Tuesdays With Tag - Starting A New Year...

Hi, Everybody!

Well, here we are startin' a new year together. I hope you had great holiday celebrations, and didn't eat too much food. Mom was careful to ration our treats so we don't pack on the pounds over the holidays.

There was a flurry of activity around here yesterday 'cuz our second son and daughter-in-law showed up with their (our girls). Both granddaughters helped Mom in the kitchen all day, and there might have been a little chucklin' at me when they saw that I was hangin' around Granddaughter #2 all the time. 

She and I have always had a lot in common, so I guess she might be my favorite, although I love 'em both. Granddaughter #2 has strawberry blonde hair just like mine, and she's just a little shorter than the rest of her family so she gets me. Plus, she always gives great cuddles - and I love her cuddles.

There were presents exchanged which is always a favorite pasttime for us dogs. We even get to help open them sometimes. We aren't even gonna mention all the great food smells. Unless schnibbles accidentally landed on the floor durin' prep, we didn't see much of the people food, though. All three of us hung out under the dinin' room table, though, just in case there was a drop emergency. We're always ready to serve.

All in all it was a really great day, and we had so much fun, we didn't even think about takin' any pictures! (That's how you know it was fun.) The wind kept comin' up all day, too, so it was pretty chilly outside by dark. It was too icky to hang around in the yard when we aired out, so we got our outside jobs done quickly, and all just bundled into our favorite sleepin' spots and took a late day practice nap...includin' Mom and Dad. I can tell you that I had some pretty sweet dreams, thinking about my red-haired granddaughter. It was the best day so far this year!

This week is gonna be pretty excitin'. We're gettin' started on a pantry remodel, so today, I'm gonna supervise while Mom and Dad empty the walls and cupboards on the sink side of the room. I heard Mom say she doesn't even know where to start puttin' stuff to get it out of the way while the room under construction.

I know one thing's for sure, Carly will have lots of strangers to bark at, Bella will spend most of her days sleepin' on the bed upstairs to just stay out of the way, and I'm gonna be on the lookout for workers takin' lunch breaks. Nobody can mooch a piece of sandwich like a Corgi, and I'm more talented at it than the average pup. I'll let you know how it's goin' next week. I'm gonna run for now.

I'll see you again in seven. 'til then...
