200th post and belated 1st blogiversary!

Wow! I can hardly believe I've had my bloggie going for over a year now. I started on June 1, 2008, with some gentle persuasion from my pal Asta. And here I am today, composing my 200th post!

It's been quite a year. In some ways, I can't believe a whole year has flown by. And in other ways, it's hard to remember life when I didn't know you, my friends.

As a single fella, I went on some crazy dates with some craz—err—lovely ladies. I'll never forget my first date with Lacie at Coney Island last summer.

At least the bite marks have healed up nicely.

And there was my big birthday celebration. I wonder why our two-leggeds don't want to celebrate their birthdays with a big parade?

I brought you along on some fun trips...

from the ocean....

to the mountains!
I rediscovered my inner Scots doggieness.

Travelled the world with my pals, especially my bestest mate, Eric Square Dog, over in old Blighty.

We joined our friends for all sorts of adventures - like the night we took over the Rainbowwow Room for an elegant evening of dining and dancing...and romancing!

I even met some of my blogging pals in person, like Sophie Brador and Stanley of Gooberstan. I met a lot of their human servants as well, like Toffee's Mommy and Daddy and Eric's 2-leggeds. And Mommy travelled all the way to France to meet Tommy, Tama-Chan and the dearly departed Sen-Chan, plus Vivi's Oncle U. Lacie, Scruffy and Baby Stan's Mumsie came to visit.And the Taylor Catssss Sloane even spent a weekend with Mica!

I received some wonderful presents (international tennis balls!) from around the world!

I even made my own movie with all of you as my co-stars which won the prestigious DWB Post of the Month and Blog of the Month.

(The only Oscar I want to receive has "Mayer" for its last name!)

And of course, the highlight has got to be my whirlwind romance with my darling Rosie Posie.

From our first date in Bermuda (well-chaperoned by Auntie Bailey, and accompanied by Lacie and Butchy and Wimsey).

Just look at that gorgeous girl! How could I help but fall head over paws?

I introduced you to some of my local friends as well... like my neighbor Bear.

And Asta and I had plenty of adventures and even a few platonic sleepovers!

You came along for a walk around the neighborhood with me, stopping for treats...

and meeting some strange characters along the way!

I snuck you into the fantastic Halloween Party at the West Village Dog Run...

...and we chased balls in the snow with Asta.

I even introduced you to some real celebrities, like Elvis from The Greatest American Dog.

Together we campaigned for some very worthy causes....

...and celebrated some historic victories!

Thanks to your generosity, I won a very prestigious award at the first MangoMinster International Dog Show...
An honor that I wear with pride (so much for humility!)

You were by my side during some very sad times....

...like when we lost Klaus...

...and my dearest Granny. Thank you. I'll never forget your kind words.

And soon, we'll have new lives to celebrate. The circle of life continues....

But as the song goes, "It's the laughter....

"That we will remember, whenever we remember....
"The Way We Fur...."

Looking forward to whatever the next year brings — here's to our next 100 posts!

Your pals,

Petey and Mica
