My Super Surprise 5th birthday...

And now for a word or two about my "surprise" birthday party.

As most of you know, on March 12th, this sophisticated, debonair, charming, well-bred long/short hair, black and white Chihuahua will turn five. (That's thirty-five in people years.)

Mama is planning a "surprise" birthday party for me. She doesn't know I know about it, but I saw the evite that she sent on the computer when I was typing my blog the other day. It had my picture on the front in my favorite Irish Fisherman sweater that Grandma Ellie made me. It's my GQ pose.

The party is on March 12th and all my friends are invited -- Perri and Aunt Koukla, Molly and Aunt Danielle, Pia, Nero, Aunt Maria, Grandma and Grandpa Zizou. The only ones missing are Grandma Ellie and The Big Guy. We are serving greenies, dog bones dipped in yogurt, chocoyogurt drops, shredded grilled chicken and doggie birthday cake. The humans are eating human food that Papas is cooking.

Nero and Pia, my older brother and sister are in charge of decorating the house. I am sure they will do a great job of hanging the decorations and then swinging from them.

Mama is taking me out for a ride so that the guests can arrive with all their presents. Then I can come home to my party and act surprised when everybody comes out from hiding and yells, "Surprise!!!!" (I've been practicing how to react for over a week. I don't want them to know I know.)

I can't wait for the presents. I want to see all the loot I get this year. I already found a package from Grandma Ellie with new collars from Coach in lots of new colors. Can't wait to see what she brings me from Syracuse!!

Oh well, I have to wait. I'm such a deserving Chihuahua. After all, I bring joy into everyone's life and I should get treats and gifts once in a while.

Adios!
