Easter '07

We had to get all of The Parents up early this morning so that they could prepare a slap up breakfast. Many of The Mothers were baking by 5:00am so that they could be ready to get us to the park on time for our regular 6:00am rendezvous. It was just on sunrise when The Mother and I clambered into the little red car and set off (I knew that it was going to be a special day as the car was filled with the glorious smell of freshly baked cheese and spinach spanakopita). Jezze and Belle arrived at the same time with their Father, Paul, and the feast began at once. The Mothers and Fathers brought lovely things to eat and drink: freshly baked date muffins, ham and cheese croissants, birthday cake (for Daisy and Truffles), Easter eggs, an enormous marshmallow Easter bunny, hot cross buns, cranberry juice, Veuve Clicquot champagne, which The Parents seemed very excited about. There were murmurings such as “it’s a bit too early in the day for me”, but they eagerly drank it anyway; maybe they were being polite. Parents have funny ways at times! There were any number of chocolates, liver treats and my personal favourite, Scmackos (Dogs go wacko, Dogs go wacko, Dogs go wacko for Schmackos…It’s true. I do.) Rules are made to be broken. The Parents forgot all the normal rules and gave us lovely things to eat and didn’t seem to really care if we sat politely or not, which some goody four paw girls did, but mostly the boys didn’t. Chopper certainly didn’t. I did, once, when The Mother insisted.

The humidity of summer has passed and it was a cool start to the day; perfect for lots of fun and wasn’t there a lot of fun! Chopper’s Mother brought an entire bag of tennis balls; 10 of them! As usual Daisy Dog tried to keep them to herself but there were too many even for her to sit on, so the rest of us got to play with them as well. Chester and Jezze preferred to chase each other around until it was time to go, stopping for a little something to munch on every so often. Daisy got quite cross with Chopper because he was being a pushy paws. He can be. All of the girls wore pink rabbit ears and looked quite pretty, especially Truffles. Chopper’s Mother brought them for us all. I wouldn’t wear mine. Chopper did; blue ones. I thought he looked like a dill but he didn’t care!

By 7:00am we had played and eaten just about enough and lazily we made our way home. I was even too tired to carry my ball and left it for The Mother to carry. Truffles refused to leave because she was having such a good time, and on this occasion didn’t mind if everyone else had fun as well, which makes quite a change I can tell you! Well I am off to bed as I am tuckered out. The Mother is going to the gym ‘to work off the calories’ (another one of the odd things that Parents do).

The Mother didn’t take any photographs because she sold her camera during the week and has yet to buy a new one so I have had to add a photographs from our last party which was held at Christmas.

Signing off for now…sweet dreams…Bizzie!
