Hi; my name is Lizzie. Really, it is Sweet Elizabeth of Highland, but my masters call me Lizzie, or Lizzie Goose, or Lizzie Goosie, or Lizzie Goosie-Magoose (from a previous marriage). Ashley thought that I should tell you something about myself because today is my birthday. Today I am 77 dog-years old.
I am a Labrador. You know how I know I’m a Labrador? Because my momma was a Labrador, my momma’s momma was a Labrador, my momma’s momma’s momma was a Labrador, and my momma’s, momma’s momma’s momma was an old old Labrador.
As a Labrador, I’m a sportin’ dog, not a workin’ dog (I found about that in Lab School). So, people want me to fetch, or clean up something. I would, but I’m a sportin’ dog, not a workin’ dog.
I used to run around the neighborhood, and when it rained, I would run through the ditch with my nose in the water, but I quit doing that because my legs don’t run any more.
I like to sleep on my back. I am told that I snore bad, but it doesn’t bother me, I do it aaaalllll the time.
I got a question. Why is it that people stay gone so long? Ever day they go out and don’t come home till late at night, if they even come home then. I stay home aaaaalllll the time. Why don’t they?
When I was younger, we had a little dog here, her name was Belle. Belle was not so nice. She said that she was the Grand Poobah of the I Hate Labradors Society”. I don’t think that Belle was really mean; she just talked like she was.
Things I don’t care for.
I don’t care for boomers. Boomers come around, and they make me real nerbous. Then, when I get real nerbous, grandma fusses about me drooling on the floor, so I have to lay real real still. Then the boomers go away.
I don’t care for cats. Cats are too cool for my taste. Cat’s, taste, hmmmmm….
I don’t care for rides in cars. You can’t be too careful.
I really don’t care for rides in cars to the beternarium. I can’t start to tell you how mean that guy is. Great smells there though.
I don’t care for baths. Belle use to say “There’s nothing good about a bath”. I didn’t think so at first. But Belle was right.
Things I do care for.
I care for all my masters. (Especially Ma) She gives me treats. All I have to do is wait for them to sit down when they have a cup of smoking water in their hand, and I ask them for treats. She will allllways get it.
I care for treats.
I care for back scratches. Whoo – Hooo
I care for tenni balls. Tenni balls are one of the best things that there is.
So, for my 77th birthday
I’m Lizzie the Labrador. When I sleep, I sometimes snore. You know I don’t mean to, but I try to … whatever. I’m Lizzie the Labrador.
Good day everbudy.
Special Thanks to my guest blogger Lizzie (as told by PaPa).
