I am back!

Hello friends,

Sorry I have not written in awhile. I was very busy when Grandma and Grandpa were visiting. I think I made a very good impression and they really do like me. They kept saying they haven't ever seen such lovely spots. I try to be modest most of the time, but I really do have great spots. They are perfectly spaced out all over my body...kind of like a prize winning cow. Anyways, we had a really fun time with Grandma and Grandpa and they were impressed that I can understand Chinese. I did miss sleeping in the big bed, but Mom and Dad told me that since Grandma and Grandpa don't visit often, we should let them sleep in the big bed and we could sleep on the futon. The futon was okay but there wasn't much room for me to stretch out. I survived though.

Mom has a cold. She started getting sick on Monday so I have been really busy taking care of her. She mostly just laid in bed or on the couch with lots of tissues and tea. I was like her personal body warmer. I think she was really proud of what a good son I am.

Today Mom and Dad went to the grocery store to stock up since our fridge is looking pretty bare these days. I was hoping, they would remember to get me my favorite greenies mint bones (they taste great plus they freshen my breath), but they didn't. They bought like 4 bags worth of groceries but they didn't remember any of the things I like. I think they felt kind of guilty though because they fried up a couple of slices of bacon just for me. Then Dad downloaded this Japanese movie about dogs and we all watched it together. I fell asleep because it was kind of boring, but I guess it was pretty mushy, because Mom was crying when the main dog died and then she was like hugging me afterwards. I think they will start appreciating me a little more so overall the movie was a success.

Mom just took me on my early evening walk. It is wet and snowy out. I really don't like getting my feet wet but I guess I don't have a choice. I try to walk underneath the awnings in the dry spots, but sometimes there aren't awnings so I have to get my toes wet. Once we get back inside mom dried me off though so that was good. There's nothing I hate more than smelling like a wet dog. I have doggy cologne in the "baby fresh" scent. When they spray it on me, I feel pretty good about myself. Grandma and Grandpa thought I smelled good too.

I have really enjoyed this vacation. Having Mom and Dad home from work to play with me for a whole week was really fun, plus it was good to meet my grandparents. Tomorrow Mom and Dad have to go back to work though and things will go back to normal. It will be good seeing E though and the rest of my buddies I walk with though. I guess I should go relax a little and enjoy the rest of what's left of my weekend. Mom and Dad are calling me so I gotta go!

Good night, folks!
