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.

Check out the new pics!

My mom just got some old film developed and found these pictures! Don't I look cute sleeping? Mom tells me I look like a little angel when I sleep and I have to say I agree with her. When mom's right, she's right. There are few more really cute ones of me, but I don't want to post them all just yet. I wouldn't want to overwhelm you with my cuteness. I apologize for making you look at Chadwick, but I'm trying to be nice. He begged and begged me to post one of him too and he caught me in a weak moment, so I agreed to do it. I'll take it down in a few weeks. He'll never know. Well enjoy these pictures. More to come soon.

By the way, I'm working on a website! I'm hoping to have it up and running soon. It's just hard to get it done with my busy schedule. I mean between this blog, eating, napping and bossing mom and Chadwick around, I don't have a whole lot of spare time. But I am working on it when I can and hope to get it up soon. You'll be able to see more pictures of me and buy some cool stuff. I'll let you know when it's up and I do hope you'll check it out.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I can't believe I almost forgot to wish all my fellow hounds a Happy Valentine's Day! Or should I say, Happy Valenhound's Day?! teee, heee, heee. I can be so clever sometimes.

2nd Fiddle Wants to Know...

I got my first email question!

"Help. We have a new hound in the house and I just don't know what to do! I'm scared he'll get all the attention and I won't be the favorite one anymore. Should I be mean and try and scare him off?" 2nd fiddle

Is he being mean to you? If not, don't be mean to him. Do you know his background yet? Is he a puppy, did he come from a shelter? You need to try and understand him a little. He may be happy to just have a home finally. I don't think you have to worry about playing 2nd fiddle. Maybe your parents got him so you would have a friend to play with when they aren't around.

When I first came into my home, I was the "new dog." Sherlock had been in the house for 5 years already. But you know what, he wasn't mean to me. He took me under his wing and showed me the ropes. You could do the same thing for your new hound. Sherlock was my buddy and I owe him a lot. I still miss him everyday. :(

I say give it some time. Get to know the new hound and see how it goes. You may just wind up becoming best buds!

Please keep me posted.

Abbyisms

I'm in a reflective mood today, so I've been doing some thinking. I've decided to pass on some of my thoughts to you, my loyal fans. Let's call these "Abbyisms."

Abbyism #1 - A fool and his money are a hound's best friend.
Abbyism #12 - Behind every great man, there's a great hound!
Abbyism #15 - Don't bite the hand that feeds you, unless it's trying to push you off the couch!
Abbyism #18 - If at first you don't succeed, lie down and nap.

I hope you enjoy these. More to come.
