Wowzers, tehre's a lot happening at my house this past week.
It all stareted last weekedn when Daddy noticed that some of the tiles in the kitchen felt warm. Well, of course on those cold mornings, it feels good on my four feet, but we knew something was wrong.
Long story short, our house has a slab leak and so an army of strangers came in with all their tools, and wrenches, and saws, and other nasty devices and tore up our kitchen and dining room.
Some of the furniture has been moved to funny spots that make no sense to me. My dinner bowl and water are in a different spot after 5 years, so I'm a bit confused at feeding time.
Today they have sealed off the kitchen once again with plastic sheets and have been working to fix all the walls they broke into just a few days earlier. What a mess!!
And so I don't get into anybodies way, I've been relgated to the backyard for the day....which is nice, but I wanna come in when I want to. I'm not used to being forced to stay out all day.
It's my understanding that these silly men will all be here again tomorrow as well to do something called 'texturing' to the walls. Hopefully it will all be back to normal in a few more days.
Just when daddy thinks I may be hitting middle age, I surprise him with a unbridled burst of energy and acting super silly.
I got up with mommy this morning at 5:45am, had my breakfast, and watched her drink coffee...just waiting for daddy to get up. Finally he rousted up at about 7am and came down to have his own coffee and breakfast before getting ready for work.
After I allowed him to shake a few cobwebs out of his noggin, I grabbed one of my favorite stuffed toys and began nudging daddy at around 7:30. He's such a sucker...within seconds, I had daddy on all fours playing tug-of-war and keep-away with me.
Of course this gave me the zoomies....and I ran back and forth, and back and forth, and back and forth for a good solid 10 minutes. We played and played, but I knew his time was short as he had to get ready for work.
But I had to remind daddy that albeit I'm six years old, I can still run and play like I'm 6 months old!
I'm looking forward to him coming home tonight....we are going to try and take family Xmas pictures. Yippee...that means I get a treat if I'm good....Oh, who are we kidding...I'll get a treat anyways.
This past weekend I had a nice treat, but was still eager to come home.
Mommy and daddy went to celebrate their 8th wedding anniversary out of town, so I got to spend the Friday afternoon through Sunday afternoon with my grandparents.
Oh boy, I got plenty of belly rubs and nap time with grammie on the couch. She also gave me sweet potato chip (sshhh...they give me gas).
Grandpa took me on plenty of long walks and played ball with me in their backyard.
But after two days, I was kinda missing my parents and was looking forward to coming home. As much fun as it was, and all the attention and love I got, I still like to feel secure at 'my' home and was excited to see my parents when they got home late Sunday afternoon.
