Maddie the Saddest Doggie
(To the tune of "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer")

Maddie, the saddest doggie
Has a very quiet life,
But if you look at her wrongly
it fills her puppy heart with strife.

And when we brought home Butters
She was very blue indeed.
She just stared at us sadly,
But, a friend is what she needs.

Then one quiet Monday night,
Butters got his way.
He made friends with little Maddie
Even though he is a catty.

Now they’re the best of pet-friends
Though sometimes it’s not a cup of tea,
“Best” may be too strong an adjective,
At least they play pretty happily…

Oh, Butters.

While I was writing emails and facebooking and whatnot, the kitty climbed up on my chest and made it hard to get anything done. But, he's adorable, so I took a break.

If you turn up the volume and listen REALLY closely, you can hear him purring

Shortly after I uploaded this, Kitty abandoned me, and Maddie The Saddest Dog in the World got jealous and had her moment in the sun.

Don't judge me harshly for avoiding her tongue. You would too if you could smell her breath.

NO WORK FOR ME TODAY!

Happy Birthday to me!

This is Butters Stotch (named after our favorite South Park character), the newest member of our little family, and my birthday present from Mike!

We brought him home yesterday, after adopting him from our local Humane Society Outreach
event. He and Maddie are almost BFFs already. But he still gets a little jumpy when Maddie gets too excited.


I kind of love him and think he's adorable. He's pretty fearless, and really chill. I need to invest in a squirt bottle because he's already terrorizing one of my houseplants.

Also - Happy Birthday Momma P. !!

The best mom a girl can ask for.
