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!

Dear Knox,

My Oma told me about your situation.  I feel your pain.  My mommy has a baby in her tummy and in a few months, I won't be an "only child" anymore.  Everyone says I should be happy about having a little brother, but I'm not so sure!!  Anyway, I paid attention to the pictures of you and Flash playing.  I have a feeling if I try to play that way with my new little brother, I'll get put into time out!!  My Oma and I think Flash is adorable.  I hope my little brother is as cute - maybe with a little less hair.

Love,

Kayla (Deanna's two-year-old granddaughter and Sedona's "sister")

Oh Knox...In time you will be just as happy as the rest about Flash light joining the gang.

Happy Birthday!

Knox you'd better not pout and you'd better not cry cause Santa Clause is coming to town. Knox, your picture made me laugh, you really do look a bit miffed. I hope you got something special for your birthday besides that hat and a baby brother.  Doris, Flash is so adorable I can see why you fell in love. This whole blog had me grinning from ear to ear. What a wonderful Christmas present your very own Flash Light, the name alone is enough to make you smile and he is so freakin cute.What a wonderful gift for Flash is very own home for Christmas. I don't think Knox is nearly as unhappy with Flash as he would have us think. Merry Christmas to you and your now expanded family,

Happy birthday Knox. Congratulations on this new puppy. Claim him as yours and let everyone know that this great idea was yours. See, all of a sudden you are brilliant. Merry Christmas.

Doris, thank heavens for this blog!  You made me remember that today is Murphy's Birthday!  He's three today and I totally spaced it out with everything going on.  What the heck kind of Doodle Mom and I?  He and Knox are one day apart....although Knox is years more mature!  You know how excited I am about Flash.  I do think it was meant to be and Know will come around.  Even though they have their moments and Murphy loves to bully Guinness, they are truly bonded.  They hate being apart, and it really feels like they just know that they're family and need to stick together.  I'm sure that K & F will feel like that too.  Flash is one of the most beautiful Doodle boys I've ever seen....how could you ever give up a puppy with that face.  He is a PERFECT XMAS present!
