DOGGIE SHENANIGANS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT

Yesterday morning Kerry dropped off Emmy.  She really is the sweetest dog.  She is a sheltie I think. She looks like a little collie dog.  She was a little restless at first but soon settled in.  Molly was pretty excited to see her.  

Emma made it clear pretty quickly that she wanted to be in purple room with Molly and me.  So I moved her bed to beside my chair.  Sometime in the middle of the night I was up to the loo.  Its pretty dark in the room and I could see Emma running around.  So I ordered her back to her bed. She went over but didn't get in.  She lay down beside it.  After I settled I was puzzled why she wouldn't get into her bed.  I put my flashlight on and looked and frigging Molly was laying out in her bed like Queen Sheba.  So I yelled at her, loud cuz she is deaf, and ordered her out.  She wouldn't get out!!!  So I hollered some more until she finally climbed out.  Emma immediately jumped into her bed.  Then Molly tried to climb in with her.  Stupid dog!  I hollered some more and made her go to her bed and told her to stay!  She did.

Which reminds me of something that happened the night before.  Around two in the morning I was awakened by a huge loud banging coming from the kitchen.  Monte wasn't home...he was still on the road coming back from Kelowna.  So I jumped up and ran out to the kitchen to see it was Willy thumping his hind leg like crazy and he was tossing his dish around, and banged on the cage.  Jeez! I thought a grizzly had been in and scared the hell out of him.  I finally went over and put my hand on his back and just sat on the floor and waited for him to calm down.  The next morning I found out we had had a 3.4 earthquake right about then.  I slept through it but clearly Willy didn't!

One strand of lights on the tree has gone out.  There is a big black hole near the top.  Damn!!!  Have you ever tried to put lights on after the decorations are all on?  Its almost impossible.  I think I will wait and let April do it.  She has the magic touch (spelled....patience).   We are spending Xmas eve at Jo and Craig's place.  That way they can put Ainsley down to bed without having to go home.  We shall all be bringing food and a present for each other.  I can't wait!!!

Now, its seven days to ...finish all the shopping, wrap a thousand presents, clean the whole house...top to bottom, plan the food for a two week period, shop for it,  cook some things ahead, see the doctor, straighten out all the insurances, make sure monte gets to court on the 22 (ticket dispute).  Waaaaaaaah!!!!  My head hurts!!!!!TTYL
