Tommy B’s Thoughts for the day

I have had one of the weirdest days that I have had in a while. I know what some of you are probably thinking and just because I’m kind of weird doesn’t mean that today was a normal day for anyone else. Ever had one of those days where you think that is a dream and that there is no way that this can possibly be really happening. Well today was really like that for me.

I woke up this morning and had my dog Earnhardt come and jump on me to wake me up. Well I grabbed him and his leash and went back to sleep. When I woke back up about 15 minutes later I found myself sharing a pillow with him. The thing that was interesting id that when we were sharing the pillow but we were not sharing the same side of the pillow. He ad burrowed down underneath the pillow propped the pillow up and we were both leaned against one another with the pillow in between us.

After that I had to take Earnhardt to preschool so that he could attend his party. He always gets to go to preschool on his birthday because it is usually the last week of school and it makes the kids really at ease since the are rowdy and excited about graduating. The class my mom teaches goes t the patch of grass in front of the youth building at church to watch as Earnhardt does some tricks for them. The class sat there in wonder as Earnhardt as he did simple things like sit and lay down and shake paws. The one that they liked the best is a trick that I taught Earnhardt just messing around one day. He sits down and I raise a treat over his head. I can make him wait either no time or I can make him wait for over a minute before giving him the command to get the treat. When he gets it he jumps into the air and lans on the ground finishing his treat. A couple ofkids even brought him things like milk bones and one student brought him a ball to play fetch with. The kids got to come up and pet him and wish him a happy birthday in person. Some of the boys and girls think of that dog as if he is one of their class mates. One of the kids gave Earnhardt a hug around his neck, which worried me about because I was worried about how he would react being a stranger hugging his neck. He looked and acted like he loved it his tail was wagging and he was smiling. After he preformed for my mom’s class the other classes came out to see him. I did the same tricks for them as I did for the other class.

I took Earnhardt back to the house and him being the greatest dog in the world jumped up on the couch and looked me square in the eye to say “its been a long day we need a nap.” My dog is the most influential people because it took no time at all to convince me that I too needed to lay down a take a nap on the couch. Needles to say we woke up two and a half hours later when my mom came home.

I helped my mom clean up the house and some running around town. We had family coming over tonight for a little get together. The get together as you might have guessed but the rest of the blog was a birthday party for Earnhardt. The family came over and we ate and talked them Earnhardt came in the house to sounds of “Happy Birthday” and he did some tricks for the kids and got even more treats then ate some ice cream . My mom made cupcakes for use to eat that was made to look like Earnhardt. They looked amazingly well and I will probably post a pic of the cupcake tomorrow. Everyone one left and he got his big present a bone that was charred with some of the meat still on the bone and all the marrow inside. He loved it and tore into it. That bone is not gonna last the week if he keeps the same pace as he had tonight about eating it.

Well that was my day and I will post a bonus blog in the morning or early afternoon about thought I got while listening to some music today.

I’m not sure what to do with my hands…
