My mom can't come to the blog right now. She's presently under the bedclothes, muttering something about dog pounds, laundry, and Flomax. I'm not sure what all of THAT could be about, but I'm pretty sure that the last little jibe is intended for me. Ahem.
Today is a full-on snow day here in Hoosierville North. I awoke at 4:30 am to hear the scrape-scraping of the nice men on the front porch, making it safe for fat old spinsters and humanity by getting rid of the drifts and such. I wish I could have reached the doorknob so that I could have told them not to waste their energy on a perfectly shoveled front pathway....nobody comes to visit and we don't use it for my constitutionals, so it's just a lot of work for nothing. But alas, I am only ten inches from pedicured paw to shoulder, so all I could do was bark at them through the side light instead.
(I wonder if that's what has the old lady in such a state?)
Anywhoose, I am going to spend a lovely day on my perch enjoying some peace and quiet. I've had breakfast, perused the paper, and written in my little journal, so it looks like all that needs to be done now is a good soaking pee on the footstool and then I can get some shut eye.
I hope that you and yours have a splendid weekend and that you spend it doing whatever it is you like to do. I have a feeling that ours will be spent in "time out" with a lot of upholstery cleaner nearby, but I could be wrong. Perhaps my Aunt Chrissy will take pity on me and take my stupid mo-ther out for a cheeseburger or two.
Stay warm and safe and dry, my dear friends. Until we meet again, I remain your loyal and devoted pal,
Stewey
Stewey - I'll bet "Friday the 13th" has her all in a state! Boogity Boogity! Don't worry all will be well once she has some Diet Coke, a little Sly time, and gets that needle in her hands;)
ReplyDeleteJust stay in your big girl sleigh bed since it is Friday the 13th after all! That is a safe place to be. It is even cold in AZ - Jackie my Jack Russel always has one back leg up in the area because her little paws get so cold looking for that right place to pee! Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteStewey looks properly contrite in his photo in your last post. I hope he is behaving better today. Your Christmas Alphabet looks great. Enjoy being snowed in with some good stitching and movies today.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jeanne... that pic of Stewey was precious!
ReplyDeleteStewey....you lucky dog....I spend most of my time out side or in the barn. When I get to come in it's kitchen only unless my mom is going to sew. Then it's on my blanket and not a paw off on the carpet. Do you think that your mom would like another dog. Tell her I don't pee.....just get hair everywhere......Scully
ReplyDeleteStewey! You are a big boy now and should totally be potty trained! No more of that peeing on the stool! You hear me??
ReplyDeleteNow Stewey, you REALLY must learn to behave and not pee everywhere or your mother is gong to start considering a nice CAT as your replacement! Methinks you might need to ask (nicely) for a little tray with a puppy pad...
ReplyDeleteConi-" google," belly band dog diapers! They are very easy to make and you will come up with some creative ideas for the disposible liners. These belly bands are used for male dogs at shows so they do not mark everyone and everything.
ReplyDeleteMaybe he would like his done in silk needlepoint?
Aw, Stewey, keep your chin up! At least you don't spend your days tortured by two cats! Oops - have to run 'cause I am using a borrowed computer!!
ReplyDeleteDear Stewey- Our mom uses that dog pound threat all the time. We would like to assure you it means NOTHING! And honestly, it's not like our moms have anything better to do than clean up after us. Maybe ours could take a little of that time wasted on the cats to fluff our bed now and again. Oh, wait, that would be her bed too! Hang in there, we appreciate how difficult it is when EVERY LITTLE THING YOU DO seems to be wrong. Your pals, Coal, Fern, Ilse, and Rocky.
ReplyDeleteStewey, Just be a good boy and keep Mother's supplies up to date.It may mean dog goodies hidden in the cupboard may come your way.But only if you are good and do not water the furniture.
ReplyDeleteI truly appreciate this post. I’ve been looking all over for this! Thank goodness I found it.
ReplyDeleteyou are both such gifted writers, Coni and yourself Stewey..such distinctive voices!!
ReplyDeleteFor just another day in paradise friday,your late,guess we'll never make our dinner date at the restuarant.
