2. Do you likes belly rubs like me?
I luvs, luvs, luvs belly rubs... I jumps up in a lap ('specially Daddy or Momma) and rolls ovfur so's dey can access my belly and gives me a rub! We usta has a naybor named Harry who gave me da best belly rubs! Evfurry time I saw him I would run to him and roll ovfur so's he could rub my tummy. He moved and ever since I gives whoevfur lives in his house da stink eye... dey ain't Harry, and I was just wild about Harry!

3. Are you a biter or a luver?

8. If when ya rides in da car duz ya git carsick and throw up on yer Mom?
Nope, I duzn't get carsick when I rides... which is good cuz I's been on car trips to California and Boston... dat's a long, long car ride!

Jezebel wuz da kitty when I got here... and we wuz best furiends, takin' naps together and sharin' goodies-- she evfun counter surfed fur me once... tossed a babyback rib down to me.

3. Whut's yer favoritest thang to do evfur?

I luvs summer... I is not a fan or da cold or wet, which we gits in da winter. I likes warm weather and sittin' out in da backyard. Summer is da best!

8. Is you scared of anyfing?
Pitbulls. One attacked me in my front yard once. Daddy hadta save my life by kickin' it offa me.. it had me by the back of the neck and I were makin' da most awfulest screamy sound. Daddy is my hero, he saved me dat day. So I's skeered of pitbulls... don't likes 'em, nevfur will.

9. Do you bury fings fur later?
Nope, I duzn't. But da peeps had a basset gurl who usta do dat. Her name wuz Delilah... she would steal da boy dogs' treats and bury dem and dig dem up later.

    1. He wuz real scared cuz dat dog just ran right around him and went fur me. And once he punted it off me (evfun da kid dat owned it said it sailed 10 feet), it still just stared at me and didn't leave until da owner dragged it away. Dad limped for a week... but I wuz saved. He told Momma he had nevfur heard any animal make as horrible a sound as da scream I made when da dawg had me by da back of da neck. Dat's sayin' quite a bit since he worked some summers on his uncle's pig farm... nuff said.

  15. Oh Finley, I feel I know you so much better now. Those were great answers.
    And thank you so much for nominating me for the award. I admit I do feel flattered and therein lies the problem. Gail has always banned me from accepting ANY blog awards, on the grounds that I am quite big-headed (metaphorically if not literally) already.
    So thanks again, but I'm afraid I shall have to decline
