Atticus~ a little dog prepares for a big adventure

Dear Readers,

My mommy, who you know better at Queen Naughty Mickie, left her computer on, so I'm sneaking the opportunity to write on her blog! Shhh... don't tell!!  She told me that I'm going to have a very exciting day on Sunday, but I'll have to wake up very early. This isn't a problem because I like to watch the sunrise and listening to the birds chirping as they stretch their wings. Then, if my mommy is sleeping on her back, I crawl on to her chest and stare into her face until she wakes up so I give her a big "happy morning" kiss! Oh, but I'm rambling...

Sunday I get to wear a cape that matches my mommy's dress. It has jewels and glitter and tiger fur on it. I will meet all the people at the Pasadena Senior Center and in Memorial Park having fun before the parade. Do you think they will let me eat pancakes at the senior center's breakfast?  How many pancakes do you think I can eat?? The correct answer is-- all of them!

I understand that I will also have to behave because the people from television and newspapers will be there to talk to me. I hope the Food Channel people come and bring me some samples from their barbecue show. Oooo and the Animal Planet people and the friendly folks from the "Dog Tales" show- they feature lots of heroic and smart dogs on their shows and I'm smart and heroic, plus I'm very cute! Mommy said that KTLA is going to interview us between 7 and 8 a.m. on Sunday and there will be some of her reporter friends there too.

Later I will get to ride in a convertible (I love the wind in my face!) and smile at all the people on the sidewalks. I would wave, but I need to keep my balance while the car is moving, I hope the people will understand that tail wags are twice as good as paw waves!! But you can wave back with your paws- OK?!

I think mommy's remembered about the computer so I have to go. See you Sunday!!

Paws up,

Atticus
