Mama and Papa Throw A Party

My Mama and Papa have a lot of friends, so they decided to have a party before we move. Mama did not take any pictures, but she says that's because she was too busy hostessing and enjoying herself. OK, Mama, whatever. Pics or it didn't happen. [Note from Mama: It totally happened.]

We are very lucky in our building to have a community room downstairs in the basement. That means the people come to the room and not to our house. I like having people in the house, but this way Mama doesn't have to clean and I don't have to stay in my crate if things get crazy. So Papa went out and got disposable table cloths, and they got napkins and plastic forks and stuff and they took everything they needed downstairs. Mama said it was quite a spread. I don't know what that means, but Papa said it means there was lots and lots of food. Mama made dips! Mama loves dips. She made mushroom chopped liver and her famous guacamole, then she made potato salad with carrots and a corn salad with tomatoes. Mama also made food from North Carolina! She made pimento cheese, which is her new favorite thing, and lemon pie. Mama's friend Mr. Malcolm dropped off a carrot cake, and Mama got cupcakes from a famous place in Harlem. Papa made lots and lots of drinks, including something called punch, which took him a long time to put together but everyone thinks is delicious. I am not allowed to drink punch. This is not fair.

During the party, people came up and visited me! It was so fun! I met some ladies who also have Badass doggies-- Miss Danielle and Miss Janine. I saw Miss Kimberly, who used to live across the hall with Brooklyn, who Mama loves but is mean to most doggies. I went over to Uncle Roland's to hang out while he went downstairs, and he and Mama came up to visit with Miss Megan's puppy, Harry. Harry is 2 3/4 years old, and he is blond, and I don't know where his fur is but he is very cute. He pet me nicely while I stole Jackie's bone. He is a nice puppy. I like human puppies.

Mama came up with Aunt Mariann, and we went for a walk. Aunt Mariann is pretty and I like her. Then I came home and slept, and then it was all over. Mama's and Papa's friends came over to help them clean up, then they left, then Mama was TIRED. So was I! It was a very busy night. Mama was a little sad, because she will miss her friends, but she said it was nice to have such a good party to say goodbye.

This morning, I thought we would all sleep in, but noooo. Mama was up at 6:15am. She hated it. We brought cupcakes to Arnold at the front desk and went for our walk. Mama didn't want to go to the big park, so we both came home and napped. I am so beat! I didn't even go out again until almost FOUR.

I am looking forward to the next party! I like the excitement and the people, but most of all, I like it when Mama gets careless and spills food on the floor. Shhh. Don't tell her.
