Fridays with Floyd: Floyd's Resolutions

Fridays with Floyd is BACK!

Floyd came to me and told me he wanted to share his resolutions with you.

And while most people shared their resolutions last week, bassets aren't ones to do anything quickly.

So, in Floyd time, he is right on schedule.

Take it away, Bud.

Hello friends!!

My mama and papa are always harping on me to do this and do that but I have decided that these resolutions are going to be things that I WANT to do this year.
Without further adieu...

1.  Learn to shake. They have reallllly been pushing this one on me. The keep tempting me with boiled chicken, peanut butter and treats galore, but I just can not seem to conquer this one.  The problem is that I just do not have very good balance and taking one paw off the ground makes me nervous!  I think they would be really impressed if I could do it though.  I promise I am working on it!  Not that I am minding all of the treats though...

2. Wipe my own paws. The parents really insist on wiping all of my paws (and ears and belly) every time I come inside when it's nasty out.  It just drives me nuts! If I could just do it myself life would be a lot easier. Although, I do get a treat afterwards if I don't freak out on them so maybe I can deal with it...
3. Learn to type. I keep hearing that I get all kinds of fan (e)mail, tweets, texts and even a few packages in the mail.  Well, I would really love to respond to all of my fans on my own.  I think Mama probably does a pretty good job thanking everyone but I think I could do a better job.  She clearly doesn't add enough slobber to the thank yous. 
And while on the subject of using the computer, I need to tell Mama I want to start a Skype with Floyd series so I can interact with all of you lovelies.  What do we think of that?
4. Become more stubborn. If I do say so myself, I am really good at being stubborn.  But when you are great at something, you can always get better, right?  I like to live by the motto, 'I'll do what I want, when I want' and I execute it pretty well, if I do say so myself.  The parents don't seem to be a huge fan of this but we all know I run this show.
5. Nap more. Again, something that I excel at but can always get better.  There are a few hours a day I am not napping and could definitely squeeze a few more minutes of shut eye.  I need to work on not getting up every single time one of the parents makes a move or goes to another room.

And there you have it, my friends.
Wish me luck accomplishing these resolutions!

Oh wow, Floyd, I'm not sure you are going to be left alone with the blog anymore.
I would really love if you learned to shake though.  I'm not sure about being more stubborn, you are plenty stubborn enough as it is.  If anything, maybe you should work on being less stubborn. Let's focus on that.

And we would like to say a very special HAPPY BIRTHDAY (tomorrow) to our dog blog soul mate Kait!

We hope you have a fabulous day pretty lady!!! Tell Maddie to bake you a cake and bring you all the Diet Cokes you want!
