Day 746: Work & Play!

My the Mom worked this Ha-liday Monday on Big Project for Big Client... Time is more important than Budget on these projects...

But troof-fully, wif the deadlines as they are... there is only so much time what can be worked! Just sayin! At any rate, Client is wonderful. And the Mom is grateful for the work... old, tired AND grateful!

Enough of the blah blah blah stuff, let me tell you about last night! 

The Mom met the Aunt Dav and Uncle Benjy for dinner, and in so doin... the Mom bring home a giant bag of toys what the Cousin Lovey want (1) me and the Bleu to go frew to pick out a few we like, and (2) to give to the GRRH Rescues who are SO in need and want and also so very deservin! My the Mom fink we look at em tomorrow, but the Aunt Dav call and say 'why have you not done it???'. 

Well... I was asweep in the bunker, and the Bleu was dozin at the end of the big bed. The Mom opened up the huge bag wif the Aunt Dav on the phone... and she paw frew and find cute whale she fink the Bleu will love... and she give it to him. Now, he is drowsy, but he take it and swowy and begin to squeak it. Hearin it, I rouse from the bunker and come out to shnoof source of the sounds... but then I insist I need go outside.

I go out, followed by the Bleu. I make quick work of my business and race back inside... straight to the cute whale... JONAH, snatch it up and hop up on the big bed! Mission Accomplished!

For those who think I didn't beg to go outside with a purpose in mind... Heh heh heh... You are as naive as the Mom and the Bleu. I do this all the time, and boaf em fall for it!!! Ever single time!!! Just sayin.

Never mind all that... BIG FANKS TO THE LOVEY!!! This is very tasty whale, and I love him very much!!!

And please... don't feel so bad for the Bleu! By the time he decide to come back inside, he had a multitude of choices to play wif... and he pick GOLDY the gold fish what make the whoopwhoopwhooopwhoopwhoop sounds like the bubbles! And he play wif it until he decide he had rather use it as a pillow...

GOLDY is tiny pillow... but a pillow, still.

And there's no denyin my happiness... I have hopped on the clean sheets, and I have a JONAH, courtesy of my Aunt Dav and Cousin Lovey!!!

The Mom pulled out a few more toys what she fink me and the Bleu might like... and then she put the great huge bag back up outta our reach. Check em out... and this is just a tiny shmorgasboard of what I might pick from tomorrow!

And when we wake up this mornin, we did so the sounds of... whoopwhoopwhooopwhoopwhoop!

And as for me... when I hopped on the big bed early this mornin, I brought the Navy Fighter Plane on board!!!

Day 554: Christmas Night, Part Two

My the Mom has been gone for a longer than while I am happy wif today but in end... it is small price to pay for what great gift she come back wif! And it is from the Cousin Lovey!

I don't know why the Bleu intimated by it... I all up in it! And it is gooooood!!!

Day 457: Fun Birfday Stuffs

So one week ago today on what was few days before the Mom's humongous birfday... she left outta here to go meet my (and ok, the Bleu's) very special Aunt Dav. I was none to happy bout her leavin, but just look what she brought back!

And I say that to say this... she all ways know how to make the Mom feel good and happy! Mine and the Mom's and also the Bleu's fanks to the Aunt Dav... your gift could notta been any more perfect!

Lovey real pretty girl and she got her a new tree this year and this is a picture of her underneaf it.
She lucky and loved girl what eat foods I only dream of and she got golf cart what she ride in and other neat stuff...

She lucky too she have her Mom the Aunt Dav who is not just good but most excellent photographer who capture her moment in the snow unlike the Mom's photograph of the Luke on the porch in the dark!
And one day soon Lovey might also have golden retriever pet what she call the Luke who live in the Uncle Benjy's barn (along wif the Mom and the Bleu, of course)! Just sayin. Could happen!

I feel real bad now for takin the Henry... Hope Lovey have Merry Christmas, anyway!

Day 121: Doldrums To Celebration!

Doldrums: (noun) meaning where me and the Mom were all day...

But then she went and had dinners with Aunt Dav and Uncle Benjy... and not only were there evidently rooster tails involved but Aunt Dav made her a happy book that is most special on a counta it's about me!
This here page says Lucky Luke on a counta I am!

The Mom don't like thinkin of me here only cause Comet isn't. And I don't either cause I like her smells and her toys and I wish she was here to lay her head on the Mom's early in the morning when I'm just happy to wake up inside and don't want to be bothered. And she could be the one to jump on the bed just any time the Mom is lonely and I am so not in the mood.

All that said, I'm grateful we found and rescued each other! And cheers to "our" second life together!

Day 113: Get Well Wishes!

I received my very first ever greeting card today with get well wishes from Aunt Dav, Uncle Benjy and my Cousin Lovey!

I hate that I need the wishes, but I'm grateful for the warmth, love and support of my new family!

Pretty precious card... and ticularly fittin my whether watchin and all we been through lately!

Day 94: Cool Air Brought By Peoples Who Care!

Well, well... gotta start me a list of the very best most awsomest things that have come from Ike. And at the top of the list is I finally got to meet my Aunt Dav and Uncle Benjy in the flesh.

There's no one closer to the Mom in the world, and I wouldn't be here today maybe if Aunt Dav hadn't prounounced "Luke's the one"!

Uncle Benj came on a mission... and he was determined to install cool airs in the window. And from time to time, I distracted the women folk sow he and Uncle Jason could wrestle the thing into position.

Aunt Dav fed me a bunch of cheese crackers and talked to me a lot. And I like Uncle Benjy's quiet confidence. He made me and the Mom feel better, and that takes a load off my bowl.

Wish the two of them coulda stayed forever...!

Day 94: Flurry of Activity

Mom's back and there's a flurry of tivity. Uncles James and Jason are bustlin bout. And aunt Dav and Benjy are on their way over.

Guess she had to all in the BIG GUNS!

Day 80: Golden Retriever Guard Dog

The mom left late this afternoon to break tortillas with Aunt Dav and Uncle Benjy... Guess the golden retrievers commune at Escalante's too, cause I didn't get to go.

And ever since she got home, she's been frettin over some fellow by name of Ike. Seems he might come a callin, and he's not welcome round here. Don't know much more than that, but I'll keep my guard up...

Day Three: Mom Left and Came Back Again!

Mother hurriedly printed photos from our shoot, gussied up and broke the news that she was going to leave for a short while... a 'lupper' of sorts with Aunt Dav and Uncle Benjy... more fine kin I'm happy to know I have!

These are good peoples who look after Mom. I'm to understand that they go way back.

Uncle Benjy was the first to tell her she needed a new love (puppy or dog, I think he said). And I hear tail that Aunt Dav played no small part in my visit here, as she proclaimed "He's the one!"

At any rate, I took a short nap and next thing I know, Mom is coming back through the door... and she's pretty happy. Said something about having fresh guacamole and a rooster tail or two. I don't know nothing about rooster tails, but I hope there's plenty more where those came from... because she's in a FINE mood!

And then the real fun began. Shortly after she landed, I was hitched to my leash... and I finally got the chance to see Aunt Susan again, and to meet Uncle Mike! This guy is 'Luke' style all the way. He plopped down in the front yard... and we leaned into one another, Mike with his arm around me. There was a lot of talk going on, but the sound I heard was one of security.

I like it here. And I think I might want to stay put for a little while longer. I'm a bit conflicted... because I miss Aunt Melinda's. Here, though, I'm a solo act... a Headliner! And the attention feels kinda good... for now!
