Hi
... just hopping in to say Happy Easter! Here I am, all ready for
the parade. Hope the Easter Bunny leaves me eggs filled with catnip.
I'm told I look very cute in this picture so that must be why everyone
is laughing.
Mom and Dad named me Deacon because I'm all black except for a white
patch on my throat that they say looks like I have on a clerical collar.
I'm a pretty big boy and can reach the kitchen counter top with my
front paws while standing on the floor. Mom calls me her love-bucket
because I like to curl up with her every night and lay my head on her
pillow and purr til she falls asleep. Sometimes if Dad goes to bed
early I might do that with him, just so he doesn't feel left out.
A couple years ago I wasn't feeling too good so I went to the doctor and
after a bunch of tests, she said I had congestive heart failure. She
didn't think I'd last too long; but I've been taking a few pills every
single day and I feel great! Mom says I'm the best pill taker ever. My
brother Barney has a thyroid condition and Mom says he's the worst pill
taker. He waits for her to turn around and then spits 'em out. I've
tried to tell him they're to make him better but he won't listen.
Brothers are like that.
As you can see, I love hats. My favorites are sock hats. Dad takes a
pair of his socks and puts them on my head so they hang down on each
side. They call it "The Basset Hound Look" whatever that means. I just
sit a purr and they tell me I look very handsome. Sometimes Dad ties
the bottoms together under my chin... then we all laugh.
When I was born I was the only boy and had four sisters. My furry-mom
lives across the street with one of those sisters and another sister
lives next door with my grandparents. Another sister, Murphy, is here
with me and my blended family consisting of Barney, Andy, Mindy, and
Winky. Mom and Dad love us all very much and I think I'm just about the
luckiest guy in the world.
