Pig Latin

I had a lot of fun wearing a toga with Zach and Mommy today! Zach and Mommy had the great idea to fight the dog days of summer by playing games around the house. The put on togas and played Roman conquerors. I was hanging around, and someone asked "Et tu, Piggy?" So I decided to find a toga and play, too!

Tell Me This Didn't Happen

I was traumatized earlier today at the gym daycare when some mean older kid stole me away from Zach. I was sad and I know my buddy Zach was sad, too. Thankfully Zach's mommy and daddy spotted me with the perpetrator of the crime, and rescued me. That kid was mean and didn't want to give me back and that wasn't nice! Zach's parents told Zach that they wouldn't let it happen again since I'll have to stay in the safety of the car in the future. But it sure was nice to have Zach tell me later in the day when we were alone on the couch that it wouldn't happen again. I have the best buddy EVER!

A Couple of Clarifications

First of all, I'd like to address the confusion surrounding what a certain daycare teacher (cough...cough..Ms. Karen) claimed was the reason for me being wet the other day when Zach, Ellie and I got picked up at the end of the day. I can totally assure you that it had nothing to do with any puddles or my supposed landing into one. Zach totally got it right when he told everyone that the reason I was wet was from me sweating. What can I say? I sweat a lot when I exercise - whose fur wouldn't get wet from that? I try to wear a sweat band, but that only helps a little bit. Puddle my tail!
I also understand that there has been a lot of confusion surrounding the mass text messaging that occurred earlier today from some guy named Barack Obama. I categorically deny being the Democratic Vice Presidential candidate for 2008. I told this guy earlier in the day when he called to talk about being his dark horse running mate that first of all I'm a pig - NOT a horse (duh!). Secondly, I told him to stop calling in the middle of my workouts. I get very sweaty when I'm exercising making it hard to hold the phone and I hate to lose my focus. I am, after all, seriously training for the 2009 Piggy Olympics. Sheesh - leave a hard training pig alone, won't ya?! And lastly, what I did tell him was that I would be his "VIP" (Very Into Pizza) advisor. Guess he thought I said "VP." ANYWAY - on top of all of that, I'm WAY too busy keeping up with my buddy Zach, so Mr. Obama will have to find someone else to fill the VP role.

Piggy Back Riding!

Today Zach took me along to the super cool Olympic party at Aunt Tabby and Uncle Brett's house! We had tons of fun, and I even got a piggy back ride from the beautiful and talented Sienna - HOORAY! I'd say that we won the gold medal in this event for sure!

The Olympics Are Here!

And what says 'Opening Cermonies' better than some good ol' pizza?! I was so excited when Zach's mom and dad ordered pizza to sit and enjoy along with watching the beginning of the Olympics!! The opening cermonies were absolutely amazing and majestic.

I enjoy watching the Olympics, and am really glued to the TVV to watch swimming. I am thinking of trying out for the 2009 Piggy Olympics - I can so totally win all of the events!http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig_Olympics

But the Olympics I want to go see are the Pizza Olympics...mmmmmmmmmmmm!http://www.deliciousitaly.com/prodotto.php?id=377&regione_id=5/ Now I know you are saying to yourself "Piggy, isn't it going to be too difficult to make pizza without opposable thumbs?" But who said anything about MAKING the pizza? They need tasting judges, and I am their man...errrr...PIG...with the pizza judging plan!

It's Good To Be The King!

Today I was made royalty in Zach's daycare class! Ms. Karen and the kids made me a fancy crown out of pipe cleaners, and I had my own throne, too! Talk about feeling special - wow! I'll be adding that to the small collection of other crowns that I have earned. I like to keep things like that quiet since I don't like to draw the attention to myself. But......since I'm on the topic, I don't mind sharing that I was crowned "King Pizza 2006" by the Future Pizza Farmers of Greater Chandler for my prize winning display in the Maricopa County Fair titled "The Pizza Life Cycle - From Farm to Trough." And then there was the time that I won the Disco King title, but I don't really like to talk about that one, because - hey - even I'm embarrased about that whole disco thing.

C is for Cookie!!!!!!!!!

I GOT A HUG FROM COOKIE MONSTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In a moment that still just about makes me wet my fur, I was able to get a hug from the one and only Cookie Monster! That's right, my pal and favoritest Sesame Street character EVER, Cookie Monster! Luckily Zach remembered to bring me along with him on his trip with the family to Sea World in San Diego, and I had a FANTASTIC time! Zach even brought me to Breakfast With Elmo, where I got to meet my Muppet hero Cookie Monster! The C-Mon (as he lets me call him) was in top form on our visit - dancing up a storm with Ellie! Zach was feeling a wee bit nervous about hanging out with Cookie Monster, but he didn't mind letting Cookie give me a big hug after he gave Ellie a big hug, too! What a great experience! Later, I told Zach everything was okay, and that Cookie Monster was a great guy - and that seemed to help out.

I was a bit taken aback in the breakfast buffet line when the lady in charge of the hash browns told me that there was no pizza being served. I kindly asked her to check again with Elmo, since I was a VIP (Very Important Pig), but she just sadly shook her head and told me to take the hash browns and move along so the kids behind me could eat. I was even hoping they might have had a nice little breakfast pizza - but no luck. Everything was MUCH better after the Cookie Monster hug, though!
