Dad's Birthday

We are really far behind with blogging. Steve hasn’t been feeling very well. We don’t know what is wrong with him, but he’s just not himself. He doesn’t like to be touched and has started refusing to jump off the bed. Mom is taking him to the vet again tomorrow to see about getting x-rays of his hips and back. So instead of blogging, Mom sits around and loves on Steve and then reads her vet book to try to diagnose Steve. She thinks he has every ailment in the entire book at this point.

Anyway, last time we blogged, we said we would tell you about Dad’s birthday. We gave him a card and some Kit Kats. Earlier in the month he got a new Xbox 360 because his old one broke, so he got his present early. Dad also got this yummy looking cake from Cold Stone Creamery.
​
A few days before Dad’s birthday, our Texas grandma sent us some special cookies and we saved them to eat on the big day. The cookies were in this tin.
​
The cookies looked like this. The Texas A&M football helmet is for Steve and the orange leaf is for me. The store didn’t have any OSU helmets, but I liked the orange leaves with sparklies.
Since it was Dad’s birthday, he got to pass out the cookies.​
We got nose-to-cookie and boy, they smelled yummy.
Right after that picture was taken, we got to eat the cookies and I can tell you, they tasted as good as they smelled and looked!

Dad got a new game for his Xbox 360 from our Missouri grandparents and Wilbur helped him try it out.
Note: Mom says not to look too closely at that room because it’s Dad’s man room, which he shares with Wilbur, so she lets Dad be messy up there.

So as you can see, we all helped Dad celebrate his birthday!

Trick or Treat!

Happy Halloween!!

I hope you're all having a great Halloween. We're getting ready to nap here. Mom is talking about giving us baths, but I bet she can't if we are sleeping, right?

Last night we dressed up and went trick or treating. It was really fun. The whole family dressed up as football players. Mom and I were Oklahoma State Cowboys and Steve and Dad were Texas A&M Aggies.

First we stopped at Paddywack and picked up our treat bags and a stack of clues. Then we had to figure out the clues and go to the store that matched the clue to get our treat. You can see in this picture that we were working hard to figure out the clues.

We walked all over the Town Center, collecting treats. Luckily we let Mom and Dad carry our treat bags so we could keep an eye on all the other dogs to see if anypup had the same costume (they didn't).

We even got to go into some stores we've never been in before, like a real estate business and a children's clothing store. For some reason, Mom made us stay outside with Dad at the pottery place and at the place with all the glass shelves.

The very last clue led us to a stop where there was coffee, cider, and donuts for the humans and a lady with a silver tray full of treats for Steve and me. Steve got so excited every time the lady with the silver tray came near him. She had hot dogs with cheese!

We were pretty tired.

Right before we left, I cuddled up to Mom.

And Steve gave Dad a happy smile.

Then we ran all the way back to the car because it started raining. We got done trick or treating just in time!

I hope you all have as good of a Halloween as we have!

My career choice

Yesterday Kat told you how Mom said we had to pick careers and get jobs. At first, I couldn't think of any job that would be good for me. I just like to eat, chase squirrels, and look out the front window. Then I decided that I should pick a job where I make lots of money so I can buy lots of treats, build a roof on my backyard so the squirrels cannot escape, and remodel the house so the entire house has floor to ceiling windows. Therefore, I've decided to be a doctor.

I think being a doctor will be good because Kat can be my nurse and she's in charge anyway, so I'll just let her do most of the work while I rake in the dough. I'm also going to be a surgeon, as you can see by my Texas A&M scrub cap.

I think the first thing I am going to do is propose a ban on white doctor coats. They are too long and make it really hard for a pup to walk. How can I respond to an emergency page to rush a patient to surgery if I keep tripping over my doctor coat? Maybe just a white doctor collar would be best.

As a doctor, it's important for me to promote good health for everypup. So my good health message for today is that you all should head over to Huffle Mawson's blog to learn more about healthy dog treats!

Signing off,
Dr. Steve

Football Time!

Since it's Saturday, College Football Day, I decided to post these pictures of last weekend.  It was a big day for Steve and my college teams.

First, Texas A&M (Steve and Dad's team) played Kansas State.  Steve and Dad were totally ready to cheer them on.  Go Aggies!

Unfortunately, the KSU Wildcats managed to tame the Aggies and Steve and Dad were very sad.  (Wilbur was happy since he says cats always win.)

Next up was Oklahoma State playing Missouri.  Mom and I LOVE OSU!  We were super excited to cheer for them.

It was a big game for OSU since they were playing Missouri AT Missouri and Missouri was the #3 team.  Notice I say WAS since OSU won!  Mom and I were super happy as you can see in this picture.  

Okay, I was happy on the inside.  Really.  Don't believe what you see in that picture.

Today is another big day for our teams.  Unfortunately for Steve and Dad, I'm predicting that the Aggies will come up short again since they are playing #7 Texas Tech.  However, I hope that Mom and I are still happy at the end of the day since now #8 OSU should have a fairly easy game against Baylor.  I hope I didn't just jinx it!

Go Big 12!
