the time to teach him how to be good. I think his eye color is strange...I don't know if you can tell in the photos but one eye is blue, the other one is mostly brown but the top part is blue. Weird, huh?

Hey, what is he doin' sunnin' himself on MY blanket?

This is an exceptionally rare photo of Baxter and I together. Don't get used to it. I don't know if Mom and Dad will let him come and spend the night anymore....guess we will have to wait and see. I'm keepin' my paws crossed that they don't....shhhhh, don't tell!

So, I got the house to myself Sunday evening, Monday, and most of the day Tuesday. Tonight after Momma and Daddy got home from work, Uncle David and Aunt Shannon came over with another dog!!! What is going on? I don't understand....are they replacing me or going to get rid of me? Momma said we are going to be "foster parents" to this little guy. I don't care what we are...I don't like it!
I'm not sure how much of this I believe but this is how his story goes:
He was adopted out of my vet clinic about a year ago and was around 5 months old. Last week, the man who adopted him brought him back and said he was aggressive toward old people. I think that is crazy. Anyway, since Mom and Dad have experience with doxies and Aunt Shannon works at the vet, they asked us to foster him till next week. The vet wants us to let them know if he is adoptable and how he interacts with others. His name is Scooter and even I have to admit he is pretty cute. He looks like my brother, Max, that I never got to meet.

Here is a photo of me and Scooter together....just before I told him who was boss! He kept trying to get me to play with him.
Hey, Scooter! I don't want to play with you!

I'm a little worried that Scooter might come to live here forever. I don't know what to do about that....any ideas from you guys?

Whew! That was a long post. And to think, I was worried I was gonna run out of things to post about.
