I still got her up at 3 a.m. on Sunday.
I'm being what my mom calls "grumpy".
Grandma wouldn't let me go out again until after the sun rose. I secured the perimeter and did my business in the backyard.
Grandma started peeling potatoes and dumped baby carrots and the cut up potatoes into the big crock pot along with a very interesting hunk of beef.
While that was cooking, Grandma drove me to the dog park where I got bit last year. I don't really remember being upset about that. It upset the humans far more than it did me.
Grandma, though, was muttering something about needing to "face her fears", and that she had just me, no distractions. I had a good time. I met some new friends and we played chase all over the park. And nobody bit anybody!
Sure enough, by lunch (or late lunch) time, the roast beef was ready, and I got my share. So yummy, and it smells so good. I didn't even mind that Grandma wouldn't let me out to harass the Prisoner while he had his supper.
Grandma said to remember to say that "Life is good" and to "Keep Sparking".
3am? I hope you got in a little afternoon nap...
ReplyDeleteNo such luck! Carl is zonked out on my bed and I'm trouble shooting Fitbit / Google watch interaction. But need to put myself to bed!
DeleteWhat a good boy you are Carl for Grandma! Glad you had a great time at the park and made new friends!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the day! (((BIG HUGS)))

Arf! Hope you're all recovered from your vaccine side effects by now.
DeleteYes, it was great to hear that the park was a great visit this time. Great fun to 'hear' from Carl.
ReplyDeleteThanks! We have survived two of the six days, so far, while the kids and her parents are B&B-ing a "ghostly" themed town for Halloween spooky season. Carl would not have enjoyed that so much.
DeleteEnjoy the Carl time. Poor kitty 🐈⬛ gets exiled again. 🤗💕
ReplyDeleteBut it *is* self-exile. Carl I am sure would be OK with him.
DeleteI love the Carl perspective!
ReplyDeleteHave fun.
Will do! We got up at about 4 Monday morning, but thankfully Carl let Grandma not off a bit on the couch while he was a "lap dog" (size large).
DeleteCarl, oh no on the 3 am wake up! Grandma won’t like that if you keep doing that! LOL
ReplyDeleteOHhhhhh, I can only imagine that the bits of beef were very interesting to you! They . . . . are . . . . good!
Glad that you had a good time @ the park and nothing untoward happened. I am sure that Grandma was VERY pleased.
ANNNNNNDDDDDD . . . you got your shard of the beef! Good Grandma, eh!
Be nice to Prisoner! Grandma loves you both!
Hugs

DeleteGood job grandma, facing your fears! And Carl, what a treat to hear from you 🥰
ReplyDeleteI think the dog bar actually wore him out tonight! You should have seen all the costumes! Dog-parents are so creative... they are up in my FB story, and probably will blog a few here later.
