Weekend Retreat at Jackie's

This weekend, JK and Mr. Wolf went away for two days and one night because they were celebrating being married for one year. They had not left me for that long before, so I was a little anxious at first, but I got over it. Because I got to stay with JACKIE!

YAY! My other favorite person!!

Jackie came to pick me up from our house, and brought all of my favorite things over to her new house with us. She brought my blanket, my food and water dishes, and Lamb. 

She was very busy at her new house, since she had just brought all of her things there from her old apartment. So I was busy too, inspecting all the rooms and floors and smells and neighbors. I liked her old house, and I knew how to get there easily, but I like this new place too. It is much bigger than our house. I like Jackie, and we had a good time.

JK forgot to leave the camera with Jackie, so we didn't get any pictures of our weekend together. Oh well.

I liked staying at Jackie's house, but I was very happy to see my family again.  To show them that I missed them, I have been sitting right on top of them so they cannot get up.

You're not going anywhere.

I'll just be right here if you need me.

The Aug Monster

JK and I are playing our silly monster game on the couch with Mr. Wolf.

GRRRR and GRRROOWWWLL! I am the AUG MONSTER! And I will jump out of my couch nest to pretend to scare you with my silly dragon face and pretend to bite you with my pretend angry teeth!

JK and I like to pretend that we are growly monsters sometimes. She pretends to sneak up on me, even though I can see her coming, and then she wiggles her finger near my mouth and I pretend to chomp on it (but I don't really bite down - I just snap at it and wag my tail). She makes a growling sound, and so do I, and sometimes I make funny faces and JK laughs. I like this game.

She knows I'm playing, though, because I always give her kisses after she pretends to sneak up on me.

Burrow Burrow

Oh, I love to hear that loud BEEP from the big white machines in the closet. That BEEP means that warm clean clothes are coming out, and put on the couch for JK to fold nicely and put away.

Dig!

But before they go back into the closet and drawers, I will make a small nest.

Personal Assistant Job

In addition to typing the words for my blog, JK also writes a couple of other blogs. Sometimes she has lots of ideas to write about, but doesn't feel like she has time to type out the words on the computer. This is why she asked me to sit with her and make sure she does her work. She calls me her personal assistant.

I sit next to the computer to remind JK to get to work.

I also keep the couch cushions warm for her when she gets up.

When she does sit down to write, I sit on her lap. JK likes me to sit with her like this, so she will do her work and not get up and do something else. I get a lap and JK gets her work done. Win-Win.

Dismembering Lamb

At long last, success!

Mr. Wolf pretended to take lamb away from me, and I pulled hard to get it back.  I am very strong, and pulled very hard, and this time, finally, I pulled the leg right off of Lamb.

The Leg!  Success!

Do not feel sorry for the Lamb. He was always taunting me.

I like chewing on Lamb's leg even more than I like chewing on Lamb.

It was almost the best night of my life.

My friend Jackie came over to visit JK and me the other night, and JK had a present for her - a box of cheese! I don't know why JK had cheese for Jackie, but I got very excited when she took it out of the refrigerator. Jackie even let me have a few pieces!

JK put the box of cheese next to Jackie's bag, and then she and Jackie went into the bedroom to look at themselves in different clothes, and I knew it was my chance.

I took that box of cheese quickly over to my green blanket and started to pry it open with my teeth. I need to work on my sneakiness, because JK and Jackie heard me and came out of the bedroom to see what I was doing.

No problem, I just took the box into my house.

I almost had it!



JK usually does not come into my house, or take anything away from me if it is in my house, so I thought I was in the clear. No deal. JK reached in and took the cheese box from me. I was very disappointed.

What? No Cheese?

I guess it wasn't very good manners to try to steal Jackie's cheese away. I know how sad I am when someone takes cheese away from me. Jackie and JK gave me some snuggling and treats to make up for taking the box of cheese away, so I got over it.

But be warned: If you leave cheese where I can get it, I will. I am learning more about your tight plastic boxes. And next time, I vow success.

Boo.

I had the Bad Shakes again this weekend. I was feeling kind of funny on Saturday, and even had some trouble jumping up on the couch and walking up the stairs, so I could tell that the Bad Shakes were maybe coming on.

Mr. Wolf was here with me when I had the seizure, so I was not too scared. He talked to me and sat with me to help me feel better. These Bad Shakes were pretty small, and they went away quickly.

After I walked around for a while to make sure I was feeling back to normal, I fell asleep on the couch.

I was so sleepy, I didn't even know that JK was taking my picture.

It was good to wake up and feel like myself again.
