Happy Turkey Day!
Sophie helped her momma decorate a Christmas tree for the local hospital's fundraiser. Actually our offering is a wreath on a mirror with a matching tree. Who knew the level of stress accompanying the design of such a donation! There have been no less than four different attempts at the design. In momma's opinion, there is nothing worse than GLITTER. She has had glitter everywhere over the past 3 weeks!
Usually, momma helps a friend with the set up and isn't in charge of actually designing the tree. This year her friend asked for our help because she had the gear for two more trees donated by a lovely retiree who moved south and didn't want to take it all with her. The two, along with her own tree would be quite a challenge for one person to decorate. Momma said yes, she'd help and as such, momma was blessed with the bronze/brown decorations to design a tree on her own. In all honesty, the tree and wreath turned out beautifully. Stress aside, momma thinks she'd do it again.
Sophie and her kitty sisters are headed to stay at the vets while her momma and dad head south to Florida for a sunny break. The staff at the vets are awesome, but if Sophie had her way she would tag along with momma and dad. She has such a connection with her family. She does not like being away from the action, or her momma.
Happy December 11th!
Guess who forgot to publish this post? Sophie, Patches, and Blizzard all returned from the kennels no worse for wear...well except for Sophie who picked up Kennel Cough while she was there. It turns out there are several strains of Kennel Cough and someone shared a strain not included in her vaccination. Day 4 of antibiotics and a cough suppressant and her momma is pleased to say she seems to have stopped coughing!

Time to start working on decorating our house for Christmas. Sophie again apologizes for her human momma's failure to post this sooner. She wants to reassure all of you that she is employing the best training practices for humans; high praise for correct behavior, 'the look' as shown above, and lots of treats and love.

ReplyDeleteOMD Sophie, I am so glad to see a post from you! Sorry to hear 'the help' was a bit furgetful, but I have no doubt your training will take hold :-) How annoying to have picked up that cough, but it seems you are being cared for very nicely - so 'the help' is not so bad after all!!! Continue to gat better, daer Sophie. Hugs and wags YAM-aunty xxx
