Gracy Returns

Xena: Our friend Gracie came back to stay with us while her folks took a vacation in Puerto Rico, where they’re visiting their family and friends and eating all the delicious foods there that they have missed. Gracy used to come visit when Angel Lexi was here, and they got along good. After Angel Lexi became an angel, Gracie stayed here at the house with Mommy and Daddy so they weren’t so lonely here with no dog. She even went to In Dee Anna with them over Christmas and even got to sit on Santa’s lap while her folks went to Germany . She also was Mommy’s work-dog for the couple of weeks she was here, and has been to Rock City with my folks.

Fast forward a whole bunch of years… It was kind of a slow start to us all getting used to each other. Gracie was here a month or so ago, and we all got along then. This time, after a couple of days, Gracy was one of the pack. She’s the same size as me and Chia, and she won’t back down to us or to Riley, either. She just stands there and stares right back at us. You’ve got to respect that.

Chia: At first I tried to intimidate Gracie, so that, you know, she recognized me as being in charge. Like Xena said, it didn’t work. Early Saturday morning Mom took me and Gracy for a walk in the neighborhood.

We walked together and read pee mail and explored a little bit. She can walk almost as fast as me! Now we kinda hang out, following the folks through the house, and even sleep together in the big bed! I like this chick!

Xena: After their walk I watched Mom groom Gracy. We had a big day Saturday, what with the grooming and our brother Adam here all weekend for his birthday, and our other Brother Andrew coming over and me and Chia playing ball and stuff.

Gracie wanted me to do something with her, but I was worn out and settled into my kennel for a pre-bedtime nap.

We’re going to miss Gracie when her family comes for her this Wednesday. Last night we voted and…

Lucy: Xena we didn’t vo…

Xena: Everyone but Lucy voted and we agreed that Gracie can come back and stay with us anytime she wants.

Thanks to Miss Sandee at Comedy Plus for hosting Awww Monday!

  1. Java Bean: “Visitors can be fun! Especially when they’re the same size as you and even more especially when they like to play!”
    Chaplin: “Yes, Dennis’s friend Saphira used to come and stay with us when her Mama and Dada went out of town. I remember once when Saphira came to stay with us again after Dennis went to the Rainbow Bridge, she wandered around the house looking for him, and then started whimpering when she couldn’t find him. I know how she felt …”
