Xena on Vacation on Selfie Sunday

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia20 Comments

Hi friends, it’s me, Xena, on vacation in Fort Wayne, In Dee Anna. First, here is my selfie at our Air B&B:

Mom and me and Chia have been going for walks every morning. Yesterday we got to go to visit our grandma in the nursing home. She was real happy to see us both. And Chia was real good with her this time. In fact, a lot of the ladies that live there pet us both and smiled a lot.

From there we went to our Aunt Bobbi’s and Uncle Dennis’. The plan was for Daddy to drop us and Mommy off at their house, then take Aunt Bobbi with him to where a lot of the family were meeting at a Mexican restaurant. (Uncle Dennis had already left, cause we stayed too long at Grandma’s and were running late.)

Anyhoo, about 5 minutes after they left us, Aunt Bobbi called and said the rental car’s back tire had “blown out.” They needed Mommy’s help. Mommy and me, we left in Aunt Bobbi’s car to find them in the “middle of nowhere” and after about 87 minutes the tow truck came, Daddy rode to the tire place with the tow truck crew, and Mommy and me, we drove home. (Uncle Dennis already came and picked up Aunt Bobbi.)

By that time, everyone had already come back to the house for dessert and to visit.

By the time I got back there after helping with the tow truck, everyone had already gotten real attached to Chia, so I mostly kept to myself next to Mommy. And she had a plate of food, too.

Now we’re in Inn Dee Ann Apple Is. We stayed all night in another Air B&B called a “Tiny Home.” And wow, is it ever tiny. We were all tired and went to bed on a pull-out couch. Chia woke us all up two times during the night wanting to sleep where I was sleeping. The first time I moved for her. The second time Mommy said, “No! Go lay down or you’ll be sleeping in the car.” (Chia believed her, he, he.)

Daddy had something he had to do here today, and then we were going to spend another night and leave after breakfast tomorrow. Now, we voted…

Chia: You know we didn’t vote, Xena!

Xena: …and we decided to leave early this afternoon and drive home. Maybe I’ll get to lay in Mommy’s lap the whole way home.

Me and Chia and Mommy just got back from a very long sidewalk walk and us pups are going to lay down and rest now. Have a Happy Selfie Sunday!

Thanks to The Cat on My Head  for hosting Sunday selfies!

Lucy in sweater Dec 2017

I’m home! I didn’t think me and Dad would ever get home. We left Ill in noise at 5:30 in the morning with the temperature at 6 degrees below zero. That’s minus 21 sell see us, per Mom. I never understood why Mom made me get that sweater from the smart pet place until I went to Ill in noise. It was so cold there that I thought my furs were going to freeze up and fall off.  I started grabbing my sweater from the couch and taking it to Dad when I needed to go out. That, plus running a lot, helped.

Oscar never did warm up to me. And I bet he would have been warm to cuddle up to. On Christmas night, Dad’s sister and her husband and Daisy the Aussie mix dog came to stay. Do you know what Oscar did? He played with Daisy! I. Am. So. Mad.

On the drive home we had to wait to get through traffic with two axy dents. Plus, it took me forever to find a good place to poop. What Mom? TMI? But it did! OK, sorry. Now, where was I? We didn’t get home until almost 9 o’clock at night. Dad was sick so he went to bed. I pretty much fell over from exhaustion.

I felt better this morning, but Dad missed work and spent the whole day in bed. Come to think of it, he’s still there. Good thing Mom came home from work and gave me my supper. I thought maybe Xena would stay home with me today, but she said she had too much to do at work. I’ll let her tell you about that…

Hi, this is Xena! You see, I had to get my new super puter set up at work. The one I got for Christmas. Then I had to learn how to use it and get to work. You can see here that I am figuring out how to turn it on.

I finally got it turned on. There was a squirrel on the screen, but I was trying to find the mouse. Later Mommy told me the mouse was hiding underneath my puter. I did the best I could with a squirrel instead of a mouse, and got a lot of work done today.

Lucy: Thanks, Xena, I’ll take it from here.

It was good to see my guy Riley again. We pretty much just hung out. Then Xena got home from work.

Pee S: The weather person said it is supposed to get even colder up in the north, so, friends, stay in and stay warm and be sure to wear your sweater when you go out to potty.

Mystery Solved

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia30 Comments

Woof to all my friends! I didn’t mean to leave everyone in suspense. It’s just that I didn’t know any more than Xena did about where Dad and I were going. We drove for a long time before stopping for the night. We had a huge bed, sized for a king, so I slept right in the middle, up against my Dad. I wanted him to feel warm and safe, you know. Mom had packed my raw diet in portions for Dad to feed me breakfast in the hotel. I know that ’cause I had watched her weigh, package and label it all. So the next morning Dad dumped my breckies food into my bowl. Dad didn’t know how fast I always eat that yummy meat, so he thought I didn’t get enough and gave me another package! Woo hoo! Score! (Later Mom told him not to do that, and that he would have to come up with another meal for me!)

We piled back into the car and kept going into colder weather. Finally, we ended up at my grandma’s house in Illinois, where there was another surprise waiting. A cat had moved in. I tried to give a friendly greeting to Oscar, my grandma’s new cat. After sniffing me, he swatted my nose! Ow!! How rude!

I decided to leave Oscar alone the rest of the night and see if he felt any friendlier in the morning.

The next morning, after my first outie with my Dad, I wanted to go downstairs to my bedroom. Oscar growled, “Thou shalt not pass.” Huh?

I took this to mean I should run really fast down the stairs.

Speaking of running, Dad has been letting me run off-leash during the day when we go outside together. I run really, really fast and always come right back to him when he calls.

I spend time with my grandma during the day but I can’t sleep with her at night because of Oscar. Darn cat. Well, I’m still trying to win him over, and then we can both sleep with grandma.

Mom, be sure and tell Riley and Xena where I am and that I will be coming home after Christmas.

Love and wiggles, Lucy the un-grounded
