Pre-Turkey Day Weekend

WOW! What a weekend it has been already! And its only Sunday! First, Dad and baby sister Looney came home Friday, no warnin' or nuthin'. Well, I think Mom knew that mornin' but she didn't tell US! So, they came home, and we played and played- got SOO tired out, we all tried to take a nap. Um... guess we forgot- Luna doesn't DO naps! So we three mastiffs took naps, and Looney, she ran from one to the other, tryin' to get us to wake up and play! She really does live up to her name- she's a LUNATIC!

So Saturday, when we woke up, stretched, decided to go out and potty before comin' back in to feast on a hot breakfast, and guess what???? It SNOWED!!!! Snow everywhere! And our ramp, it works like sleddin' down hill! So we all practiced slidin' down the ramp- on our feet, on our butts, on our bellies, and Mom even learned how to slide right off the side and fall on the ground! She hurt her wrist, and we think she broke her finger (the one she was usin' to hold Murph's collar when she fell) so now she not typin' too fast, but we aren't gonna fire her just yet- it wasn't HER fault she hurt herself. (GRRRR. Murphy, you silly lug!)

Last year when it snowed, we didn't get to slide on the ramp, cuz Mom was too smart for us, and put a grooved rubber mat the whole length of it, so we had a good grip goin' up and down it. Well, it WAS on the ramp, until.... Last spring, Dear sister Frankie decided it wasn't any fun using a mat to walk on, so she chewed it up into little tiny pieces, and Mom couldn't find another to replace it with!

So anyway, we played out in the snow several times, and came back in and got warm and rested, so we could keep going back out (just about the time Mom sat back down and started to get comfy each time!) Then dinner time arrived, and Kim went to get us somethin' special- she got a pizza for her and Dad, and a meatball sub for Mom. Dad had pizza AND some of Mom's sandwich! Boy, I wish I could eat like he does and still stay skinny like him! Maybe its the food he is eatin' that keeps him skinny??? I will have to convince Mom to let me eat what Dad eats, as much and as often as he eats, and see if *I* can get skinny and stay that way! Mom says she can't eat 1/4 of what he eats, and SHE gains weight when HE eats! When they were done, we all got some tasty bits (after we had OUR dinner, of course- they don't think to order US pizzas!) I swear, once I learn how to use that phone, (and figure out where to get thumbs surgically added to my paws!) I'm orderin' the food from then on, and we *WILL* have pizza and subs for dinner!

By Saturday night, we were totally exhausted! Just when we were ready to call it a night, Dad and Luna had to get back in their truck and go back to work! They will be back Wednesday though, so we are restin' up for them this time!

Dad says soon he will start comin' home waaaay more often- he fired the bad dispatcher guy who wasn't findin' him enough work- the one who kept him sittin' in inconvenient places for so long between runs; and hired a new one (who makes the other truckers who work through her happy). More money, AND more time off to spend at home- what could be better???

Maybe NOW he will have time to get Mom's custom trike finished, she she can actually go ridin' with Mike & Linda & Dad & maybe Grampa too, next summer! Kim says she gonna get HER motorcycle license too, so she can go ridin' with them all! Dad already got her a bike, so what's she waitin' for? Know what happens when Mom & Dad get all their friends together to go ridin'? They all stop here more often, and WE get lots of pettin' and extra attention! They ALL love us!

So anyway, thats whats goin' on here with us. Whats new with YOU?
