It's my BIRTHDAY and I'll POUT if I want to!

[Doris, Knox & Flash]

To my dear DK family,

Today is my 3rd birthday but you can clearly see that I am having myself a "Pity Party" rather than a birthday party.  For those of you who know and love me, you may want to print out the above pic and save it as a the last one of me by myself.  My world as I know it has changed and no one at my house had the common courtesy to ask me if I wanted it to.  I'm blaming it on that dumb group that keeps asking my mom to foster random doodles.  Well, now look what is staying PERMANENTLY at my house...

Between you and me, I have never really minded when mom brought in a foster.  Having someone to play with is always fun, but it's also nice when they go home.  Unfortunately for me, this guy isn't going anywhere.  My mom and dad fell head-over-hills for him -- almost like it was "love at first sight!"  I heard my mom say his name was FLASH and say stupid things like "it's meant to be."  For those of you who don't know, our last name is LIGHT, but I'm here to tell you that we have plenty of flashlights around here already.

We have all shapes and sizes of flashlights, but apparently they wanted another one, one that would snuggle up to them, something that I don't really do.  Tell me, my DK friends, how can I compete?  Even I have to admit that he's a pretty nice boy, and thankfully, that darn-awful puppy stage is behind us.  I heard my mom say his first birthday is Christmas Day and that he's her Christmas present.  Isn't that just so sweet?? (gag)  I'm not going to waste your time now with lots of photos of Flash, because I have a feeling my mom will be flooding DK Iwith pics of him soon.  Let me just show you, though, how well we are getting along...

If this past week is any indication, my life as KING of the HOUSE is history.  I really thought things were great around here...after all, my mom and dad already had two dogs that love them dearly -- me and Courtney, the bossy Jack Russell.  Did my family NEED another dog?  Unfortunately, when I asked my dad that same question, he said, "Knox,  it's not a need, but a WANT!"  I'm not sure if I need or want him, but it looks like he's here to stay.  My mom is giving me this opportunity to pout (what are DK friends for?) but she says tomorrow our profile name will change to "Doris, Knox & Flash."  I'm just wondering...was "Foster Fail" already token??

Merry Christmas, y'all,

from Knox and his new brother!

[Cheryl and Finnegan]

Good one F! She could round out the family with SUN and MOON. Doris how lucky you are:)

[F, Calla & Luca]

I love head Light. what a great last name. You could get another and call her Dee :)

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Knox, I know just what you are going through with having such a SMILEY, adorable, little (or huge) brother. Everyone thinks they are so cute because they smile all the time and like to remark that we are always so serious. Hey, we are the thinkers in the group and it isn't easy thinking for two all the time. Take it from me...the big guy is going to grow on you. I don't know how it happens, but it does. Knox, keep on being you and don't smile if you don't want to. Love, Fudge

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

Doris, we have that same bed....it's cute that Knox is the one on it.  At our house  Guinness is usually the one on the bed and Murph uses it as his pillow.

Doris..."Smiley and Grumps" has me smiling from ear to ear. Knox you are one handsome guy and it looks like you've managed to keep things under control, for the moment.   Flash you are so freakin' adorable  -- can anyone do anything but smile back at you?  I think you just might be the DK logo "come to life." Looking forward to the ongoing adventures of these two.

@F, I think Knox is really being a bit dramatic on here.  He knows we absolutely adore him and his place as HEAD LIGHT is secure!

[Doris, Knox & Flash]

@Karen, OK!  And kiss the black nose at your house for me : )

[F, Calla & Luca]

Funny, I don,t think Luca resented Calla really. He knew he was king and that was that.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Kiss those two big black noses for me, Doris!
