"At least that's what she's been saying all week...heck I like dirt......
"Well gee whiz, I can cause a big stink in the house if I chew up a shoe or chase one of the cats....and I can make a REALLY big stink in here if I don't get to my "designated area" out in the yard in time!"
Heck, I can make a big stink over just about anything..and boy do I get into trouble if I don't get my way!"
"Anyway, back to Ma.....today I'm taking her with Pa to go out to eat. Ma got me a new dress for the occasion
..... a red and white gingham ( what ever that is! ) I heard her say something about getting a bottle of the bubbly
.... I wonder if it mean that she's gonna go get groomed? Pa said something about presents and flowers...gee I wonder if any of it will come my way? 
"....it finally dawned on her....
...start callin' and emailin' everyone today..telling them I was the best lil' gift she ever got for any birthday!""Whew........all that 'cause I learned where to do my business and when to do it.....and all that yakkin' about mimicking her.........zheezh.....I thought that crazy bird was the only one doin' any mimicking around here! Guess I finally found my place in the critter totem pole here by the beach!"
"Well.....that's about all I have to talk about for now. I gotta help everyone get prepared for our little celebration here. I expect that she'll have a lot to talk about after HER gotcha day.....if she doesn't have too much of that bubble or bubbly or whatever that stuff is...bye for now.....
