Bailey and Katy came to us as rescues. We lost Bailey in June of 2016 and Katy in November of 2022. We were blessed to have Annie join us in August of 2016.

Some told from their perspective and others told from those that share this journey with them. Notice: This blog does have Amazon product links and Google Adsense

Protesting Christmas
What is it about Christmas that causes our entire lives to be upset? We are staging a sit in. In this picture, I am sitting in the place Katy's crate used to occupy and if you notice, my couch has been moved to a far corner. Katy was trying to block the Paparazi from snapping photographs and gaining enjoyment from our legitimate protest of taking our space and replacing it with of all things a Christmas tree.
Dad hastens to remind me how much I love hiding behind the Christmas tree and spying on everyone from my couch. He mentions that I stage an equally strong protest in January when my spying tree is removed. I have no memory of fighting to keep the tree. He also points out that Katy has a better view of the front door where her crate is now giving her an advantage she does not have during the other seasons of the year.
We were forced to give up our protest and Katy gave in and has tried out her new crate position a few times now. She seems pleased with her door access. I will not admit to using my couch until Mom documents it with photographic evidence.
We were excited to get our first Christmas cards ever. We have heard from Chewy Deravi, Bella and Daisy, Bert King, Miley and Maggie, and Dakota and Cody. We have all our cards displayed in Mom's Christmas card wreath. Wait until Grandma sees all our Christmas cards.

So sorry for the change of arrangement in your home at the holidays. It is hard with the new stuff that begins popping up all over the place. Stuff you can't even play with. Still there are so perks too....treats seem to come for freely!
ReplyDeleteChange is hard I know. Hang in there, it will be okay - I promise.
ReplyDeleteAren't the cards grand!! I love them. Rearranging the furniture is always so chaotic - good thing it's only twice a year there!
ReplyDeleteChristmas causes all sorts of change! You two seem to be handling it well.
ReplyDeleteMovin your furniture! This is not right. Oh, Mom reminded me that my couch just got moved. Oh well, ah, better view?
ReplyDeletewoos, Tessa
We agree. It is no fun when hooomans change the house around.
ReplyDeleteYou have our support,
Essex & Sherman
Poor pooches! LOL They really do look very upset by this news!
ReplyDeleteoh darn. must be a big tree if all the furniture has to be rearranged. i am guessing it will all be worth it in the end. hope the photographers - paparazzi - can post pics of the tree culprit!
ReplyDeleteWe are moving our furniture this weekend. I don't think Leroy is going to be very happy that we are moving his couch away from the window!
ReplyDeleteWhy can't the humans move their own furniture and leave the dogs stuff alone! Humans think they are the bosses around here don't they! Good luck in your protest.
