Xena: Last Friday our folks drove away and left us all here all by ourselves. 87 minutes later one of our favorite people, Miss Christy, showed up! Well, she missed seeing Mommy and Daddy, so she decided to just stay here with us! Isn’t it funny that she had a suitcase with her clothes and stuff in it?

She fed us and cuddled with us and made me feel safe even though I missed my Mommy.
Miss Christy left on Sunday, and not long after that our pawrents got home! They didn’t seem surprised when I told them that Miss Christy was here. Me and Chia and Lucy all got to sleep with them last night.
Riley: Mom Amy stunk like Achilles. I knew right away where they’d been. They left us all here and went to visit Achilles.
Lucy: But they came home in time to celebrate my birthday. *wags* And they brought pictures of my boyfriend, Achilles! Here’s the pictures they took and the story of their visit.

Achilles: I’ve been really depressed since my sister Ella crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Then Aunt Amy came and she pet me and played with me and hugged me and played with me and kissed me and played with me and cuddles with me in the big chair and I was really happy like a puppy (I’m 10) the whole time she and Uncle Jeff were here. They promised to bring my best girl Lucy with them next time. I hope it’s soon!

Hi, I’m Sophie. I’m a whole lot smaller than both my brothers – Achilles and Morty the Original Pig. I’m only 40 pounds and not a year old yet. I got to meet my Aunt Amy and she was a nice lady. She was gentle and patient with me and scratched me really good. I won’t be afraid next time she comes.
Mom Amy: This was our annual birthday trip to celebrate both Jeff and Jen’s January birthdays. We always eat too much, drink too much, talk too much and just have a great time, as we did this year. We didn’t take the dogs because we didn’t want any “incidents” with Morty, or them scaring little Sophie. Next time Lucy will go for sure, and we’ll celebrate her birthday at the same time. I just want to add that we are wonderfully blessed with the best dog sitter in the world! Thank you Christy!!
Many thanks to Miss Sandee at Comedy Plus for hosting Awww Monday!
I’m glad they are too. But our driveway has been a sheet of ice since Monday. We’re hoping we don’t run out of food! *wags* Lucy

Lulu: “It sounds like your Mommy and Daddy may have just possibly arranged things with Miss Christy … Or I guess it could just be some bizarre coincidence too. You never know. I am glad they had a fun trip, and that you will get to go next time, Lucy!”

I used to keep dogs, but it is hard to now with 4 of my own. The one we used to love to keep and was always just one of the pack moved away. But we still keep little Gracie the shih tzu, who was around when Lexi was with us. She, too, is one of the pack. Last time, Xena started barking at her trying to establish dominance, and she just stood there looking at Xena like what’s your problem? LOL

you are blessed to have ms Christy… its hard to trust our babies to strangers and we all know she is great. I have a friend that I worked with, who now works from home, and she takes her computer with her and pet sits. She loves dogs and cats and has 5 of each at home, she and her sister own a house together so no sitter needed while she sits. she is good like Ms Christy. I would not be good staying at others houses, i don’t sleep well except at home, but i would keeps others at my house.

Sounds like Miss Christy kept you from missing your Mommy TOOOOOO much – it’s nice to have someone keep you company. Your Mom had some birthday parties to go to – maybe next time they go you can go. Anyway I know you’re happy to have her home again. Sophie is adorable – love her polka dots!
Hugs, Teddy
