Sorry I missed my Friday date with you. Mom's been really busy and forgot to remind me it was time to write to you again. (I haven't mastered the calendar, yet. Can you believe it?) So, I'm a day late, but I have lots of pictures to share today.
Kes and I have a brand new game. It starts by running around the dining room table. It doesn't matter who does the chasing. It's the
running that's the important part.
Then, when we're on opposite sides of the table, I hide under a chair where Kessie can't reach me. Next is the good part. Kes barks at me! Just one sharp, "Come out of there right now" bark to get my attention. I wag my tail and the chasing starts all over again! We keep playing until we have to get a drink of water, 'cuz our tongues are hanging out. It's a blast!
Our other game is to take all of the squeaky toys out of our toy basket and scatter them around the living room. (Mom says it looks like a massacre was perpetrated on the rug. hee hee) Kes has quite a collection of toys, and then Mom added some great new toys for me. We share, so that way we get to play with even more toys than if we were selfish and only played with our own.
Kes and I roll all of them around with our noses, and have a great time squeaking and playing tug-of-war. My two favorites are the red Kong toy (which has great "rollability") and the fox in the front right of this picture. It's my newest toy and I can really whip it around if I hold it by the tail.
When my red Kong toy starts rolling, I make a point of pushing it under the sofa. Most of the time I can get it myself, but sometimes I prefer to just guard it while I watch Kes beat up the rest of the toys...and wait for Mom or Dad to move the sofa so I can sneak around the back to get it.
Dad always comes in the room and in a real serious voice says, "Ok. What are you two up to now?" Kes smiles and wags her tail, which seems to get a good reaction. I try to follow her lead by looking cute and smiling, too.
Or sometimes I just sit down and look cute. As soon as the laughing starts, I know it worked.
I hope you're all having fun and being safe as you finish your holiday errands. This will be my very first Christmas, and I can tell already that I'm going to like it a lot. Next Friday is Christmas Eve. I'm thinking about dressing up for the occasion. See you next week!
Fezzik Inconceivable (and Kes, too!)
I thought you might enjoy a mosaic of all the quilts I created in 2010. It was a busy and satisfying year for me, and I hope you enjoyed my creative process. There were thirteen quilts total, although I'll probably make two more small quilts before the end of the month...one for Kes and one for Fezzik. Santa asked me to do it for him, and I'm all to happy to add new quilts to the list for my two dogs.
