Time at Home

I have not written in a while and I am sorry! It's mostly because we have not had that much excitement since the Badass doggies left. That was so fun.

The biggest excitement we have had is Mama's new job! She hasn't started yet-- she says that will be in a few weeks-- but she is very happy. I am happy too, because Mama said I can go to work with her sometimes. She said there is a giant sunny spot in front of a window where I can lie down and watch people go by. That is very cool. But Mama won't be working from home anymore, and that makes me sad. I am enjoying these last few days with Mama at home. I am spending lots of time in the office. Mama says that after her job starts, I will have the office all to myself. That's ok, I guess. Here I am working on my toys while Mama works on her laptop.

Mama says the holidays are coming up too, and that means presents! And because Mama has a new job, she needed a very special present, so Papa bought her a special bag. When Mama and Papa came to visit Raleigh in May, she went to a shop called Stitch and met Miss Holly and liked her bags a lot. Mama wanted one of those very badly, and now that she has a new job, she can get one! She said Miss Holly is making it for her in special colors and it will be ready soon. I am not allowed to chew on it. Mama says it is very important to shop at local stores and buy things from your neighbors. I wonder if Miss Barnes the pointer puppy across the street has things for me to buy, but somehow I don't think that's what Mama means.

The weather has been very up-and-down. It was warm a couple of weeks ago, so I took advantage of it.

But then it got very cold! It has been too cold to sit outside. Mama and Papa turn on the electric fire and take out the blankies and it gets very cozy in here. Here I am chewing on my leg in front of the fire.

Yesterday it was very rainy, but it was warm. We snuggled on the sofa as a family. I like that. I stayed on my blankies and didn't move, then I decided to put my face on Mama's sweatpants. They are warm and soft, like my mama.

Today is warm again. I went to daycare today. I like daycare, but I don't like it when Mama leaves. I yell and yell for her! But Mr. Mike and Mr. Josh take me back to the play area and I see my buds and it's so much fun. Then Mama and Papa come to pick me up and I cry because I don't want to leave. Mama says I am conflicted and silly.

Thanksgiving is coming up! We are going to visit Grandpa. Mama says I will get to meet my Aunt Bonnie and that is very exciting! She is Papa's sister. She likes to make pie. Mama also says I will get to eat turkey. I am looking forward to it, but I am also resting up because I know I have to be on alert for all the cats. I cannot rest if cats are near my family!
