I heard Mom say it’s Vally Times Day (almost).  She said something about love and feeling all mushy, she seemed sort of sappy.  I said to her straight up “Mom, don’t be mushy, start exercising again.  You will get rid of those thighs in no time.”  She didn’t laugh and it was almost like she didn’t hear me. Anyway, she’s making cards with hearts on them she is baking things, wrapping them and mailing off to “her little sweethearts” .  Like what am I, chopped liver?  And hey, I’d take chopped liver in celebration of Vally Times Day.

*what. ever !*

So look, while Mom is taking care of a holiday I’m dealing with a whole bunch of stuff.  There’s this new girl in town.  She’s cute and all but really, who wears a pink collar?  That’s her in the picture at the top, her name is Sophie.  She acts all innocent while she is nipping at my tail.  I stand my ground, pretend it doesn’t bother me and growl like a fool when necessary.  When Mom tries to coo and cuddle the little priss I wedge myself between them and nudge nudge nudge until they separate.  Works like a charm every time.  Mom has assured me that we only have to deal with this puppy for three months (an eternity…do you hear me?  an eternity!)

Then there was this guy.  His name is Rory.  He visited for two days.  This kid I can take.  He was rough.  He was aggressive.  He was all man.  Of course, because I like him, he’s gone.  What. Ever. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.

So then we have old man dog ~ Walker.  He came as part and parcel of the Rory package.  Apparently these two bags of bones were being babysat.  HA!  Imagine being babysat at this guys age.

Walker iss okay if you don’t mind old man smell and really bad breath.  I’m talking dissolve your eyelashes bad breath.  No kidding.  Nice fella, but I’m glad he’s gone.  Mom says mt eyelashes will return in no time.

Then there’s this handsome fella.  Well yeah, it’s me.  Moth says it’s Vally Times Day and it’s all about love and every day she says “Lewis Mama Loves You” so I had to slip in a picture of me. Kindly note my beautiful smile.  I am smiling because Sophie will be a memory to me in three months, Rory has left the building and the old man dog is off to the dentist.

Happy Vally Times to you and yours.
