I turned 1 today!

Hi everyone, it is me! Paco! Today is my 1st birthday so I told mom to let me write the blog today. Much to my daddy’s dismay, I started my day at 5am by jumping behind a dresser and meowing loudly until daddy woke up and tried to get me out. I love when I get to hide from him! I finally decided to come out from behind the dresser and tried to play with a lamp on top of it. I thought the lamp would look better on the floor, but daddy disagreed and put it back on the dresser. Then he called me a mean name, so I went behind the dresser again.

Mommy and daddy went off to work and I spent my day as I usually do: sleeping and hoping to see my new friend. I met a beautiful furry gal a few weeks ago and she sits on our front porch a couple times a week. We gaze into each other’s eyes and talk through the window. She hasn’t told me her name yet, but I call her the most beautiful name I can think of: Maria Bonita Burrito.

When mommy got home she brought in the mail and I got a Birthday card from my furry birth mother, Dorothy. She’s a sweet lady and it makes me happy to know she still thinks about me. I have seen pictures of her and I’m told I look a lot like her!

As a special birthday treat I was given a few pieces of steak. It smelled good, but I wasn’t in a carnivore mood, so my big brother Coda gobbled up the steak for me. I was ready to get to the presents! Oh boy oh boy! First I was given a shiny crinkle ball. It was ok, but I was pretty much not interested because I knew something better was in mommy’s bag of tricks. Then she pulled out this glorious green ball with a bell inside. My favourite color is green and I love anything that can make noise to annoy my daddy when he’s asleep. This was perfect! I kept shoving it under the couch where I couldn’t reach it, so my parents had to help me get it out each time. I did it on purpose. I love making them dote on me just because it is my birthday. Hehe.

The last gift was wrapped with a nice bow on top. I didn’t know how to open it, but once again, big brother Coda came to the rescue and opened it for me. It was a fish-mobile! I swatted it around for a bit and when Coda came around, I started swatting at him too. Hey, it is my birthday and I’ll swat if I want to!

After all of that excitement and playing I’m all tuckered out. I’ll take a catnap when mommy and daddy watch TV tonight just so I have enough energy to get up at 5 am again and play with my noisy green ball…right next to daddy. I might even take the green ball behind the dresser where daddy can’t get me.
