Happy St. Pat's Day from Mr. Dion DiPoochy

So I think my Mom has run away to live with the gypsies.
Either that, or she is out in the wild countryside, buying other people's dishes.

And that leaves it to me, Dion DiPoochy, to wish everyone a Happy St. Patrick's Day.

Let's see. . . what do I know about St. Patrick?

St. Patrick is famous for driving all the cats out of Ireland, making it a happy and peaceful land --
a land where all the people give their corned beef to their dogs, and keep just the cabbage for themselves.

On St. Patrick's Day, people wear green even though it is not a very flattering color,

which you can tell because there are no green dogs.

Shamrocks are as tasty as clover, but harder to find.

Everyone says "Slainte!" to one another, which means:
"Pin your ears back, put your head down into your water bowl, and drink deep."

So, Slainte!

Mom was going to write about how she used to fool her children, my pet girls, into thinking Leprechauns has turned their breakfast pancakes green on St. Pat's Day, but she realized she had no green food coloring in the house, and also that she had to go out into the countryside and buy other people's dishes. Just because.

So . . . Happy St. Patrick's Day, go celebrate! While your dog does what he or she does best:

Sleep.
