It's my 9th Birthday Bash and 1st Comment-a-thon!

 

Dearest Payton,
I just want to tell you how much I love you and how much I have loved every minute of our nine years together.  All of the ups, and even the down times, are so precious to me.  It is amazing that you are still in our lives, but I thank God for you every single day, and always ask Him to bless us with many more days together.  You are an inspiration, a miracle, and an angel on earth.  Happy 9th Birthday, baby girl.  Enjoy your day!
Love,
Mom

Sorry for the sappy note from my mom, but when she asked for the laptop, I didn't know what she was up to.  I probably owed her one, but now we're even.  Anyway, let's get this party started!!  First up, let me share with you an awesome early birthday gift from the Southern Fried Pugs.  You will not believe what they sent me...the sweetest, most thoughtful thing that has forever sealed them in my dad's heart...and made my mom leaky as she was helping me open the package...  My very own Chicago Bears cheerleading outfit!!




Yep, I'm totally ready for football season to start now.  Go Bears!  Da Bearsss!  Thanks so much Isabelle, Petunia, and Tallulah!!  Mom and dad are slackers when it comes to checking the mail, but they did last night.  There was a bunch of cards and such from even more friends.  I feel so loved...you guys are awesome!  Thanks!  Who knows how long they have been sitting in the mailbox.  Sheesh!  I'll have to tell you the specifics about them later because mom said I might as well wait until tonight to open them, so I will.  Although I don't really have a choice given my lack of usable thumbs, now do I?

Now for some more GREAT news!  My inhaler came in late Monday afternoon so Gammy and Gampy are coming over tonight!!  And mom promised me a very sweet treat!  This is going to be a great birthday party, so I better get some rest... 





Oh my pug, I'm up!  What a dream!  I was traveling the globe in my private jet with my frequent-flyer friends (Lola Pug, Sid, Suki, and Puglet) there to help show me the ropes!  Gampy better come through with his promise of a private jet for me tonight so I can visit ALL of my dear blogging friends, near and far!  My mom said not to hold my breath because Gampy promised her a pool a very, very long time ago and it never happened...although he says that my "training" pool from last summer counts.  Hmmm...yeah, good try, Gampy, but I'm not sure that cuts it.

Anyway, did mom just say it was almost time for my party?

I can taste the nomables already!
I should probably make sure everything is in order!
Mom, get your butt out of that chair and let's get to taste testing all the food before my special guests arrive!


Sheesh!  My work around here is never done.  I hope mom has it all together because I'm so excited!  I'll be sure to post pictures of my party and tell you all about it later this week.

Ok, enough about me.  Remember, this post is also my Comment-a-thon to help out Wilma's "Stuff My Doghouse" project that I told everyone about last Friday!


So please remember to leave a comment on this post today (March 21st) before the clock strikes midnight CST to help a good cause, specifically the Homeward Bound Pug Rescue and Adoption of Oklahoma!  And thanks to those of you who have already donated directly, especially those that said they would do so in my honor!

Love,
Payton

PS.  I just want to give a shout-out to Sid for the inspiration to visualize my dream using the Ken Burns effect!  If you haven't seen his studly potato video, it's a must!

Happy Birthday, Payton! You are such a special puggie and such a blessing to your family!!!!!!!!
We wish you a wonderful year to come and many fun times to be had and good health!

We laughed at your barking video, you have a very deep, sultry voice! Mack, Mario and I all started barking back at you when your video was playing.

Hu-mom is putting a little something in the mail for you today so keep a look out for it.
Wish we could join in your birthday fun in person.

You have touched all of us in your brave fight.

Love,

Pug Slope said...

Wooo hooo! Happy Birthday, Payton!!!

I cannot believe I was in your dream - I'm blushing. :)

That would be so cool to travel on your private jet with some pug pals. And not only that, but we'd get to stretch out *ON* the seats instead of being cooped up in a travel bag UNDERNEATH them. And when you sit *ON* the seats you also get ALL KINDS OF SNACKS! Like peanuts, and cookies, and...*sigh* too bad it was just a dream. Although I've got my paws crossed that Gampy will come through with your Birthday jet.

Oh, and I love your Bears cheerleader outfit. It fits you perfectly! DAAAA BEARCE!

I hope you have a grrrreat day and a fun time at your b-day party. Keep resting up for the festivities and have some more fun dreams - I'll do the same!

-Love,
Sid.

P.S. I thought you made excellent use of the Ken Burns effect in your vid. :) hee hee

Happy Birthday Payton! I am so happy to have met you via Blogville and I am so happy that you are looking and feeling better everyday. You, like the great football player you are named after, are an inspiration for your grit and determination. May you live, love and lick for many years to come.
Love Noodles

You look fabulous in your uniform! We are so glad you like it.
Happy birthday to one tough little cookie. Speaking of, we hope you get lots of delicious treats and tummy rubs and butt skritchies today. You have earned them all!

And congratulations to you, mom and dad! It hasn't been easy to keep Payton healthy as long as you have, so kudos to you for your efforts. She's a complete inspiration to pugs and their people everywhere!

dw said...

Payton, Happy Birthday!! And wishes for many many more! Your gift from the Southern Fried Pugs is just perfect!! Not only is it a Bears cheerleader outfit, it's got your name on it!! A perfect way to remember a great namesake, too, if you ask me! We have a little while before football season yet, so maybe you could root for the little Bears (aka the Cubs)? :) Hope you have a wonderful 9th birthday, Payton!!
