Leaving Me Home is Unacceptable! - September 2011

Ok, so sometimes Norm and I don't see eye to eye. Well, in reality we never do since I'm vertically challenged, but we do disagree now and then. However, to be left home to watch and care for the dogs when he and Jules go to Malden for a long weekend is just plain unacceptable.



Left to right: Jo Jo, Rosie & Relli



Do you have any idea what that is like? Those dogs are bigger than me and not the brightest bulbs in the box.

They don't listen except when its time to eat.

I was trying to get them to go for a walk and all they did was lay there and snore.

Now this was a challenge! One of the dogs, Rosie, knows how to tell time. She KNOWS when its 8 o'clock. That is the time that she eats. If you don't pay attention to her she just keeps getting louder. I can't understand why anyone would teach a dog how to tell time. Its not like they will ever need to catch a bus or go to work.

Since the dogs all knew it was time to eat (I thought I was bad at keeping secrets, Rosie is worse!) they wouldn't let me fix their bowls on the floor. Reli kept spinning and Rosie kept stomping on the floor and trying to stomp on me. 

Jo Jo was the only good one. She just sat quietly waiting. I think she was just as afraid of getting stomped as me.

They kept trying to eat out of the containers and I was getting really frustrated. I had to climb onto the washer just to get it all ready. KC was kind enough to leave their name tags in the bowls so there wouldn't be any arguing among the dogs.

I should have known that these dogs were a bit spoiled what with individual picnic tables and all, but we got through it.

The weekend wasn't a complete loss though. The bright spot in the weekend was that I got to watch movies with KC. She watches some very strange movies.

Just before Norm & Jules came home KC and I made them some signs. KC is a big fan of signs. I wasn't real happy though when I saw that KC ratted on me about being bitter. I thought she had my back.

KC saw that I was even more bitter when I saw her sign. She said she didn't rat me out, she only was telling Norm & Jules that they hurt my feelings.



KC really did have my back, I just misunderstood. I guess I shouldn't squawk too loud and I should apologize to KC. I kind of did the same thing to KC in my note.

But we had fun and I did like some of the movies. I guess getting scared watching movies can be fun in small doses.

Maybe I'll share some more update pictures from Malden if they let me go with next time.


Until that time, stay safe, go camping and keep having fun!
