Happy 12th Birthday to ME!

It’s been a slow, boring winter but today it’s a tad exciting!  It’s my 12th birthday!  Not that getting old is much to be excited about BUT I DID get some cheese, bison jerky and some green tripe treats so far today!  My Mom has apologized to me that she forgot to buy me a birthday gift this past weekend when she and my little pain in the butt, sister Haley, went downstate last weekend.  And imagine, she left me home!  Oh well…I got in lots of snoozing while they were gone but I told her she MUST make up for the fact she forgot to buy me a toy!

Cold January day...
See, I have a 'spring' to my step!

I am thankful to be relatively healthy and still hoppin’ around though..  But since this past fall, I have slowed down a tad more(maybe I’m in hibernation mode), my eyesight has been giving me ‘fits’ now and then with shadows, Mom helps me up the ramp these days as I occasionally fall going up it and it scares the ‘bejesus’ out of me and my hearing ain’t what it used to be…even with these big ears, you’d think that would be NO issue! 🙂  I am also sleeping “like a rock” and scared Mom the other day when I didn’t wake up when she was putting in my mouth my cancer remedy at night…she had to shake me a little bit…no worries, Mom…you just tired me out with my PT workout that night!  That’s my excuse anyway and I’m stickin’ to it.

 Mom showin’ you my gray hairs! Pfftt Mom, you have more than me!

It’s been a cold and pretty snowless winter so far but we have some headed our way.  With any luck at all, our winter trails will get better and I can get out and do some “deer hunting” on them soon!  I DO love the cooler temps – puts a spring in my step 🙂

Well, not much else happenin’ on my birthday yet…maybe I’ll get a surprise later this week when Mom goes to town shoppin’!  She’d better or I’ll sass her some more!  I’m REAL good at that 🙂

‘Til next time, keep on hoppin’!

Maggie was diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma on her left knee. She had amputation done on October 20, 2009. Four days after surgery she had a low grade fever and was off her food for two weeks! Trying times.. I am grateful and so pleased with how she is progressing now.

  3. Happy Birthday Maggie moo!!!! I love the eyebrows. My Maggie’s little sis Tani is now 11.5, and her face looks like yours- maybe a bit grayer. And Tani is deaf now too so we have to do hand signals- and I have had to check Tani a couple times when she was asleep… just to make sure.
    I hope you have a great day- January birthdays are the best, but I am a bit biased.

  4. Cool! Happy Birthday pretty Maggie! You know, I love your beauty mark there on the left side of your snoot. I don’t have one (a beauty mark I mean) but I guess boys don’t need them.

    Thank you for the excuse to keep the party going. Since it’s my ampuversary and your birthday, I will lobby hard for a bunch of goodies!

    Love, Dakota

  8. Happy 12th Birthday, Maggie! You look pawsome! We are definitely celebrating with you – Mom promised some cheese, but said she doesn’t have any tripe. That’s my favorite, too!
    Hugs,
    Holly and Zuzu (oh, yeah – Mom said she wishes you many more happy, hoppy birthdays!)

  9. Maggie, you’re so pretty! You are 12 years young!! Keep hopping! Treats always encourage hoppy behavior!

  10. HAPPY BDAY MAGGIE!!!!! You are amazing! At your age, you have still a bunch of spring in your step!!! ps…yes, Mom has more grey so bite her! LOL 😉

  11. Chloe and I are wishing you a hoppy belated 12th birthday!!! Chloe and Mags are just about one year apart! Her birthday is next month :). Also loved the video of you and Maggie talking to eachother. Hearing you talk to Maggie reminded me of Chloe and I, we do it all the time. And we have eerily similar conversations. Only Chloe howl/whines/sings when she talks to me.

    So hoppy to see Maggie continue to kick cancer’s butt and age gracefully!!
