Day 903: The Goose Is Evidently Gettin Fat!!!

It has been a VERY busy hustle and bustle week. And as the CHS (Chief Household Supervisor) around here, my "eye" is on overtime on a counta there has been so much to keep it on! It's been real fun... but the downside is that I haven't had a lot of time to blog...

I should probably start by tellin you that I am feelin much better. We are still tryin to find the balance in the 'wetness' of my food... I prefer it more dry than wet, but I also like soft food to go wif it. Perhaps I've just gotten spoiled wif all the pumpkin I've been gettin... I'm not ready to divulge. I prefer, instead, to keep the Mom guessin how to feed me, on a counta that is SUCH fun!!!

[FYI: My appetite is as strong as ever, but my comfort varies from day to day. I'm told that it most likely will return to normal. In the grand scheme of fings... It's not that big of a deal, but more just some fing for the Mom to fret over... as she is the CHF (Fretter)! The big issue is to find the balance of quality, holistic foods that achieve my desired results... AND feel good goin down my pie hole! Just sayin. 

Mmmmm... Pie!!! But I digress...

Amidst the flurry of furniture re-arrangement, the emptyin of boxes and the tissue paper rattlin... My nose on the little doo-dads is appreciated only so much, so I call an audible... And me and the Bleu lay low to figure out exactly what is goin on here...

I have been a very good boy and also tolerant of the Mom who is singin about a goose that is puttin on poundage. What exactly said goose's weight has to do wif an old man's hat, I am not entirely sure... But clearly this is a very important clue as to the disorder that is our Family Room right now...


My duty, as CHS, is to observe the activity and show appreciation for the singin... and to ensure that the Bleu respects [like he would touch em wif a ten foot pole] the fragile nature of all the little golden retriever and other doggy ornaments who wait in peace... on the coffee table.

There's not much room around the tree, so I've gotta give the tree trimmer space...
Just look, here she is as a blank canvas.

My first ornament this year is special: 

Given to me by my the Aunt Dav, this is a special ornament designed by Carrington, of Midland, Texas... for the Children's Art Project!!!

Flash Forward and Wah-Lah! My the Mom announced that OUR tree... Me and The Bleu's Tree... is the only tree that she's 'puttin up' this year. I like the other tree on a counta its whimsy, but I like the Mom's attention to the me us more. Just sayin.

And mine and the Bleu's and also the Mom's and the Comet's stockins are hung in the Family Room wif care... in hopes that the Fat Man will fill em up wif the good stuffs!

Left to right: Comet's stockin, My the Mom's stockin... [made by her Mom, my the grandmom... and is as old as she is]... Mine and the Bleu's [or the Bleu's and Mine, I forget]!

And now, Happy Holidays from the Sweet Bleu!

Peace from the East is the Big Boy...

Peace from the Norf... is the Sweet Boy Luke.

And Christmas Dreams, I am dreamin...
And Christmas Wishes, I am wishin...

To the You and all of the Yours!!!

Merry, Merry Christmas... to YOU ALL!!!

Day 902: Walkin Wednesday

My apology, in advance on a counta (1) the business of how this ended... and (2) the Mom's lack of business editin skills. Just sayin.

FYI: The temperature drop was abrupt. When we walked out of the house, the winds were calm... but by the time we reached the road, they were gustin from the north.

So while the Mom left in shorts and a t-shirt and in a few short minutes... she needed jeans and a jacket!!! [Me, the Bleu and also the Herd were fine and needed no alteration to our fur coats. Just sayin.]

Day 900: 900 Fings I Love About Chapter Two!

Happy 900f Day to the Me and My The Mom!!!

To celebrate this Special Occasion, I made a list. 

[You know how I love a list!]

900 Fings I Love About Chapter Two:

Day 1 frew Day 900!

Just sayin.

I'm feelin a little droopy today, so me and the Mom have been curled up under my binky. It's chilly willy in this house, but not chilly enough for a Sweet Boy to be stay snuggled up like that for long! I hated to do it to her... but I could no longer be her heater! [Besides, it's 61 degrees in here, and the silly ole gal had the ceilin fan spinnin!]

I know you're wonderin... And yes, we DID take a lot of pitchers outside today. And you know they're BAD if I won't even consider imposin them on you! OK, OK... there was one that's not SO bad, so I leave you wif it...

I call it "The Fresh Hold".
And I'm fankful for it!!!

900 Days is a long time... but not nearly long enough!
I would like about a million more!!! 

Just sayin!

Day 899: Snores, Chores and More

Snores.

Last night...

Zzzzin the little bed...

The Bleu zzzzin the big bed...

Big Boy stretched out...

Me, coolin off on the floors...

The Bleu... still piggin the big bed relaxed!

REALLY relaxed!!!

Chores and Snores
Today...Layin low! 

Beautiful, chilly, sunny day!

Enjoyin the clean sheets!

The Bleu enjoyin his chores...

Someone is cookin out of doors.
Just sayin.

I wish our chores included foods and tasty aromas!

So nice outside...

So nice inside...!

The more there is to do inside...

The more I want to be outside!

And then back inside...!

But now it's time to settle in for the evenin...
And I turn to my lammy.

Lammy reminds me of my Daisy... and I'm not referrin to my almost sister Daisy, but my Girl Friend, Daisy! 

Sweet Girl has a fing for the lammies, and each time I settle in wif one, I fink... I would gladly give up the lammy stuffy for the Daisy!

I would, for sure. Just sayin.

Chores aside, I'm excited and lookin forward to the Holidays! Christmas is less than free weeks away!!! Me and the Bleu are tryin to decide what to give the Mom. Bleu finks she would like a nice stick, but I say no... it should be some fing tasty to eat. We are open to suggestions, so please to share them!

Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays!
