Getting Ready for Christmas, and Taste Testing

Greetings AugBlog readers!

Sitting on the warm blanket

The weather has been very cold, and JK brought out this special blanket from inside the big blue square box in the living room.  I didn't even know that the top of that big blue box opened up!  But it does!  And there are warm blankets inside.  I really like this blanket.  It is warm and very big, and good to sit on.  JK told me that her mother made it for her, and that it is very special and I should be careful.  I will be very careful with it, because I could tell she was serious.

JK let me eat two new foods tonight to review for the blog! 

New Food #1 - Potato Dumplings
Rating:  4 out of 5 Cheesy Treats - I would be very happy to eat these every day.
Highlights:  Warm, soft, very tasty
Problems:  Not cheesy enough

New Food #2 - Small bite of dried fig
Rating:  2 out of 5 Cheesy Treats
Highlights:  Sweet, chewy like my favorite cranberry bones (you can see me trying to chew the fig in this picture)
Problems:  Too chewy.  The fig stuck to my teeth and had lots of small seeds in it.

I also tried a third new food tonight, but I was not supposed to eat it. 

JK played some funny music tonight and sat on the floor to tape bright colored paper around some boxes.  She was singing and taping, and she didn't see me stick my head into the bag and take out something that smelled very much like sweet food to me. 

The thing that smelled like food was very tough and chewy, but I made it into the thing and got to eat some of the sweet food before JK heard me and came to see what I was doing.

She was very unhappy that I had eaten some of the sweet food.  She said that it was chocolate, and it could make me sick if I ate too much of it!  I wasn't really scared of getting sick, because she found me before I could eat much.  But I did feel sad when she said that that chocolate food was supposed to be a gift for Mr. Wolf.  I hope she can get some more for him.  I promise I won't eat it.
