Wow.
The year is really going by quickly.
I mean it is almost US Thanksgiving and the next thing you know, it will be
Easter. JUST kidding. Of course the next big thing is CHRISTMAS!!!! Time to start working on
my wish list.
But I started thinking. Before I do THAT, perhaps I should look at my
2015 New Year’s resolutions to
see how I am doing. I wonder how many HUMANS actually carry out their resolutions? Heck. I wonder how many humans can even
REMEMBER what they were?! So here’s my list. Let’s see how I am doing. I figure if I look at them now, I still have time to accomplish them – if I haven’t
already done so.
1. Get
my very own Facebook page. I have my own blog, so I think it’s time I get my
own page on Facebook. And my goal is 14
Likes by May.
ACCOMPLISHED!!! And 147 people like me. 113 of those are my human’s family. 20 are MY friends. The rest are people she
made up.
2. Stop
running off into the woods. OK. That’s probably a bit lofty. How about stop running off into the woods for
more than 10 minutes. Hmmm. I’m not quite
sure I accomplished this one. Especially
that night I went to visit the porcupine…
3. Stop
counter surfing. Hmmm…again maybe a bit
much. How about stop counter surfing
when there is a full moon.. This one I DID accomplish. I
NEVER counter surfed. When there was a
full moon. For example – when I stole
the dog sitter’s sandwich last week from the counter, it was a NEW moon. So check this one off the list.
4. Do
not chew on the new dog bed. When my
human is watching. Another
one – accomplished! Remember the $10,000
steel bed my human bought for us LAST Christmas? It is STILL intact! I think we could do commercials for these
beds. NO DOG BED has ever survived this
long in our house!!!!
5. Do
not lick Frodo or Paxton’s face. If it
is dinner time. Accomplished. I never lick their ears while eating
dinner. Ever. The other 23 hours and 58 minutes of the day
– it’s a different story…
6. Do not steal bones or toys from Frodo or
Paxton. Especially when I have already
hoarded all the other bones and toys….OK. ANOTHER one I need to work on. But honestly, I thought all the toys were for
ME!
7. Do not look longingly at the garage
door where the dog food is stored. Every
10 minutes. I’ve
got this one down to every 15 minutes.
More work to do…
8. Make every effort NOT to knock out my
human when I am jumping repeatedly while waiting to go out the front door. No black eyes SO FAR this year – so I
consider this one accomplished.
9. Do not chase rabbits or foxes…. on the
third Thursday of every month. Accomplished. Wait there WAS the third Thursday of
April. Oh and July. And September. OK.
Maybe this still needs work.
10. Agree to poop in the rain at least once a
month.
OK. Semi-accomplsihed. I did do this in May. But not since then….
So overall, I’m not doing TOO badly. A couple of things to work on. I still have 40 more days.
Now to start working on the Christmas wish
list…
