New Year Audit

I know, my blogging attempts last year were shameful. A whole 12 months, 365 days and I only managed 2 entries. To be fair my human was away most of last year so there wasn't anyone to translate my thoughts. I also gained a fair bit of weight which makes doing anything remotely physical tiring - this weight gain thing is a vicious cycle, the bigger you get the less likely you are to do any physical activity. sigh...

Let's do the 2011 audit in numbers then:

4 number of humans currently doting on me at home. My human came back late last year - which was about time as 4 people's unconditional adoration is better than 3.

24 inches. That's how big my chest is now. To put things in perspective, most supermodels have a 24 inch waist. Some may say I'm losing my shape, but honey if it works for those Victoria Secret's angels it will do for me.

A bird's eye view of my newly enhanced chest.

2.5 years. The number of years I've spent in this household. How time flies. I've graduated into an indoor dog, got my own corner with my own bed in the TV room, staked out my new sleeping position above the shoe cabinet near the back gate and trained mum to give me daily lunch treats. To think that I spent my first 2 nights here in my human's bathroom to having the run of the house in 2 years. This is equivalent to starting out in the mailroom and becoming CEO of GE in 2 years (ok, maybe 14 years given we need to apply the 7 multiplier when thinking in dog time) - Jack Donaghy would be proud.
Speaking of which...when is 30 Rock coming back on TV?
6 months. This was the number of months my human spent away from me. But with weekly video Skype calls it was like she never left and I still manage to showcase my new tricks to her via Skype. Technology really is amazing. Now if only they make paw friendly keyboards.

3 new tricks. Mum taught me new tricks last year (which explains my ever expanding chest. New tricks = more treats! I don't know what body shape I am but I seem to gain all my weight round the chest area. I suppose most glamour models would wish for this ability).
One of the new tricks I picked up in 2011. Assume Play Position!
1 very happy dog. All in all 2011 was a great year and it had a tremendous end. I spent New Year's Eve on the rooftop with my bed and my blankie. There may have been fireworks going up all around which scares me silly but at least I was with all my humans and a strong pack is a happy pack.
