X-mas Card Perfect

Ever since that day in November when mommy baked this huge bird – unfortunately it wasn't for me – she has been going crazy about something called Christmas.

I don't remember ever celebrating this but I'm happy about all the things that are happening around the house.

Mommy brought and elf, his name is Ralphie and I love him. He kind of reminds me of one of my toys, but every time I try to get near him (and I don't do this too often), mommy and master tell me to leave him alone. Maybe once my human companions go to bed I'll get to play with Ralphie.

There is also this tree inside the house. At first I thought it was a real tree and I was so happy. With the cold winds outside nothing will make me happier than being able to go do my thing in a warm place. I went over to smell the tree and was so disappointed to find out it was a fake. I guess I won't be going there.

Mommy keeps bringing out boxes full of decorations for the tree. If the tree is not a real one it has to have a purpose and my guess is its purpose is to stand there and get decorated. The tree also has some boxes wrapped in a funny paper. They don't smell like anything I want to eat or play with so I'm just going to leave them alone.

I hear some of the boxes are for me but I've sniffed and sniffed and I don't think I want to open any of those boxes. They just don't smell like something I want.

The other day mommy got all crazy because she hadn't sent some Christmas card. She said she had no time to take a family picture since my master has been working late a lot. Somehow she decided that I would be the only one to appear on the card. Mommy grabbed a bow and a white blanket and set up the photo shoot in the middle of the living room. I didn't mind at all. Every time I did what mommy asked me to do I got a treat.

Well if Christmas will bring me as many treats as I got in this photo shoot I will love Christmas every year!

Trick or Treat

For Halloween mommy was super excited. She dressed me as a skeleton. I didn't keep the outfit on for more that 5 minutes. My back legs were a bit uncomfortable.

Mommy and I were waiting all afternoon for kids to come by, but only the neighbors came by. Now we have this huge bucket of chocolate left at home and I want to eat some. However, someone decided that chocolate is bad for dogs and now I can't have any. I guess my master will eat it as part of his lunch.

I wonder what I'll be next Halloween and if anyone will stop by to ask for candy.

Working From Home

I'm working too.

My days sometimes are lonely. Since mommy and master work from 9 to 5, I spend most of the day roaming around the house. I jump from the couch to mommy's bed, to the window seat and to the guest bedroom. I'm a good dog. Since I'm potty trained my humans don't have to worry about me making a mess. I don't chew on their shoes or underwear, that's what toys are for. The most trouble I can get into is by going under the bed blankets and unmaking the bed for mommy. She doesn't like that.

My humans come to see me every day during lunch time and I get so happy when I see them. Not only do I get to go outside and play with my neighborhood dog friends, but seeing my loved humans helps my day not be so lonely and boring.

Mommy gets to work from home a few days of the week and I love this. I can play with her when she is not too busy. I can ask her for treats and when I stare at her for a few minutes she takes me outside. I do this often, hahaha, but I don't always need to go. Sometimes the weather is nice and I just want to see if there is anyone out there. Some other times I just do it because I'm bored and I want mommy to stop working.

Don't get me wrong, I let her work a lot. I know she is busy and I know she loves her job. When I know she can't take me outside I lay next to her hoping that in between her typing and thinking she will lay her hand on my back and pet me. Working from home and next to mommy is the great. I just wish she could work from home every day or not work at all.
