The decorating has begun

I do love Christmas and the house does look great every year, but what I don't like is that my dog bed always gets moved around so I tried a new strategy this year.  I got Caiden, yes the bad puppy, to drag my new bed all over the place - he is so easy to manipulate.  Allana fell for it and squished my new bed under the one nesting table and only the top of the table got decorated so far!  Perfect!  I think my bed is safe for another Christmas season.

Excellent Friday the 13th

O.K., last night's bath wasn't so bad as I got to go to school with Allana today!  It was a great day.  I met all the students as they got off the buses or out of their cars.  I even got to meet with one of my favorite students.  He told me he was going to move over Christmas.  I'm really going to miss him.  I think I need to learn how to use Skype or face-time.  I think that would be a good idea as then I could visit with him even though he lives far away. 

Another day with grandma

Today I had another great day with grandma!  She let me go outside and chase the outdoor kitties! Dan and Allana never let me out the door to do that, but I'm sure grandma must have let me out on purpose.  I'm still not sure why she chased me down into the woods and over to the neighbors place.  I'm sure she really did want me to go outside to chase those kitties.  Besides, she didn't go to her physical therapy appointment today, so I'm sure she just wanted to run with me.  Maybe it was like that Christmas song... you know the one...

Over the river and through the woods
to grandmother's house we go...

Oh, well, maybe not.  I thought maybe the words were something like this instead...

Over the river and through the woods
Oh grandmother runs with me...

Oh oh!  Dan is looking for a dog to bath.. No!  not me!

Another reason why I love Grandma

Grandma bought me a new dog bed!  It is so wonderful.  It is just the perfect size for me so I don't have to share.

Allana was gone for a day but came home with Auntie Laura.  It was a great surprise as I had just seen Auntie Laura last weekend so seeing her two weekends in a row was great.  It was a little weird though as I kept singing "Buddy, the Elf".  I guess they enjoyed the musical last night!

I love Grandma!

Now as you know, I really do love Daniel and Allana as they keep me healthy and give me lots of attention, but having grandma around all the time is sooooo awesome!  First of all, grandma is keeping me company as she is here all day and Dan has been staying home with her too, but he keeps doing chores and stuff like that.  Grandma likes to read the paper and read her book and magazines so she stays close to me. The second great thing about having grandma here is that there is so much food in the house.  My sweet brown eyes are earning me lots and lots of delicious treats.  We have things like fresh fruit and veggies in the house.  I am still holding out for some bacon though!

Abandoned Again!

O.K., so here's what happened.  Grandma decided that while she was here in Texas she would get her other hip replaced.  She had it done on Monday and tonight I noticed two things: 1. She made dinner so there was a wonderful supper on the table when Allana finally got home from work and 2. Grandma has already started to abandon the walker!  I'm pretty sure she is not to be walking without it already and she did this last time when she had her other hip replaced. The walker looked more like a piece of furniture instead of an assistive device for walking.  Here is the proof:

Do you see grandma anywhere in the photo?  hmmm?  That's correct, there is no grandma present, just an abandoned walker.

Grandma must be feeling better, but she still looks like she is feeling pretty rough and she went to bed really early.  I was hoping for some ice cream tonight while she watched T.V. but she must be feeling bad as she had dinner and went to bed.  I hope she feels better tomorrow.

Grandma came back

I thought Grandma had flown back to the snow and cold as she left yesterday morning at 5:00 a.m. but she came back home tonight.  She looked really tired and was using a walker.  This reminds me of her hip surgery she had 2 years ago.  I guess she will be here for a few weeks.  Allana is being really, really nice to her and even made her a turkey sandwich for supper.  Usually grandma makes the meals around here.  Allana has mastered the freezer to the microwave meals but that is usually about it.   I hope grandma gets better soon as I don't want to loose weight.  I don't beg for food as much when Allana "cooks".
