The Gift

Hello Friends.

The other day my MOM got a gift.  Seems my buddy Bert wanted to give her a thank you gift.  He gave up a little kibble money and even treat cash to get her something.

He got her this great sweat shirt.  Look that's me on there.  And and at the top it says "I belong to Goose."  Just in case anyone wonders who my MOM belongs to.

And see what it says at the bottom.  "It is true that whenever a person loves a dog he derives great power."--Old Seneca Tribal Chief.
MOM just loves it Bert!  And while I know that it was completely a totally selfless gift I can't help but wonder, just a little bit of you gave it to her to help keep her throwing arm warm so she keeps throwing that ball for you during the cold winter.

Hehe I crack me up.  But I know there is some truth in that.  

And now I would like to sing you all a little song.  Join in if you know the words.  Me me meee meeee.  OK tuned up and ready to go.

I sing because I'm happy

I sing because I am free.

Maybe if I can get Dave and Zim and The OP Pack to join me, we can take this show on the road.

I sing because I'm happy because I keeping getting better and healthier.  I did not eat my breakfast yesterday morning.  And MOM was concerned, but I had ordered bacon and eggs but all I got was kibble.  Must have been an order mix up in the kitchen.  So I decided to pass up breakfast.  Last night MOM told me if I ate my dinner I would get a surprise on Thursday.  Ooooo a surprise!  Needless to say I ate my dinner.  I love MOM's surprises.
Blessings,
Goose

  2. Oh Goose - I am so sorry that I wasn't here to give you and your MOM words of love and support. Truth be told, I selfishly went awol for a little while. I am so glad that you're feeling better, and I hope that your regular vet is figuring things out. So, all of us - you, your MOM, me, Shyla - we are all at the vet on Monday figuring out serious stuff.

    My thoughts will be with you as you keep getting stronger, big Mr. Goose! I know how worried your mom must have been. Please tell her how sorry I am that I didn't read and find out about it.

  10. Hi Goose. We're not regular visitors but we read about you not feeling well over at Bert's and came to see how you were. We're glad to see you're better! I have been feeling a little off lately and my #1 has been cooking for me. I love fish best of all. Do you like fish?

    Woofs,
    Tommy

    Your good buddy Bert is a very very very thoughtful friend who knows just the right thing to do. My mom got a little misty when she saw the happy shirt. Every time your Mom wears it folks will smile.

    I'm so glad you are feeling better. After mom wiped her misty eyes she cracked up at you 'ordering eggs and bacon'!! When you take your show on the road I'll be your roadie!!
    Hugs madi your BFFF

  13. That's a wonderful sweatshirt... you should engage the swedish chef from muppet show for the kitchen, maybe then the eggs&bacon-express is rolling ... I'm so glad you are feeling better and I can't wait to hear about the surprise;o)

  14. That is a great shirt! Surprise is good!

  15. That is a beautiful gift that Bert made for your Mom. We think he should sell them in the stores. He can change the wording to we're furends with Goose. I bet Bert could sell like 87 gazillion of them too. Because everyone is your furend. I bet your Mom got all teary eyed seeing that.

    Bacon and eggs would have been fantastic! That surely WAS a mix up in the kitchen. Butt we understand the kibble issue. You need to continue getting healthy. I hope that today the short order cook gets your order right.

    Hugs,
    Lily Belle & Muffin

  19. I am mailing my dad to you this morning on the UPS truck cos he just finished cooking bacon (after my mom went to work) and he even shared some with sammer,me and mean ole cat dietzman. I have decided that he needs to fry you up some bacon and cook you his yummy eggs, so you be watchin for him. You might want to keep a wet cloth handy with lots of dishsoap on it tho cos he is a very very messy cook!!
    As far as the sweatshirt well it is just beautiful and how true are those words. Bert and his mom are just the best aren't they. I am saying lots of prayers everyday for you to get better and the vet to figure out what is going on with you. I am truly blessed to have you in my life.

  26. Hey Gosey Goose, I am so glad you guys like the shirt. My Vickie says your the best model ever and that there is no way we couldn't put that picture on something so the rest of the world could see what we see three days a week or more.

    I can't wait to see what your surprise is on Thursday and dont forget we meet with all our friends on Saturday for our weekend walk.

    I'd ask you if you were feeling better but you are sleeping on the princess and the pea bed right now so I can see you. You are looking much better than you did Sunday Morning, that is for sure.
    Your Buddy
    Bert

  27. BOL! You cracks me up Goose! Yea, my Ma ALWAYS messes up my breakfast orders (and my dinner orders, too!) What is a pup to do? I've been trying to figure out a way around it, butts so far, no ideas. So, kibble it is.
    Oh, your sweatshirt is just FABulous! Bert sure is a sweet, sweet friend!
    Keep singing, my friend.

    Kisses,
    Ruby

  28. Hi Goose, We are just so happy that you (Hunter too)are feeling better but your thing was much more scary. I'd be doing the Happy Dance for you and your mom. I love the shirt that Bert and his Vickie gave your mom-so cool and no doubt about who she belongs to.
    Hope you have a wonderful day.

  33. Hey Goose!
    Wow, what a great pressie! Guess what!!!! I live in the territory that belongs to the Seneca Indians! They lived all over my area when they were in power here, now there are still lots of them living here and even have their own special territory about 1 hour north of me. That saying is so cool! Love your song and I bet you get a cool surprise...we wanna see pix! So glad you're feeling better.

  37. Goose, we love your Mommys shirt, my Mommy went crazy for it. It is so perfect. Mommy and I are singing along as Mommy loves that song. Its too bad we can't all tour together, I can hold my own in soprano.

  39. I love the shirt!! Goose, I know your Mom is loved by so many, 2 and four legged and I know she has so much love to give to Bert and so many too--What a lucky boy you are to call her 'Mom!' I hope you're feeling better--Our boy Charlie sometimes misses a meal or two sometimes as well, and I give him a Pepcid which always helps...Take care!!
