Happy Birthday!!

I'd like to wish a very happy birthday to my first born, my baby girl, my puppy Mae! Mae is now four years old! It's hard to believe that we've had her for four years. We got her when she was just 8 weeks old and 8 pounds, now she is 4 years old and 45 pounds!



Here are some Mae approved Etsy items!

The Dog's Wishlist

For the first time ever, Made By Melissa has a special guest blogger, none other than, Mae, the family dog, otherwise known as my first born. Mae apparently has been surfing Etsy while my husband and I are away at work and has compiled the following wish list:

Hi, my name is Mae, I am a doggie, I live with Melissa and the man and the child. Melissa pets me and brushes me and feeds me. I make the man take me outside to walk around in circles in the middle of the night, I don't really have to go pee-pee, but he thinks I do, so he takes me out. The child scares me sometimes, I get even by eating his food and pulling his socks off his feet. He smells bad, sometimes they blame it on me. I don't like it when they do that. I want presents, these are the presents I want.



The Lady Is A Tramp - Adjustable Dog Collar by BigDoggy Bling - I like pink, I like wearing a collar, I am a lady. I don't know what a tramp is....


BACON! I like bacon... did someone say bacon? Wait, what was I talking about? Oh yeah, I like treats and I really, really, really, really like bacon. Oooo, bacon, did someone say bacon?? Sorry, I want these yummy treats Baconator Biscuits by MyPooperScooper:


I like to play, I like toys, I like toys that make noise, I like to play tug with the man, I like to try to pull him off the couch, its fun. I want a new toy! This one makes noise, has a ball and tug ends! WOOF!! It's called Red and Blue Crinkle Ball Stuffed Toy for Dogs and its from scrivenerferret:


Santa, please buy me these presents. I am a good dog (most of the time) and I want presents. Thank you!

WOOF!

Warning for Pet Owners - Antifreeze

Taking a break from the typically scheduled Wordless Wednesday, I'd like to share this blog from Dogster.com.

"Last week, three Dogster dogs in the same family had to be euthanized as a result of antifreeze poisoning. A common automotive fluid, antifreeze contains ethylene glycol, an extremely toxic alcohol. Since it doesn't take much to seriously injure or kill a pet, every dog owner should be aware of the dangers of antifreeze."

Please share this with all pet owners and pet lovers.
