When Irish Bulldogs Eyes are Smiling!

We are gearing up here to celebrate St Patrick's day. Though there is not a smidgen of Irish blood in any of us we all love to celebrate the day! I made the traditional corn beef and cabbage dinner last night since we are going over by our friends house on Saturday. Yes we will have more then but it's like corn beef for the soul, its good to gorge on once a year. At least that is what Ozzie says!

Here is a little Irish-Bulldog ditty for you to sing for tomorrow. Yes Ozzie I know you're English. It's just for one day!

When Irish-Bulldogs eyes are smiling,
Sure, 'tis like the morn in Spring.
In the lilt of Irish laughter
You can hear the angels sing.
When Irish-Bulldogs hearts are happy,
All the world seems bright and gay.
And when Irish-Bulldogs eyes are smiling,
Sure, they steal your heart away.

Happy St "Pawtrick's" Day!

What a beautiful day for a parade! The weather here in the New York City metro area is suppose to be sunny with a high of 62 degrees! I am sure that there will be a lot more parade goers this year! I myself have only been to the NYC St Patrick's day parade once when I was about 19 years old. I remember it was cold and windy and I couldn't see a thing with folks stacked 5 deep along the sidewalk. There was a drunken celebrant in front of me that threw up on his shoes and that was the highlight of the parade...at least from my vantage point!

Ozzie's highlight today will be the smell of corn beef cooking on the stove. He will be waiting patiently for his piece but no cabbage please, we already have our digestive issues!

Here are some Irish wishes from Ozzie who today is an Irish Bulldog!

May your purse always hold a dog biscuit or two!
May the paw of a friend always be near you!
