Woo on the hill

My girlfriend came to visit the other night and it was quite glorious.

 Which girlfriend you might ask?  True I am a dog of many bitches and yes I have played the field from time to time but Roxy is my special gal my soul mate if you will. 

She came over with Meg and Jess, we heard her chirping from a half mile away and I was very excited to see her. It's Been a bit since we were watching her daily and the first time she has seen my new world. 

We danced and kissed and sniffed when she got here then we took off for a short tour of the terrain. 

Meg left after a bit and Jess stayed on to "help" bones hook up his receiver in the little room. I use the word help laughingly because really Jess does all the work while bones yells at him and makes ridiculous suggestions.

 Butter cup has observed that Bones tries to control Jess and tell him what to do. 

It's very similar to Bones trying to control me and tell me what to do.
Really the  result is neither of us listen anyway but hey Bones need to think he is in charge so we let him blather on.

Woo and I came back from our cruise and got comfy in the little room, I was on my bed and she was laying on the little porch soaking up the local  smells. 

At one point Boss came out for a visit and Woo was going to attack him, I interceded by blocking her and giving her a slight nip on the head. She does not know Boss yet and she was in a totally new place so really it was just instinct on her part, I did the intros to let her know Boss is one of us. 

Woo as we all know is a ball junkie and she found every disgusting tennis ball on the land. By the time she left there was a ball in the room and the RV and by the cars. I am sure these are all part of Reds elaborate stash of balls scattered up and down the road. 

Speaking of Red he and I have had a strained relationship since our altercation. Really I have figured out he is not to be trifled with so I give him a wider berth than  I used to. 

Jess got the job done and we all settled in to watch an episode of a show Jess and Bones like. 
Bones loved it, spending time with his kids is a highlight of life for him. 

I should mention Boss has known Jess all his life,from the time he was a whelp to now. 

Roxy liked the fact I have no fences to hold me in and the pure freedom this spot affords me. 

When they left we gave each other lots of smooches and nipped and snarled goodby.

She did her usual high pitched barks goodby as they drove off and I responded with my shrieking howl that I save just for her. 

I love her and she loves me. 

It's the season to let the beings most important to you know that you love them. 
Do not be afraid to share your emotions laugh cry and love with all your heart.

One bites too many and a thousand ain't enough

I am not sure what this Christmas season is all about, I do know it entails family, food, games and presents.

This is my 4th christmas with Bones and so far it seems like the best. We have shared Christmas with several different families.

The first year after our accident we were at Debs peoples house and we also did a party at Susan's house with Meg and Jesse.

Last year it was at the Carp house with Joni's people and the two big labs.

This year we met Buttercups blood line and had a big pre Christmas dinner at her house with her brother his wife her mom her moms husband and her Brothers daughter.

Even though I can't eat junk food like I used to I can still beg like a champ. Buttercup was a little worried about how I would handle myself with so many people, turns out she should have been worried about Bones. I guess the truth is she was way more worried about Bones behaving than she was me.

As a matter of fact it seems all the people involved in every situation  were way more worried about Bones than me.

 Just to let you know as we speak Buttercup is cleaning. Her people are coming up for a visit and she wants the RV and the room to be presentable. Bones thinks she likes to clean, I know better, she has to clean because Bones is complete animal with as she puts it "not one domestic bone in his body".

Two nights ago Boss Hog cooked a turkey on a spit, or he spit on a turkey I get confused.

It was outrageously good and I know this because I ate a lot of it. Thats right folks for the first time in well over a year I got to chow some cooked food.

I felt like an addict falling off the wagon, my whole being changed, after the first bite I just wanted more and more.

Boss was very generous and I chowed until my eyes were spinning.

 Both Bones and boss thought I would reach my limit but I wanted more, a lot more.
 I felt a primal surge of adrenaline rush through me as each scrumptious mouthful landed in my belly.

Boss has me pretty wired he made me lie down at his feet before he would give me a piece of turkey.

Bones tossed each piece into my snarling maw.

Sadly when they both realized I was way over the edge    they cut me off "cold turkey" as it were.

Bones got all cuddly in his bed and thought we were done for the night, he dozed off to one of the shows he watches and went off to dream land.

I was not through by any means, I wanted more of the good stuff and I knew where it was.
 Boss had the stash and I intended to get some. I cold nosed Bones on his hand  and scratched the door, after some prodding on my part he reluctantly let me out.

I headed straight for the steps which lead to the sweet  nectar.
The cat was blocking my path and I knew she was going to give me a smack upside the head but in my triptaphane  fevered stupor the pain was worth it for one more bite.

I lightly taped on the door with my outstreched paw to no avail. I then resorted to scracthing the door feverously which did wake Brian up,  to my chagrin instead of leting me in he texted Bones to come get me.

Bones was not thrilled, I was not thrilled, Boss was not thrilled.

In my defense let me point out I am a dog I have been free and clear of anything but my dehydrated food for a year and these guys got me hooked again.

So three days later my Turkey comedown is finally over, Buttercup has been here so the withdrawel was easier but let me tell you if you are on the wagon and trying to stay clean this is the hardest time of year.

Happy what ever it is you celebrate and be sure to hug your people and of course your four legged friends.

Remember some people and some animals are fighting their demons so keep some non alchoholic beverages on hand for the revelers and no more binging for me.
