Santa Came!

Santa did find us!  He brought us toys. 

We got another hedge hog, but this one squawks and squeaks.  We got a fox without stuffing.  I already tore it, but Mama said she can fix it.  Two ducks that squawk and a duck with long legs and arms.  Daddy said it's not a realistic duck.  In case you are wondering, my eye is not red.  It's just the flash.  Mama didn't feel like helping me edit the photos.

We played and played until we were exhausted.  Here is a short video.  It's not very exciting, but Mama said I look cute at the end when I smile at the camera.
Joey's First Christmas

We received bully sticks and other treats last week, so we really received a lot of things for my first Christmas with my forever family.  It's been so much fun and Daddy is home for a while, so I'm very happy!

We even have a Charlie Brown Christmas tree now.  Santa will surely be able to find us now!

Yippie!

I'm so excited!  Today is an exciting day.  Daddy is coming home tonight.  Guess what?  Daddy was telling a guy at work about the blanket that Mama got for Christmas and he wanted to see it.  Daddy opened up the blog and he saw the picture of me in that silly hat.  He called Mama and told her that he would not walk me if I was wearing it.  Mama told him she wanted to try and make some and he asked her why did she want to torture us?  So, it looks like I won't have to wear my hat very often.  Yes!!!! 

In case you missed it, this is the hat that is upsetting me.

It's Been A Rough Week

We've had a rough week here.  Daddy is out of town and we really miss him.  It rained for two days.  Today, it's very windy.  This morning we heard gun shots.  That is not common for here.  Mama said maybe someone is shooting the bunnies.  I hope not!  She was nervous with the gun shots, so we had to come in from the backyard.  We think someone is target shooting.  Then, the worst thing is that silly hat that she bought me.  Do you know what she said?  She said "You know, this looks like it would be pretty easy to make.  I think I will see if I can make one."  Yikes!  I have seen the coats she has made and they are not good.  The hat is embarrassing enough without it being made by Mama.  She wants to sew, but she is not very good at it.  This really could be a very long winter.

Seriously, Mother?!

Yes, I am calling you Mother today.  You ruined my day and maybe my winter.  I've been happier than ever the past few days and you do this to me? 

Cold ears won't kill me.  I'm not wearing this thing.  No, I am not cute in it.   I look goofy! I don't care if it will look good with my coat.  I don't like that thing either.

I tried to give it so Scout, but she doesn't want it either.

I bet Daddy will be on my side.  He's not going to want to walk me if I'm wearing this.  What? Daddy is out of town this week.  :::sigh:::

The Greyhound Who Is Having A Tantrum Today

T'was The Week Before Christmas

It's a week a before Christmas, but we got bully sticks on Friday!

Look at the size of this thing!  It's 18".  I think there were other things in the box, but Mama hid those from us.  I think they are for Christmas.

Yesterday, Mama and Daddy went out to dinner and then to Petsmart.  Mama said they were having a really good sale on toys.  I think I saw some toys in the bags that Mama rushed past us.  I'm not sure why she is buying things when Santa is coming.  Daddy even fixed the door so that it's easier for Santa to come in the house.

Today, we went to the park.  I had not been to this one before.  We walked on the road and then a trail and then in a field and then back to the road. 

There were not many people out today even though it was 55 degrees.  Scout tired out long before I did.  It was fun!

Dear Santa - Part 2

Dear Santa,

It's me, Scout, again.  I'm sorry to bother you, but I just thought of some things that you need to know when visiting our house. 

1) Our screen door is broke.  On Wednesday, Mama didn't have it latched and the wind opened it and banged it against the house.  It is now very hard to open and close it.  Actually, opening it isn't that hard, but when you come into the house, please be sure to pull it closed. It takes a little muscle. When you leave the house, you may need to use your foot to get it to close. Mama has found that is the best way.   Daddy may fix it this weekend and if he does, then you don't have to worry about it.  However, if he doesn't fix it this weekend, it won't be fixed before Christmas because he's going to be out of town next week.

2) Joey sleeps in the living room.  I don't want you to be scared when you come in and see him laying there.  He won't hurt you.  It takes him a little while to wake up.  If he does wake up, the worst he will do is play with your fur and maybe try and squeak you.  He did that to Mama the other day.  If you see him looking like this with his tongue hanging out, he's okay.  That's his normal look. He's been known to walk around with his tongue sticking out.  It's very embarrassing. 

 

We have plenty of parking on our front lawn for the sleigh or if you prefer, you can park in the driveway.

Okay, I think that's all I need to tell you.  I hope you find us Santa.  It's Joey's first Christmas and he is very excited!  

Have a safe flight Santa!

Hugs,
Scout
