A laugh for the dog people.

I'm one of those parents that spoils their pooches just a tad. Tonight's spoiling involved letting them lick whipped cream (the kind from an aerosol can) off of my hand. The cat came over to investigate. My boy got so enthusiastically excited that he managed to fling a glob of whipped cream onto the cat's back (which the cat did not notice). My boy then proceeded to chase the cat around the kitchen trying to corner him & lick the whipped cream off. There was no intention of chasing the cat. I don't even think the boy registered that the whipped cream was attached to the cat. He was just trying his best to get that darned glob of whipped cream.

Needless to say, the cat was NOT happy about this nor did he cooperate and allow the dog to lick him clean.

So, in the midst of my laughter and tears, I too began to chase the cat while telling the dog NOT to chase the cat -- yes, the dog was slightly confused. I finally caught one extremely unhappy feline and managed to scrub him down with a damp rag so that the dog would leave him in peace. Lordy it was funny!!!

Just hear those sleighbells jingling...

The outside of my house is covered in lights, the tree is up, and carols are playing on my i-pod.  Dog is lying at my feet & Cat is sleeping in his absolute favorite spot - under the tree with the presents.  He got all sorts of excited when I got the tree box out & sat beside me while I put it together.  When I took a break, he followed me into the kitchen, "meow meow meow", wouldn't shut up until I went back & finished putting the tree up.  Despite trying to relax at the moment, I can't stop my brain from making an endless list of things to get done before my family arrives next week (we're doing Christmas early).  As much as I'm looking forward to their visit, getting the house in shape for company sucks.  A magic wand would be so nice right about now!  On second thought, cleaning the old fashioned way is probably better.  If I had a magic wand, I'd probably manage to screw it up ala Mickey in the Sorcerer's Apprentice.

Dear Santa, I've been a very good boy this year...
