My puppy is six months old today! We went to the dog park and he got completely covered in mud. and it’s cold enough out I couldn’t hose him down outdoors, so now the bathroom is disgusting—the tub was black with mud, and he of course had to shake it off a few times....yikes.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
JZ, I have never had the grief of losing a parent, but I deeply support you. I did love your ritual each year to ask us for people to add to your ritual (and Steph, too, with the boats)
Sue, that is a lovely memory.
I am actually challenged by a work card exchange, where we are writing a Christmas memory To another colleague. And I had nothing. Maria thought it was for you guys, and but I pointed out you might be amused at the funny stories I have. Well, they might be amused at the time I got hopped up on cold medicine and wrapped gifts all night on Christmas Eve and made a gift for last minute Uncle’s girlfriend while watching a weird Steve Martin movie that was based on Silas Marner, but modern day., and the whole time I couldn’t figure out if I was high or it was really based on Silas Marner. And honestly that was one of the last times I took the red Sudafed.
She pointed out our lovely Christmas Eves at the zoo, so now I have something to write about!

I saw your muddy puppy on Facebook, Meara. He was very muddy and very cute.

...well, now I’m flying to Florida tomorrow. Dad finally admitted he could use some help, so — before he forgets he said that or changes his mind — I need to get to him. I’ll wear multiple masks and a face shield and quarantine for a week before I actually see him, but it’s just got to happen. I hate leaving ND right before the holidays, but we both agree I need to go.
JZ, I’m so sorry. The grief is so hard.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh jeez, Pix, good luck with all of that! What kind of help?

I am amused!

Even with all the protective gear, I'm anxious about your travels, Pix. I hope they go safely and well.

WIN!! I left the dog at home to go to Trader Joe's, and this time, while he did bark like crazy as I left, by the time I came home he was quiet and just on the floor....wrapped in toilet paper...which I'd forgotten to remove from the bathroom. Hadn't touched the peanut butter filled Kong, but whatever! Success! (Except in that I forgot my shopping list and they were out of one of the things I remembered, so I have to go back to another store to get those, but...close to success!)
