Hey, I'm Back

It's me, Ladybug. Mom has been so busy she didn't even have time for me to stop and visit. She has been sewing up a storm of doll clothes for the grand daughters and now she is making blanket sleepers for almost all the grandkids. I don't get to see her as much since it got cold. Mom stays in town at the town house. Dad and I are on stove duty at the acreage. They bought a corn stove to keep the house warm and it needs to be fed. Too bad they don't trust me to do it, but that's the way it goes. I have all my toys piled in front of the stove to keep them warm. I like laying in front of it too. Mom's son is done with school in January and will be moving someplace else. When he is moved, mom will be able to spend time with me at the acreage. She will be sewing out here and keeping me out of trouble. I might even get a brother or sister then. I can hardly wait. We had some snow but now it's gone. The weather isn't like it should be at this time of year. Warm temperatures and rain instead of snow. That's fine except I like to tunnel through the snow with my nose. Hope all you beagleys are behaving for the holiday season. I am trying. I pawstively want to get some pawsents this year. I don't roll in doggie pawfume any more, that is a big temptation. I don't drag the cats around any more. There is notin I get into. I am being a good girl. Well, time to see if the toys need turning. Don't want them to get tooo warm on one side and not the other. Happy holidays to all. Ladybug
