Dear Lilly...
... The dishes with the paw prints are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.
The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Racing me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.
I promise, if you do not sleep right on me you will survive. The bed or couch next to me is just as comfortable, if not more comfortable, as my legs, my lap, my stomac
h, or any other part of my body that you feel is the only place for you to rest your body, but I cannot buy anything bigger than a queen sized bed right now. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the edge of the bed to ensure your comfort. Dogs can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep you know. It i s not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other, stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out on the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm. Also, my pillow is mine, not yours. I paid for it and it is made for people not pooches.
For the last time, there is no secret exit from the bathroom! If, by some miracle, I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, bark, or get your paw under the edge in an attempt to open the door. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years - canine attendance is not required.
The proper order for kissing is: Kiss me first, then go smell your butt or lick whatever you'd like. I cannot stress this enough.
Finally, in all fairness, dear Lilly, I have posted the following message on the front door:
TO ALL NON-PET OWNERS WHO VISIT AND LIKE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT OUR PETS:
(1) They live here...You don't.
(2) If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. That's why they call it 'fur'-niture.
(3) I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
(4) To you, they are animals. To me, they are adopted sons/daughters who are short, hairy, walk on all fours and don't speak clearly.
Remember, dogs are better than kids because they
(1) eat less,
(2) don't ask for money all the time,
(3) are easier to train,
(4) normally come when called,
(5) never ask to drive the car,
(6) don't hang out with drug-using people;
(7) don't smoke or drink,
(8) don't want to wear your clothes,
(9) don't have to buy the latest fashions,
(10) don't need a gazillion dollars for college and
(11) won't go broke
P.S. I took bits and pieces of this from a friend but it's all true. Muah!! Love you Lilly Munch!

A puzzle??? Seriously!!
Ok, so I put a puzzle together on New Years Eve... sue me!! Not much was going on so we did the traditional american celebration....
CHINESE TAKE OUT and A PUZZLE!!
We hung out at my parents, ate chinese food, watched a movie, put a puzzle together, played some Canasta and went to bed. I was tired. Patrick was tired. LILLY WAS ASLEEP.... Her bed time is like 9... Seriously!!

Lilly Munch!
The next member of the family is our little girl, Lilly. She's little, and she's a girl, but not quite what you thin
k... She's our puppy! Lilly is a pure bred miniture dachshund. She's just barely over a year old and is the cutest thing ever. (We're allowed to be biased!) She's so funny and actually quite intelligent for her breed of dog. She plays fetch and tug-a-war and has done quite well with the potty training thing. We also havent' had too many problems with the whole "puppy chewing" thing. She had a few blunders early on, but hasn't done anything too bad ever since. She loves the outdoors and loves other dogs. Most other dogs! :) In fact, she does have a friend. His name is Howard and it's her only stuffed animal she plays with. They have a very interesting relationship, those two! She can be playing rough with the poor guy trying to rip him to shreds and dragging him all over the house, or, and please don't judge her for she's a little strange, she chomp's down on his muzzle and falls asleep right on him kneeding him,
like a cat would do. I know it sounds scrazy and i'll have to post a video for proof. It's the funniest thing I've seen a dog do, truely! Another different trait our puppy has is her tail. If any of you have seen her and not heard the story, you would probably think that Patrick and I are abusive "parents" and smashed or broke her tail in a door or something but I want to reassure you that is not the case. Although, her tail is visibly bent, it's not our fault. She was the first puppy out of her mother at birth and her tail was broken then. It healed broken and the vet said it should be fine and not bother her at all. Luckily, it hasn't! She doesn't even notice, but people sure do notice her. We love it! She's unique and ours and we love her!
