Milking It

So, I see Chadwick spilled the beans! I guess he snuck on line while I was napping. Yes, I've been a little under the weather lately and am having some problems, but I'm a fighter and am still hanging in there. So don't fret, the Princess still has the energy to share her wisdom with you. Today's lesson, milk it while you can!

Ever notice when you're not feeling well, how much love and attention you get? I mean, I get love and attention anyway, but when I'm not feeling so well, I get extra special attention. So you got to milk it while you can. For example, they put me on this bland, really bland, diet for a while. Well after three days of eating the same bland dog food, I was over it! I mean mom doesn't eat the same thing every single day, why should I? So you know what, I refused to eat it for a day or so. And guess what? The next morning, I got a fresh grilled chicken breast! Now I don't have to tell you how much better that is than the dog food. After a couple days of the chicken breast, I grew tired of it too. So once again, I stopped eating. And you know what, I got steak on Saturday night! Yuuuummmmmyyyyy! But I'm getting tired of the steak already. I'm thinking now maybe, I'll get upgraded to fillet mignon. Preferably served on a silver platter with a little Cabernet sauce. Sound delicious doesn't it? But hey, I deserve it.

So my advice to you, milk it when you can. But remember don't go overboard. A little fun and games is fine, but you don't want to toy with their emotions. You know how emotionally fragile people can be.

Hugs and kisses to all my fans. Keep the love coming. I really appreciate all your support during my time of need. Feel free to send me some fillet mignon or have a pizza delivered right to my door. Thoughts and love are great, but good food is the best.

The Princess Needs Your Prayers

Hey, it's me Chadwick. I know I'm not supposed to be on this blog and the Princess would kill me if she knew I was, so please don't tell her. But I know the Princess has a lot of fans out there and she needs your support right now. See she's not feeling too well. She's been down and out for several days. She was starting to feel a little better, but now she's not.

As you know, she's no spring chicken but she is a fighter. She's one tough cookie and she's trying to hang in there. So please send her all your good thoughts and good vibes. I need her to get better again. I know she doesn't seem to like me much, but I like her and I need my seeing eye dog. I mean I've been bumping in to things right and left the last few days.

Thank in advance for your support. I'm hoping one day soon, she'll be growling at me again. I actually kind of miss her picking on me.

Allow me to introduce myself

My name is Abigail, although personally I prefer Princess Abby. I live, make that rule, a household in Los Angeles. I have a big backyard to play in, a couch to sleep on, and lots of love. I'm on my 3rd, yes 3rd, male companion. My first bud was Sherlock and he taught me everything. I was just six weeks old when I met him. He was five, so he knew everything. He took me under his wing and looked after me until the day he died. He died a week before his 13th birthday. That was almost 5 years ago and I still miss him. He was a special dude and for 8 years, we spent every minute of every day together. I was really lonely after I lost my best bud. So mom decided I needed another friend. In walks Brutus. Now Brutus was nothing like Sherlock. He'd had a really rough life but he didn't want to share what he knew of the world. He said his past was just too ugly and he wanted to forget it. He was just grateful to have nice place to sleep and people who loved him. He followed my mom around everywhere. He would never let her out of his sight. At first I was a little jealous, well a lot jealous. But then I realized he didn't grow up getting the kind of love and attention that I did, so I let him have the spotlight. I wound up learning a lot from him. I learned how to be grateful for the things I had. I'd grown up having it all so I didn't really appreciate anything. Brutus however was grateful for everything. I learned that the more love I give, the more I get back in return. He was a very special friend but unfortunately he got really sick and our time together was cut short. My heart ached after Brutus was gone. What was wrong with me that my two best buds had to leave me? As I sat feeling sorry for myself, mom pulled up in the Jeep and out jumped Chadwick. Now let me tell you about Chadwick. Chadwick walked in like he owned the place. He walked around like he was royalty or something. I don't know who he thought he was, but I quickly put him in his place. I established myself as the alpha dog in this household. He challenged me at first, but he finally acquiesced. Now Chadwick is a pain in my ass. I mean that literally. You see he's blind. I don't just mean he can't see well, the dog has no eyes. It's kind of freaky if you ask me. It is kind of funny though to watch him bump into things. He gets around by his sense of smell. Now let me translate that for you. It means he walks around with his snout stuck up my butt! Now you may laugh and you may think it's cute, but let me tell you, it's annoying as hell! I'll admit, he's quite a looker but boy does he bug. He gets on my nerves to no end. So the reason I tell you all this is so that you'll realize how much experience I have with love, with friendship, with life. I know I'm not getting any younger and I realize that after twelve years in this crazy world it's time I do something to give back. So I've decided my legacy will be to pass on my hound wisdom to all who are willing to listen. So please read my ramblings, my rants, my observations. You just might learn something.
