A Party For Me!

Daddy decided to have some people over yesterday to meet me.  It was my very first party and I was so excited.  I should have been resting up for the big party but I was playing with my stuffies that my foster mom gave me.  I was also working on perfecting my bat girl moves.

The first people to arrive were Tony and Fred.  Tony is Momma's best guy friend and he was soon my favorite party guest.  He wouldn't stop taking photos of me when I was playing in the backyard but I'm so fast that most of them turned out blurry.  He finally got this one when I stopped to reorient myself.

I probably don't have to tell you that I didn't get any of the delicious food that Daddy made.  Nope.  Not one bite of anything.  You can't really see the food in the photo but there's a ham which smelled delicious, Daddy's special party potatoes, rice pilaf, grilled asparagus, and some toasted bread rolls.  I tried my hardest to get some food.  I went from guest to guest pleading my case but nothing came my way.  I thought for sure that someone would drop something on the floor but it never happened.  What kind of party guests were these?

All that non-eating by me just made me kick up my game a notch.  I don't really like to be held but I let Momma pick me up once the party moved into the kitchen for dessert because I figured the closer I was to the table the greater my chances of getting some food.  Even this strategy didn't work and after hours of not really obnoxious begging, I gave up.  I thought the party was for me but none of the food ever made its way to my lips.  Sheesh!

I'm not used to parties so I was exhausted this morning.  Did I mention that Momma bought me another bed?  This pretty little pink number rolls up for easy transport.  And it has a little built in pillow.  Zzzzzzz!  The old bed is in the back of the photo and Momma said I'm going to be just like Tuni soon with all my beds.  Momma visited Tuni's house last month and she said there are beds in every room.  I told her I want to be just like Tuni!

I typically toss and turn until I find just the right spot.  This position is particularly good because I can see everything Momma is doing from this angle.  I need to know if Momma gets up to do anything because she might just be going to the kitchen to get me a snack.

I like to sleep with my face smooshed into my bed.  Momma thinks it's because I'm trying to hide but it's really because it makes my eyes feel good.  So here I will sleep while the wind howls outside.  And maybe, just maybe, I will let Momma hold me for a little while later today.  She needs to hold me to remind herself that everything is okay and to remind me that I am safe.
