Merry Christmas

I've noticed that lately, when Mom and Dad come home, they frequently smell of food that I don't recognize. When I climb up on their front to give them a breathalyzer (pretty low-tech; I just sniff their breath), I'm smelling food that I haven't had. But I can tell I want it. A lot. I tried prying Dad's mouth open to see if there was any left, but all I got was laughed at.

Turns out they've been hanging out on Devon Avenue and getting delicious masala tea and garlic naan and fragrant rice with various yummy stuff on it. I gave them a stern whistling in their ears, and now they always bring home a little rice or naan.

Breathalyzers work, people! Merry Christmas and happy Indian dinners for all!

Holiday Update

Not much to report here. Dad brought a pie home from Bennison's Bakery and gave us the pie box. That was awesome! It's the perfect size to camp out in.

We're all mostly getting along better these days, too. Gerald and Squeaky are starting to understand -- after I've explained to them for the 10 billionth time -- that getting petted and rubbed by the Parents really feels GOOD. I caught Squeaky stretched out with her eyes slitted and her ears laid back the other morning, letting mom rub her forehead. She tried to play it off when I commented on it later, though.

Mom & I are good. The other night I laid down with mom, curled up against the palm of her hand, and groomed her fingers completely for her. We stayed like that for a good half hour. She thanked me and told me I was SUCH a good girl.

And you know, I really am!

Didn't hurt that her fingers totally smelled like food.

Oh! Speaking of food, have you guys tried this shit called "Cantaloupe"? Mom's been giving me some of this, and it is THA BOMB.

Gerald Mistakes Mom's Camera for a Granola Bar

This is excellent cinematic documentation of Gerald's game. First, she goes all "Can't hear you! I'm BLIND!" and then can't help herself and charges at Mom's camera and tries to eat it.



Much love to Mom for helping me upload the video to YouTube.
