What's the point of a beautiful dog if you can't put him to work? More in an upcoming shoot.

Well another birthday has come and gone. And this was one of the better ones. To the best of my memory this is the swag count.



Puma - Fleece wear collection for winter

Puma - Del Mundo shoes

Movado - Chronograph

2 Silver "hi tech" rings from Japan

Canon - Photo Printer

Versace - Couture Collection Shirt

Armani - Shirt

Rayban Aviators - Green lens

& a few more things that I'm sure I'm forgetting.



A whole bunch of expensive dinners I didn't pay for,

a day at a Spa with deep tissue massage, facial, man+ped and general relaxation



But the highlight of the birthday is Diggers!







Diggers simply "arrived" at my friends Brothers house when she was visiting. He was injured and had to have one of this back toes amputated. The odd thing is the night before I had been watching a Documentary on Polar Bears with Ewen McGregor and he was looking at the sled dogs and commenting on their different colored eyes. I thought that maybe it would be nice to get a Australian Shepherd rather than Cattle Dogs again because the Shepherds are generally sweeter dogs. The next day Diggers shows up, lays down on their porch and didn't leave! It's always nice when God gives you a present. I took him out last night for a walk and for him it must have been a scene out of The Crow. He was a farm animal and I don't think had ever been in the city. All the people walking around, and the cars must have been quite a shock. He handled it all very well except he's scared of mannequins in the window! Well they are headless.



He's an absolutely beautiful dog, sweet and well natured. A real pleasing personality. I couldn't be happier. And to top if all off, a chick magnet extreme!

For those of us born on: October 31

Happy Birthday: You have way too much going for you this year to allow setbacks. You can do nothing about the past, but you can take advantage of the opportunities of the present. Nothing will come easy, but the struggle will make your victory that much sweeter. -- Birthday Baby: You are unique, empowering and live very much in the moment. You are an action person who is ready to defend, honor and obey when need be. You have style, stamina and the wherewithal to laugh at your own mistakes.





Well that's all pretty typical stuff. At least it's nothing of the oh-shit hold on variety.



Day of the Dead update on birthday swag and events tomorrow.
