Hi Fellow Doggers,
Happy 2012!

It’s traditional for folks in my family to make New Year’s Resolutions!
(Whether they keep them or not is a different story.)
Mom has an interesting view on them.
She makes her resolutions achievable within the first month of the New Year.
I’m going to do the same thing.
So here are my New Year’s Resolutions.

I resolve:
To bark at the postal carrier with even more ferocity
(I must stop that person from coming on my porch! It is an outrage!)
To beg for more treats
(Mom’s got a pork roast in the oven. I resolve to get a nice juicy piece of it!)
To achieve maximum cuteness
(Okay, I’ll admit, that’s really too easy.)

To get MORE toys next Christmas
(I’m busy tearing the head of my new monkey, already ripped the guts out of my new stuffed pig. This is a cinch! )
To get a whole piece of bacon at least once a week when Mama cooks breakfast
(Obviously,
I just have to be in the kitchen at the appropriate time. Mom dropped a piece on the floor this AM. I missed it by 3 seconds!)
To guilt the boys and Mama and Daddy into MORE walks
(Already located my leash, I will now drag it around the house!)
To catch that fat squirrel that taunts me.
(Dad got some nuts in his Christmas stocking… Can you say Bait?)

Mama says I shouldn’t make too many. Then they become impossible to manage.
(I think I’ve got this locked!)
Well, those are my resolutions fellow doggers.
Feel free to share yours in your comments on my blog today.
Oh and……

Great list! I’m still working on mine. I’ve actually made friends with my postal carrier….you might want to try it because she brings me doggy treats now:) Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year! Mom would like us to resolve to not bark so much at other doggies when we are on our walks, but Abby and I are not convinced. I mean, where’s the fun in that?!? Good luck with the squirrel hunting!

What is it with those postmen? I bark at them too! Happy New Year, Opie. I sure hope you got a bite of that pork roast. I didn’t……but I’m hoping for leftovers!!

We like your resolutions sweet Opie. I don’t bark at our lady mail carrier…my popsy is a retired mail carrier and he does not allow me to bark at them…but I plan to bark louder and longer at all the squirrels in 2012. Hugs and nose kisses Chancy

Great list. We would like to nail a squirrel and a chipmunk.
