MOM--"BUT WALDO, WHAT IS THIS ABOUT GETTING RID OF THE BIRD AND SENDING THE PAPILLONS BACK TO FRANCE?  I DO NOT THINK THAT IS VERY NICE.  THE OTHER DOGS MAY WANT TO SEND YOU BACK TO ENGLAND."
 
WALDO--"UMM MOM, I DID NOT COME FROM ENGLAND,  SOME OF MY ANCESTORS DID BUT REMEMBER I WAS BORN IN ROANOKE VA.  YOU ARE NOT GETTING SENILE, ARE YOU MOM??"
 
MOM--"YOU ARE SIDESTEPPING THE POINT WALDO.  YOU KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT."
 
WALDO--"OH, THE SONG MOM, WELL IT IS JUST  A LITTLE FUN DITTY I PUT TOGETHER.  WANT ME TO TEACH IT TO YOU?"
 
 MOM--"NO, NO, NO, WALDO, LET'S SING THE SONG THE WAY IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE SUNG."
 
WALDO--"GEE MOM, YOU ARE REALLY GETTING TO BE A PARTY POOPER IN YOUR OLD AGE."
 
MOM--"WALDO, I AM NOT REALLY THAT OLD."
 
WALDO--"WELL, YOU ARE A LOT OLDER THAN ANYONE ELSE IN THE HOUSE.   THAT BIRD IS GETTING UP IN AGE, HOW OLD IS HE ANYWAY?"
 
MOM--"BUCKWHEAT IS ABOUT 25 OR 26 YEARS OLD.  HE IS PART OF OUR FAMILY."
 
WALDO--"YEA, BUT NOW THAT HE KNOWS MY NAME, HE IS ALWAYS YELLING AT ME.  OKAY MOM, LET'S GET SERIOUS ABOUT CHRISTMAS.  LET'S TALK ABOUT MY CHRISTMAS PHOTO.  DO YOU HAVE PUT ANTLERS ON ME ? IF YOU DO THAT TO ME, WHY CAN'T I SING MY SONG?"
 
MOM--"WALDO, YOU LOOK CUTE WITH ANTLERS. WE COULD GET RJ THE PAPILLON IN THE PICTURE OR WE COULD PUT YOUR BUDDY, JUSTICE, IN THE PICTURE WITH YOU."
 
WALDO--"MOM, THAT IS REALLY LOW. YOU KNOW JUSTICE AND I DO NOT AGREE ON MUCH.  HE IS ONE OF THOSE FAWN AND WHITES,  AND I AM A LUCIOUS RED BRINDLE AND WHITE.  AND THEN YOU MENTION RJ--HE WOULD NOT STAY STILL FOR A PICTURE.  I WAS THINKING MAYBE MISS BUTTONS.  SHE WOULD SIT STILL AND MAKE ME LOOK GOOD.  SHE LIKES TO DRESS UP."
 
MOM--OKAY, SO WE WILL HAVE YOUR PICTURE WITH MISS BUTTONS. NOW, LET'S WISH EVERYONE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND BE REALLY NICE TO ALL THE OTHER LITTLE 4 LEGGED KIDS HERE. SANTA MAY HEAR SOME OF THESE NAUGHTY THINGS YOU ARE SAYING.  THERE IS A SONG ABOUT THAT TOO."
 
WALDO--"MOM, YOU ALWAYS TWIST STUFF AROUND TO MAKE ME BEHAVE.  I THINK YOU ARE PRETTY SNEEKY.  BUT I LOVE YOU ANYWAY.  EVEN IF YOU ARE OLD."
 
MOM--"I AM NOT THAT OLD WALDO."
 
WALDO--"OKAY MOM, I KNOW YOU ARE IN DENIAL."
 
MOM--"WALDO,,,,,,,,,,"
 
WALDO--"REALLY MOM, THIS IS JESUS' BIRTHDAY.  SO WITH TOTAL LOVE, LET'S CELEBRATE HIS BIRTH. WHY DON'T WE TELL EVERYONE HOW WONDERFUL JESUS IS AND HOW MUCH HE HAS DONE FOR US.   AND LET'S REMIND EVERYONE TO THANK HIM AND ASK HIM TO CONTINUE TO BLESS US IN THE UPCOMING NEW YEAR."
 
MOM--"WALDO, YOU ALWAYS CONTINUE TO SURPRISE ME.  YOU HAVE THE TRUE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS AFTER ALL, EVEN WITH YOUR SILLY SONG.  THANK YOU WALDO.  I LOVE YOU TOO.
 
WALDO--SO EVERYONE IN THE HOUSE, LET'S ALL BARK, MEOW, AND CHIRP TO EVERYONE,
 
"MERRY CHRISTMAS"
 
 LOVE,
SIR WALDO MCGEE, ELIZABETH, AND ALL OF THE MCGEE-MACBETH FAMILY.

WALDO--"DENIAL MOM"
 
MOM--"GOODNIGHT WALDO."
 
WALDO--"WHAT IS A SUGARPLUM MOM?"
 
MOM--"GOODNIGHT WALDO."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENNA

HELLO FOLKS,
 
GUESS WHAT, A SPECIAL ANGEL TOLD ME THAT ON FRIDAY DECEMBER 19 th, ANOTHER SPECIAL YOUNG LADY IS HAVING A BIRTHDAY.  HER NAME IS JENNA.  SHE IS THE OLDER SISTER TO MARIAH.  GEE, THEY LIVE IN A SPECIAL FAMILY TO HAVE 2 WONDERFUL GIRLS.  WAIT A MINUTE, THAT MEANS 2 CAKES IN ONE MONTH. 
 
WALDO-"MOM, MOM, MOM, WHERE ARE YOU MOM, I HAVE A QUESTION?"
 
MOM-"FOR GOODNESS SAKE WALDO, WHAT IS IT?  ARE YOU ON THE COMPUTER AGAIN?  I THOUGHT YOU WERE TAKING A NAP."
 
WALDO-"MOM, I WAS TAKING A NAP BUT A SPECIAL ANGEL TOLD ME SOMETHING AND I HAVE TO WRITE SOMETHING ON MY BLOG.  COME ON MOM, I GOT SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO ASK YOU."
 
MOM-"ALLRIGHT WALDO, BUT YOU HAVE TO FINISH YOUR NAP.  WHAT ARE YOU YELLING ABOUT?"
 
WALDO-"CAN ONE FAMILY HAVE 2 BIRTHDAY CAKES IN THE SAME MONTH?  YOU SEE MOM,  MARIAH TURNED 11 AND SHE GOT A CAKE AND NOW JENNA IS TURNING 14 AND SHE IS GETTING A CAKE,  IS THAT LEGAL?  I THOUGHT I HAD TO SHARE A CAKE ON MY LAST BIRTHDAY.  I THOUGHT YOU SAID WE COULD NOT HAVE 2 CAKES IN ONE MONTH."
 
MOM-"WALDO,  I THINK YOU GOT YOUR OWN CAKE.  I DO NOT REMEMBER YOU SHARING A CAKE. OF COURSE, A FAMILY CAN HAVE MORE THAN ONE CAKE IN A MONTH IF MORE THAN ONE PERSON IS HAVING A BIRTHDAY THAT MONTH.  YOU KNOW THAT."
 
WALDO-"MOM, ARE YOU SURE I HAD MY OWN CAKE.  ARE YOU SURE I DID NOT HAVE TO SHARE MY CAKE WITH THAT SILLY BIRD, BUCKWHEAT.  HE IS ALWAYS TALKING AND HE IS A SNEAKY BIRD TOO."
 
MOM-  "WALDO, YOU KNOW THAT BUCKWHEAT DOES NOT EAT CAKE.  HE ONLY EATS SEEDS AND PEANUTS AS A TREAT.  WHY ARE YOU PICKING ON HIM ANYWAY, YOU NEVER HAVE BEFORE?  I THOUGHT YOU LIKED BUCKWHEAT."
 
WALDO- "WELL MOM, THE OTHER DAY, I WAS BEHAVING MYSELF, AS ALWAYS.  I THINK YOU HAD GONE TO THE STORE.  ANYWAY, I WAS JUST PLAYING AND ALL AT ONCE I HEARD "WALDO BEHAVE!"  I LOOKED ALL OVER FOR YOU BUT YOU WERE NOT HOME.  SO I WENT BACK TO PLAYING.  THEN I HEARD IT AGAIN, "WALDO, BEHAVE!"  THIS CAUSED THE OTHER BULLDOGS TO GIGGLE.  ESPECIALLY JUSTICE.  FINALLY MISS BUTTONS TOLD ME IT WAS BUCKWHEAT THE BIRD WHO YELLED AT ME. MISS BUTTONS SAYS HE HEARS WHAT PEOPLE SAY AND THEN HE COPIES IT.  I DO NOT HEAR BUCKWHEAT YELL AT THE OTHER BULLDOGS."
 
MOM-"WELL WALDO, YOU HEAR BUCKWHEAT TELL ME "GET TO WORK", "ANSWER THE PHONE", "BUCK IS READY TO GO TO BED".  HE SAYS LOTS OF THINGS AND HE SINGS TOO. I THINK I HAVE TOLD YOU SEVERAL TIMES TO BEHAVE AND I GUESS HE JUST COPIED ME SAYING THAT."
 
WALDO-"THAT IS NOT FAIR MOM.  HE SHOULD YELL AT SOME OF THE OTHER DOGS TOO. ESPECIALLY PRETTY BOY JUSTICE.  OH, JUSTICE HAS THAT SWEET LITTLE FACE AND HE ACTS LIKE HE DOES NO WRONG.  BUT YOU KNOW JUSTICE STEALS THINGS.  HE STOLE ONE OF LUCY'S BONES.  I SAW HIM DO IT."
 
MOM-  "LISTEN WALDO, IT IS NOT NICE TO TATTLE ON SOMEONE EITHER.  NOW I THINK YOU SHOULD GET BACK TO YOUR ORIGINAL SUBJECT.  REMEMBER, BIRTHDAY CAKE AND JENNA?"
 
WALDO-"OKAY MOM, I WANT TO WISH JENNA A GREAT BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY WISH.  I HOPE SHE GETS A PRETTY CAKE AND BALLOONS AND PRESENTS!!!  YOU KNOW MOM, I REALLY LOVE PRESENTS."
 
MOM- "I KNOW THAT WALDO.  BY THE WAY WALDO, ONE OF THE CHRISTMAS PRESENTS LOOKS LIKE IT HAS BEEN,  UMM,  PLAYED WITH, OR PEEKED INTO.  DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT?"
 
WALDO-"YOU KNOW MOM, I REALLY NEED TO GO AND TAKE THAT NAP.  I NEED MY BEAUTY SLEEP."
 
JUSTICE-"HEY MOM, ASK BUCKWHEAT WHAT WALDO WAS DOING WHEN HE YELLED AT HIM."
 
MOM-"JUSTICE, DID YOU HEAR WHAT I SAID ABOUT TATTLE TALES?"
 
JUSTICE-"I DID NOT SAY ANYTHING MOM, I JUST TOLD YOU TO ASK THE BIRD."
 
WALDO-"JUSTICE, BE QUIET AND MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!!"
 
MOM-"THAT IS ENOUGH BOYS, BOTH OF YOU GO TAKE A NAP.  WHAT WILL MARIAH AND JENNA THINK OF YOU TWO ACTING UP LIKE THIS, ESPECIALLY A WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS.  AND BESIDES THIS IS A BIRTHDAY WISH TO JENNA."
 
JUSTICE AND WALDO TOGETHER-" WE ARE SORRY.  OKAY, BUCKWHEAT CAN JOIN US NOW, HE KNOWS THE SONG HAPPY BIRTHDAY.  HERE WE GO--
 
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR JENNA,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU."
 
WALDO- "HAVE A GREAT DAY JENNA AND ONE DAY, WE MAY JUST SHOW UP FOR CHEESEBURGERS WITH YOU TOO!!!!"
 
**OKAY FOLKS, ONE WEEK UNTIL  JESUS' BIRTHDAY.  LET'S ALL REMEMBER THAT IS THE TRUE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS.  SAY YOUR PRAYERS AND THANK JESUS FOR ALL HE HAS DONE FOR US.
 
LOVE,
SIR WALDO MCGEE
 
WALDO-"UMM MOM, WHY ARE YOU LETTING JUSTICE PUT HIS PICTURE ON MY BLOG??"
 
MOM-"IT IS NICE TO SHARE THINGS WALDO. I AM SURE MARIAH AND JENNA SHARE THINGS TOO.  IT WILL NOT HURT TO LET JUSTICE HAVE HIS PICTURE ON YOUR BLOG."
 
JUSTICE-"THANKS MOM,  AND THANK YOU WALDO  FOR SHARING."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARIAH

HELLO EVERYONE,
 
I AM DEVOTING THIS BLOG ENTRY TO A YOUNG LADY NAMED MARIAH.  SHE IS CELEBRATING HER  11 nth  BIRTHDAY ON DECEMBER 12, 2008.  MARIAH IS A NEW SUBSCRIBER TO MY BLOG. SHE HAS WRITTEN ME THE NICEST EMAILS. I WANT TO THANK HER, AS I REALLY LIKE GETTING THEM.  I WISH I COULD BE WITH HER PERSONALLY ON HER BIRTHDAY, I WOULD TAKE HER OUT FOR A DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER, FRENCH FRIES, AND A MILK SHAKE.  I CONSIDER THAT THE PERFECT BIRTHDAY MEAL.  IT WOULD THEN BE FOLLOWED BY A NICE PIECE OF ANGEL FOOD CAKE. 
 
YEA, YEA, YEA, IT IS HUMAN FOOD, BUT LET'S FACE IT, I CONSIDER MYSELF A HUMAN.  MOM DRESSES ME UP, SHE LETS ME SLEEP WITH HER SOMETIMES, SHE TALKS TO ME LIKE A PERSON, AND I HAVE MY OWN BLOG.  PLUS, WHENEVER I TRAVEL, I RIDE IN THE FRONT SEAT AND HELP MOM FIND HER WAY TO STRANGE PLACES.  (ONE DAY I WILL WRITE ABOUT THE TIME I HAD TO GUIDE MOM THRU WHAT MOST PEOPLE KNOW AS WALTON'S MOUNTAIN.  POOR MOM, SOMETIMES SHE HAS TROUBLE FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS.  UMM, WE BETTER KEEP THAT A SECRET BETWEEN YOU AND ME,  OKAY?) 
 
TO MARIAH
HAPPY YAPPY BIRTHDAY MARIAH
MAY THIS ONE BE JUST AS SPECIAL
AS YOU ARE,
MAY YOU ENJOY THE WHOLE DAY
AND HAVE LOTS OF FUN
MAY YOU ALWAYS KNOW HOW
MANY PEOPLE LOVE YOU
INCLUDING ME
AND KNOW I AM THINKING OF YOU.
 
ONE DAY, YOU MAY JUST BE SUPER SURPRISED.  I MAY SHOW UP IN PERSON AND TAKE YOU OUT FOR THAT SPECIAL CHEESEBURGER.
 
BE SURE TO THANK GOD FOR ALL HE DOES FOR US.
 
LOVE,
YOUR SPECIAL BULLDOG FRIEND
SIR WALDO MCGEE

WILL SOMEONE PLEASE CALL MOM AND TELL HER THAT DECEMBER IS HERE AND CHRISTMAS IS THIS MONTH.  SHE HAS REALLY BEEN BUSY.  IN FACT, WE DID NOT GET OUR THANKSGIVING TURKEY UNTIL A WEEK AFTER THE BIG TURKEY DAY.   OH, SHE HAD IT IN THE FRIDGE.  BUT DEVIN THE YORKIE DECIDED TO HAVE PUPPIES ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON BEFORE THANKSGIVING.  SHE HAD SOME PROBLEMS AND MOM STAYED WITH HER UNTIL 3 IN THE MORNING.  MOM EVEN HAD TANIA (ANOTHER BULLDOG BREEDER) COME LOOK AT DEVIN.  WE WERE ALL SLEEPY AND MOM DID NOT FEEL LIKE COOKING.  THEN SOME FRIENDS CAME ON FRIDAY AND THEY HAD HAD TURKEY SO THEY WANTED SOMETHING ELSE TO EAT.  FINALLY, ALL OF US BULLIES AND ALL THE LITTLE DOGS TOLD MOM THAT IT WAS TIME TO GET  THAT BIRD OUT AND PUT IT INTO THE OVEN.  IT WAS WELL WORTH THE WAIT.  WE COULD EAT TURKEY EVERY DAY. BUT MOM SAID NO, SHE WAS NOT COOKING A BIRD EVERY DAY.  
 
I GUESS ALL OF YOU NOTICED THAT I HAVE NOT WRITTEN FOR A WHILE EITHER.  I HAVE TOLD MOM LOTS OF STORIES BUT MOM HAS NOT TAKEN THE TIME TO WRITE THEM.  SO THIS IS A SHORT NOTE TO TELL EVERYONE THAT I AM STILL KICKIN' AND WILL GET MOM ON THE STICK. 
 
IN THE MEANTIME, I AM WISHING EVERYONE A SAFE AND  FUN HOLIDAY TIME.  BE SURE TO THINK OF ALL THE LITTLE FOUR LEGGED CRITTERS WHO DO NOT HAVE HAPPY HOMES.  PLEASE TAKE FOOD AND TOYS TO YOUR LOCAL SHELTERS.   THE SHELTERS CAN ALWAYS USE KITTY LITTER, DOG BISCUITS, CAT CHOW, DOG FOOD.   AND IF YOU HAVE ROOM,  ADOPT AN EXTRA PET. I GET TIRED OF THE WALKING FLEA HOTELS  (CATS) AROUND HERE BUT MOM SAID THEY ARE ALL NEUTERED AND ARE NOT BOTHERING ME.  WELL, THAT IS HER OPINION.  I PERSONALLY DO NOT THINK THEY SHOULD WALK IN MY BACK YARD.  THEY HAVE THE WOODS.  THEY HAVE A BARN OF THEIR OWN.  WHY DO THEY MEANDER DOWN TO MY YARD?  OKAY, I WILL GET OFF OF THAT SOAPBOX.  MOM WILL COME IN HERE AND TELL ME TO BE QUIET ABOUT CATS. 
 
MOM IS GOING TO RING THE BELL FOR THE SALVATION ARMY ONE DAY.  I AM GOING TO SEE IF SHE WILL LET ME GO WITH HER.  I THINK THAT WOULD BE SO MUCH FUN.  I KNOW IF I GET TO GO, SHE WILL GIVE ME THAT SPEECH ABOUT BEHAVING, NOT JUMPING UP ON ANYONE,  AND THAT I AM NOT TO ASK FOR CHEESEBURGERS.  BUT I BET I WOULD GET A LOT OF ATTENTION.  I WILL JUST CALL THE SALVATION ARMY PLACE TOMORROW AND ASK PERSONALLY.  THAT MIGHT BE GOING OVER MOM'S HEAD, BUT SHE IS SO BUSY, SHE WILL PROBLAY NOT REALIZE I AM ON THE PHONE.  GEE FOLKS, DON'T I GET GREAT IDEAS?
 
WELL, I AM GOING TO CLOSE FOR NOW.  I WILL WRITE LATER THIS WEEK AND LET YOU KNOW ABOUT THE BELL RINGING JOB. 
 
BE SURE TO THANK GOD FOR ALL HE DOES FOR US.  AND REMEMBER CHRISTMAS IS TO CELEBRATE JESUS' BIRTHDAY. 
 
LOVE,
SIR WALDO MCGEE
 
P.S.  I GUESS EVERYONE WANTS TO KNOW WHO THAT CUTE LITTLE PUPPY IS?  WELL, I WILL LET YOU THINK ABOUT IT FOR A WHILE BEFORE I TELL YOU THE BIG SECRET.  BUT I WILL TELL YOU HER NAME IS LIBERTY AND  SHE WAS BORN ON ELECTION DAY AT SERENITY HAVEN KENNELS.  SO STAY TUNED FOR MY NEXT NEWSLETTER TO FIND OUT MORE INFORMATION.  ONE HINT, THAT IS MOM'S HAND HOLDING HER.

LOVE,
WALDO
 
I CANNOT BLAME LIBERTY FOR FALLING ASLEEP.  WAITING FOR MOM TO DO SOMETHING RIGHT TAKES FOREVER.  SORRY MOM, BUT IT DOES.
 
(WALDO-- THIS IS MOM,  GO TO BED NOW!!!)
 
GEE, BUSTED AGAIN.  LOVE, WALDO AGAIN
