As an aside, you, my faithful fans, know of my ultra close friendship with Santa. In pursuing knowledge of my ancestry, I've learned that my biological father and mother also enjoyed a special bond with the Man: note, their names are recorded as Saint Nicholas and Christmas Day. Sycophantic names, indeed; but one can't choose one's family. As you know, my own abiding friendship with Santa relies on our bond of mutual respect, admiration & liking. (type Santa is the blog search bar to locate entries about our long-term relationship)
In any case, although today is my birthday, I've received no (almost no) presents. I was expecting 8, one to commemorate each year of my life. Since it's still early in the day, I've decided to post my wish list. You still have about 18 shopping hours remaining:
List of 8 possibles for Mercury's birthday gifts, 2013
A doggie cam (to hang on my collar and record events at my eye level)
A flat TV of my very own
A smart phone, iphone preferred but will accept Galaxy
A huge basket of doggie treats
Real doggie ice cream
A bone pattern QR Tag
A Crypton Dog Earred Mess Mat
A little baby brother or little baby sister, toy or miniature French poodle, preferably red, apricot, brown or white with apricot ears
Pictured here is the one gift I did receive. Maman and Papa presented me with:
A leather collar with a diamond and platinum charm in the shape of a Mercedes logo. Needless to say, I was dumb-founded when I opened the package. A collar (symbol of oppression), a Mercedes logo (symbol of rapacious capitalism): no food, no toy, no electronics, not even a fashionable t-shirt.
I won't say this is the worst birthday ever. I won't say I'm ungrateful for what I have received this day (food to eat, a place to sleep, a very brief walk). I won't say I'm counting on you, my fans, to resurrect this day from the doldrums to a very happy birthday high.
All I shall say is: joyeux anniversaire to me!
