Sorry about Friday. As you may have noticed, I didn't get a chance to blog. In fact, I didn't get a chance to do much of anything on Friday. Last week mothers car got angry, spit out some metal parts and blew smoke all over the place. Mother is not one to have patience for tantrums and that was the last we saw of that car. Friday she went to get another one; this one's nice with a big space in the back for me and Bea to look out the windows. Bea and I didn't get to go with mother to get the car so we were stuck at home in the cozy cave. Unfortunately, that didn't leave me with much to blog about other than how loud Bea snors – which is actually really loud.

Today was a different story. Mother and Sweet Sally were busy, busy, busy. This was partly because one of the new girls mother hired to help out didn't show up. “Thank goodness for Pam” helped out for awhile, but otherwise Sweet Sally and Dancing Debbie had to handle everything. I tried to pitch in and greet everyone, but no one seems to give me any credit for my work.

Luckily, nobody was too sick. Our only guest was a toothless old man Yorkie dog named Guy. He stayed for the day so that mother could take a few samples of his red syrup. Guy is another dog mother thinks has the Cushing's disease. We've had so many recently I wonder if it's contagious, like the Parvo.

Mostly the pets that came in were for happy visits, but mixed in with those they also saw a Chihuahua with itchy skin, a golden retriever with gooey ears (that smelled super delicious) and a cat whose neck was so raw it looked like a piece of ham. I do know what ham tastes like and one look at that cat's neck made my mouth water!

The highlight of my day came during the midday break. This is usually the time that Bea and I get to stretch our legs and get our snack. We had some of my friends visit, Kaylee and Ruben, who came “dressed for the season” as mother would say. I've noticed that ever since the day of turkey smells that the walls, and the doors and the houses have all been done up in red and green and white. Ruben and Kaylee looked “so adorable” according to Patient Pam. We enjoyed our own version of a Christmas party, if by party you mean dancing around, rolling on the floor and playing with your friends while dressed up in silly outfits. Yep, it was a real party alright!
