Hangin' with my Homies

I had such a good day today!

This is me and my newest chewie: a round, rawhide thingy. OMG, I love it so! Mom and Dad are freaking out because they say it smells "like dirty wet feet."

And, I'm like, "Well, duh! It's made from dead cow skin. Helllllllo?" Honestly, humans have such limited palates. Rawhide is 80-85% protein, 12% fiber, and very low in fat. The eau du toe jam aroma is just an added bonus.

Hey, I had some visitors today! First, Mom's friend Wendy came over with her son, Ben...and they brought me some gifts! Yay! I love gifts!

They gave me a new rope toy, and a furry skunk chew toy with a tennis ball thingy in the middle, and a rubber alligator squeaky toy that scares the crap out of me. It's the thought that counts, though, and that was so nice of them to welcome me so warmly.

Later on, Dad's sister, my Aunt Cathy, came to visit with her husband, Uncle Angelo.

Not to be immodest, but they frickin' LOVED me. They said I reminded them of their dog, Toby, who died several years ago. They were so great...they kept feeding me stuff I'm not supposed have, whenever they thought Mom and Dad weren't looking. Uncle Angelo gave me, like, 6 crackers, and Aunt Cathy kept sneaking me some cheese. They're so naughty! We hit it off right away.

They brought me a present, too: a new bed! It's very soft and cushy, not to mention stylish. Here's a picture of it, along with a sampling of the gifts I've received over the last couple of days:
I know, I'm totally getting spoiled over here. Isn't it great?
