Days Seven and Eight
Well I am pretty excited and I KNOW that I missed a day in our song about Christmas. We left off with the six geese a-laying, which was a pretty funny cartoon with six geese sticking out from under the covers. But then I missed the SEVEN SWANS A-SWIMMING and I am really bummed about that, but my Executive Assistant (Mom) fell down on her job yesterday and left me holding the Mouse, so to speak.
But anyway, I discovered that there are a pair of mute swans swimming around in England on the waters of Leith, and they have been swimming and hatching babies for years in the same place. This year, guess what? They had seven little baby swans and you can count them.
DO YOU NOT THINK THIS IS PRETTY AMAZING? I do, but then, as you know, sometimes it doesn't take a whole lot to amuse me.
So now it is the EIGHTH and so we neeed to find eight maids a-milking. This may be hard. But check this out, please! Not only can you find the maids all by yourself, you can also find everything else we have talked about so far. That would be eight maid, seven swans, six gees, five rings, four birds, three hens AND a partridge in a pear tree. I am going to stay up all night if I have to and find all the things.
Being the Reporter Extraordinary that I am, I found this wonderful place to go to find out HOW STUFF WORKS I guess I shouldn't tell everyone about this place, because now you will be able to get a lot of information all by yourself and you won't need me anymore.
But Mom says, everyone will still love me because it is much more fascinating to get information from a Blogging PitBull, escpecially one as wonderful and beautiful and delightful as I am.
So find yourself some Maids and tell me where they are!
Love and only a few days to go,
Bob

Well, Bob, I have failed to find all the items in the picture (or, other, my Mom said her eyes started hurting so she quit looking). She found many of Maids Milking, Swans, Golden Rings, etc., but she failed to find the Partridge in a Pear Tree!!! I want a new Mom and I mean now! What a loser I have for a pawrent. She only looked at the picture for about 30 minutes when she just flat-out gave up.
Don't worry about telling us about "How Stuff Works"; Mom says she already knows about the place on the internet. She ought to; heck, her whole life is spent on the internet!!!
I'm so disgusted I can't dictate any more to my Mom, my mouse person. I'd leave home, but we're right in the middle of a blizzard outside and this house is really warm.
I hope you are nice and warm, too. I love the snow, but with a windchill of 8 degrees, I don't like to play in it for very long.
Wooof!

Oh my, Blazer, this is unfortunate. First off, when you get frustrated with your mother, just remember you are the only pup in the house and even though you live with kitties, it is pretty special to be the only dog. I do, after all, have to compete with three other poochies. Sometimes four when one of our clients is staying with us, as in now when little Riley Beemin is here.
My Mom and my Sister didn't find everything either, but they are going to work on it later today if they have a little bit of time. Last night we saw your town on the television and the storm seemed pretty awful. Here we just have a LOT of rain and it is bitterly cold, but no white stuff.
Please do not be frustrated with your Mom, who loves you very much. Just let her have a little nap, and try it again. And remember it's the spirit that counts. Put another log on the fire, fix her a nice cup of cocoa and kiss her tenderly.
Your BFF,
Bob
