Chia: We’ve only been back from our vacation in In Dee Anna a few days and we’re leaving again. That’s a lot of travel, but hey, I like to ride in the car as long as you don’t shoot out liquid poop all over our travel pillow in our kennel, XeBe.
Xena: It’s been over a week, Chia, and no, we’re not going. So I won’t be shooting out anything from anywhere on your whatever.
Chia: Wait…we’re not going? They’re not leaving us all alone for 87 days, are they? Wait! Does that mean…
Xena: Yep, Daddy’s taking Mommy to the beach again for her birthday. He’s been doing that for several years now, in case you haven’t noticed. But it means Miss Christy is coming, and when she can’t be here for a day or so, Miss Pam, our favorite neighbor will be feeding us and spending time with us.
Chia: Woo hoo! How soon are Mom and Dad leaving? Tomorrow, maybe? Or tonight??? Why didn’t Miss Pam tell us that when she was here?
Xena: Maybe because you were so busy attacking Lucy and jumping all over Miss Pam. You did get to spend more time in your kennel while she was here learning how to feed us than since we got back from our In Dee Anna trip. Anyhow, it also means we won’t get to blog unless Miss Christy helps us, or we do it remote with Mommy.
Chia: I don’t care. I get to be with Miss Christy and Miss Pam without Mom correcting me! I can beat up on Lucy all I…
Uh, ummm, hi Mom. Love ya.
The Mom: I’m so thankful that your Dad takes me to the beach, even though he’d rather be in the mountains. And I’m thankful beyond words that you’re all over your bouts with diarrhea. I’m also extremely thankful for our wonderful dog sitter, Christy, and that Pam is thrilled to spend time with all of you! And you’re right, Xena, I may not be helping y’all blog again for about a week or so, and I’m thankful that you understand. We’ll just have to wait and see how that works out.
We’re all thankful to Brian for hosting Brian’s Thankful Thursday!

Nope. We all told them not to go as they walked out the door. But Miss Christy is here now and we finally got our supper, so everything is ok for now. XOX Xena

You’re probably right, but Beau would probably adapt. Of course, everyone but Riley starts trying to get us out of bed if we’re not up by 6am.

I love beaches and mountains equally, either or fits me. have a wonderful time and don’t get to sunburned. Chia, you be good, we know you will. ha ha ha haha.. so glad you have good sitters. we have never had a sitter and I wonder what one would do since all our dogs are 3 am risers because we are.. not a sitter alive that would want to wake up at 3 am I fear…
