Hi, everyone.
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Rosie and Cruzer were here
to celebrate with us.
Of course,
Mom forgot to take any pictures.
We had a great time
except when Rosie
was trying to be
the boss of me!
As you know,
I wear many hats
while I fulfill my apprenticeship
here at the Cottage...
(that's me above, well,
actually that's more of a scarf!)
Maybe that is why Rosie thought she needed to be the boss of me!
Anyway,
besides my watching abilities...
...I am in charge
of making sure
each brush stroke is
performed to perfection...
...making sure Dad
doesn't fall off the ladder...
...an occasional dish washing...
...learning the ins and outs
of setting up
a Christmas tree...
...watching that Dad
walks those other dogs
just right.
And,
here I am,
seeing that Dad watches
his daily fluid intake.
Today,
I am at the office car
writing this week's post
as a stand-in for Mom
while she is busy
decorating the Cottage for Christmas.
She said
I could give you a sneak peek
of what is happening
around here:
Now...
lets get down to business.
The other day
we had a little snow fall
and the folks were excited
to introduce me to
the white stuff...
...they thought
I had probably never seen snow
and,
between you and me,
I hope
I never see it again!
The minute I stepped foot
out the door,
I knew it wasn't for me.
I tried as hard as I could
to shake it off of me!
I did try to give it a chance
and thought it might smell good -
but no way...
I even tried to walk
without having my feet
touch the ground.
No amount of pleading
on the part of my people
could entice me...
I was miserable...
I wanted no part of it.
I only wanted back
into my warm house.
I pleaded and
I begged
for the door to open...
...I even promised
big kisses
if I could just
go inside.
I thought that might work!
Finally,
I was back
where I was meant
to be...
Baby,
it's cold outside!
...Kai...

Yay,
Christmas is coming!!
Love it !
ReplyDeleteKai, you are such a cutie. You are a real trooper for putting up with all that snow nonsense. Bruce and Jack wanted me to tell you that "dogs like us prefer a fluffy bed by the fireplace". I know you'll agree with them. I do! Be careful watching mom and dad decorate...it can be quite dangerous. Maybe you can convince them to sit by the fire with you! xoxo, T.
ReplyDeleteHi Miss Tina. Thank you for your kind words. Tell Bruce and Jack that they are my idols. They are so big and strong and my only claim to fame are my "ballerina feet". I can't believe that they don't like that white stuff either, now I don't feel like such a sissy..Wags, Kai
DeleteOh, Kai, you're so cute! You and I have something in common! I don't like snow either. The only thing is, you don't have to put up with it very often where you live. Here where I live, well, let's just say, they don't tease us about getting dressed up like Eskimos for nothin'. You're a real cutie and tell your mom that I appreciate your participating in my party today.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Sandi
So sorry Kai....I was laughing . You were cracking me up. Judy, I enjoyed this post...pets are so funny to me. You may have a hard time getting that pet back outside in any snow. Blessings to you, xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteYou tell your peeps that you want a trip to Florida for the winter (for a Christmas present). Santa rides a fire engine and throws candy and dog treats down there! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteKai, I bet your are going to learn to love the snow. Give it another try! You are such a cutie. Good thing they have you around to help with the Christmas decorating. Tell your mom I said hello :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie~Kai :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a good thing he's such a good helper around the house, and pulls his own weight.
Looks like he wouldn't enjoy being an outside dog **smile**!
Happy Christmas decorating !

What a lovely guest poster here today, Judy! So cute...thanks for sharing, Kai! Ps- I'm not a big fan of snow either! ;)
ReplyDeleteI must say Kai - you did an exceptionally good job of filling in - and of doing all your duties. I'm with you - I don't want to be out in the snow.
ReplyDeleteYour Kai is soooo adorable Judy@! What a writing talent he has to boot! He may have to start his own blog...haha.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a wonderful week!
XO Barbara
Kai, you are a great fill in for your momma (sshhhhh, don't tell her I said that) but you can tell her that she's doing a great job decorating the cottage!! Sorry you didn't enjoy the white stuff, maybe next time will be better! Enjoy your week sweet one! Blessings, Cindy xoxo
ReplyDeleteKai, you are adorable. Thank you for sharing what is going on at the cottage this week. Say Hi to your mommy for me. Be good ok? Hugs. Pam
ReplyDeleteKai, you sure are a wonderful dog and I am so glad that you have such great parents. It's so good of you to keep an eye on Mom and Dad.
ReplyDeleteLoved your blog and tell Mom we want to hear more about your adventures.
Waldo and Lili liked your blog also.
Waldo and Lil's mom
Kai you take your job seriously and are sure doing a great job! Tell your mommy we cant wait to see the pretty decorating and to give you a nice doggie bone for being a good helper
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post, Kai. You had a lot of responsibility, and I can see that you are up to the task. Gotta keep those people in line! Looking forward to seeing the cottage decked out for Christmas. Thanks for the sneak peek. Oh, and Sadie and I are right there with you about that white fluffy stuff. Life is so much nicer without it. '-)
ReplyDeletePoor Kai... All that responsibility and then to be outside in the cold white stuff. LOL.
ReplyDeleteKai did a good job of supervising.
