Anyone who knows me
knows that it ain't no blarney that
St. Patrick's Day is one
of my favorite days.
For that one day,
even the most un-Irish of us
are officially Irish.

These are my puppy photos at 5 1/2 weeks.
Aren't I a little sweetie-pie?????







Top O' The Mornin' To Ya ~



My name is *Mateer's My Irish Blessing* ~

~ My everyday name is just *Blessing*.

Daddy says I am a "mixed" blessing.
What exactly does he mean by that?

My favorite activites include
chasing Leprechauns,
and dancing the jig.
As you can tell ~ I love Irish music.
I wanted to try out for "River Dance"
but Legend said I have four left paws.

I also spend alot of time looking for rainbows
and searching for that pot of gold. .

Here I am at 10 weeks ~
I am getting to be such a big girl!

I love to lay in Mommy's antique chair ~



It's a really nice place to sleep ~



Please don't make me get down Mommy ~
I promise not to chew the pillow ~



Here I am with my pink bunny ~



I wonder what happened to my little yellow duckie ~



Hmmm ~ where is that yellow duckie?



I'm tellin' Mommy!
M-O-M-M-Y ~ M-O-M-M-Y
Mystique' took my duckie again.
Make her give it back!

THANK YOU MOMMY!


I was so-oooo worried ~




This looks like a nice place to nap ~
I better sleep close to my toy basket.
Every time I close my eyes,
Mystique' tries to steal my toys.



What a good time to steal Blessing's toys ~ *giggle*

Mommy gave your toy basket to ME ~
Now your toys are mine, mine, all MINE!



Why didn't Mommy buy ME a purple hedgehog?
Blessing gets everything ~
I wanted the purple one ~
not the dumb ugly stupid orange one.







Thank goodness it's just a dream ~


My little purple hedgehog is safe with me ~


*Notice the teeth marks on the table.
That was Mystique's creativity~

*Hint ~ If you buy a French puppy ~
LOCK HER UP GOOD & TIGHT!!!

French puppies chew EVERYTHING!

Irish puppies NEVER chew anything
they aren't supposed too.

*I'm all grown up now.

AN IRISH BLESSING

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face ~
And the rains fall soft upon your fields. ~
And, until we meet again,
may God hold you in the hollow of his hand.




A Dog's Ten Commandments

My life is likely to last 10 to 15 years.
Any separation from you
will be painful for me.
Please consider that
before you buy me.

Give me time to understand
what you want from me.

Place your trust in me,
it is crucial to my well being.

Don't be angry with me for long,
and please don't lock me up as punishment.

You have your work,
your entertainment and your friends ~
I have only you.

Talk to me.
Even if I don't understand your words,
I understand your voice
when you're speaking to me.

Remember that I will never forget how you treat me.

Remember before you hit me that I have teeth that could easily crush the bones of your hand but that I choose not to bite you. I have only love for you.

Before you scold me for being uncooperative, obstinate, or lazy, ask yourself if something might be bothering me... Perhaps I'm not getting the right food
or I've been out in the sun to long,
or my heart is getting old and weak.

Take care of me when I get old, you too will grow old. Go with me on difficult journeys. Never say "I can't bear to watch it," or, "Let it happen in by absence." Everything is easier for me if you are there.

Here is the answer to Meeghan's riddle ~
Did you guess Lucky Charms cereal?

Nay, it's not Lucky Charms ~ sorry, hee hee! ~

Leprechauns eat "Fairy Berry Delight" for breakfast.

They LOVE fairy berries or strawberries & cream.

Here is the recipe so you can prepare some for yourself.
If you have any "wee ones" about ~
they are sure to come runnin'!
