My Gotcha Day!


Today are my Gotcha Day!  13 years ago, Finley's momma drove up to Gainsville to meet some puppies.  She wuz lookin for a birfday present for her daughter's 16th birfday.  Originally, my momma had wanted a car for her 16th birfday and a puppy for Chrissymas.  But she gots da reverse.  See da mommas got all confuserated bout dis new law in Texas - it said ya had to have your driver's permit for 6 months before ya gots your license.  And my momma didn't get her permit until June, which meant she couldn't get her license when she turned 16 (her birfday are later dis month).  So she got me for her 16th birfday and a car for Chrissymas (along wif her license da day after).  So dey wuz real lucky dey got so confuserated, udderwise dey wouldn't have me!

My momma got outta school to meet me, she just told da nurse she'd thrown up in da bathroom and dey let her call home.  My momma wuz REAL good at fakin sick, she can even make herself run an over 100 fever (which wuz da point ya had to reach before ya could go home).  Let's just say she had practice getttin outta class, BOL!  She says she fell in luv wif me right away - I luved her too!!

I started thinkin  today, most my pals has only ever seen dis one picture of me as a puppy.  See, da peeps didn't have a digital camera when I wuz a baby and dis wuz da only picture my momma ever scanned in!  So I made her scan in a few more today.


Do ya believe I wuz da friendly girl of my litter wif da small ears??  Dat are what Finley's momma says, BOL BOL!


I had lotsa fun eggsplorin my yard as a pup.


Here I are on my spot on da bed workin on a chew.


And see, I has always luved da kitties.  Dis are me and Jezebel - she passed away bout a year and a half ago - she almost made it to 21!


And dis are me today.  Furrier, but still just as cute, right??


I had a pawsome day - I got fried eggy weggy for breakfast!


It wuz delishus!


Finley's momma got me da bestest present - my very own stroller!


Now I can crooze round town and not have to do nuffin!


And BFF Finley can get her walks in wifout me gettin left at home.  She wuz real interested in what I wuz doin up in my stroller and kept starin at me and my momma, BOL!


I had a pawsome time snoopervisin everything.


And I barked udder dogs from my stroller too - my legs may not work so great, but dere are NUFFIN wrong wif my voice!


My momma made me a new Fall dress for my Gotcha Day - I'll be modelin it nextest week.


Den somefin really pawsome happened tonite - somefin dat hasn't happened for months.  BLUE BELL!


OMD, I wuz so eggcited!!!


OMD, Buttered Pecan goodness!


I licked mine up, but Finley definitely beat me as far as speed goes.


No, ya can't have any of mine BFF!  BOL BOL!  I even heard a roomer bout ice cream dresses comin soon to celebrate da return of Blue Bell - I can't wait for it!  Hopefully I'll get some more ice cream then too.

    What a cute puppy you were. Well worth skipping school for, I'd say.
    Hope you enjoys lots more outings in your fine new stroller.

  11. Oh Whitley, I do apologize that I missed your Gotcha Day post yesterday. But oh my, were you not the cutest little puppy?!? No wonder your momma fell in love with you right away! And I am so happy to hear that, at 2 years older than me, you bark like a true terrier from your stroller...because I do that too! I can scare away any critter I choose even from the confines of the stroller. BOL Happy, Happy Gotcha Day, my girl.

  21. We think you have the best family ever! We love hearing your stories. You are so adorable now...probably because you were such a cute little pup! I think your own set of wheels is a very thoughtful gift. We are so excited for you to cruise the neighborhood once again! This is embarrassing...we didn't know Blue Bell went away because we've never had it here! I was trying to tell my mom since I was born in Texas about it but she thought I was silly...no, I was serious. I hope it makes its way to California! Happy Gotcha Day...we are all so happy for you and your mom!
