Mom's a slacker

Mom should have been letting me get online and post but nooooooooooooooo....   all she did was take 3 college finals...   get pneumonia...and start year end close at work..... all while all these wonderful things were happening to me...your friend the Jub - like Mommy and her friend were baking cookies - and they put the chairs in around the dining room table so I couldn't get to the dough (I am polite - will only go on the table if I can step up gracefully)....so ..I found my 2 legger sister's box of modeling clay and knocked it down off the shelf with my nose...then pushed it over to the table with my paws and made myself a step stool - unfortunately mom's friend caught me and thwarted my dough stealing effort!  THEN - the next week, mom and my brother and sister went out and came back with a REAL TREE!!!!  THEY brought a REAL TREE into the house!  I get yelled at for bringing poopy bunny ( my stuffed animal that I take outdoors and ..well ...has poop on him) and branches in the house.  The tree smelled so good that I did the JubJub butt wiggle shuffle!  Then - they took the tree and stood it up in the dining room window and put lights and things that looked like they'd be fun to chew on it!  I got scolded each time I tried to take one so I gave up on that and just looked at the millions of lights on the tree!  Then we went to grandmas house on Christmas Eve - OH BOY OH BOY ....I got to pee on the neighbors dog again!!!  I love peeing on that white yappy thing!  Then I ran all over grandma's yard and went in the house and laid on her bed.   I love sleeping in beds and I was a goodboy and didn't even try to eat her down comforter!!!  After we left grandma's house we went to Uncle Harry's house - mom left me in the car because Uncle Harry has a cat.  Right before we left mom let me out to pee.  I don't like all those bright lights and moving things in the yard - they just don't seem right to me - they put me on edge.  I haven't seen Uncle Harry since I was a pup so when he came out  - I thought he was a big guy trying to attack mom so I growled and barked in his face.  Uncle Harry backed up.  I must look pretty tough on my hind legs - I stand almost 6 ft tall.  Mom was pretty shocked - as I'm everyone's friend.  She walked me around a bit and I felt bad - I realized that Uncle Harry is a good guy!  I sat down in front of him and gave him the look - but that didn't work.  I laid down in front of him - and that didn't work ....I even crawled on the ground up to him - and THAT didn't work.  His wife told him to pet me - and he said - YOU pet him - he almost just took my head off!  I was just protecting my mom!  Maybe in the future Uncle Harry will see that and give me another chance.  Then - Christmas day - somehow SANTA snuck in the house..right by me!!!!!  .....  he left me toys and chewies and rawhide bones and all kinds of neat stuff - and best of all - WRAPPING PAPER AND BOXES!!!!  I love chewing wrapping paper and boxes!!!!!  My kids stayed home with me all week long and I got to cuddle in bed with my sister Sammy - then all too soon it was over and my kids went back to school!  What is that stuff - I want them home with me all day long - and that mom has been working long hours with what she calls year end closing stuff.    One bright spot is we got a load of wood delivered and its like having all new chew toys!!!  OH BOY OH BOY  - mom keeps telling me to stop eating the heat ....whatever that means.....  all I know is so many pieces of wood - so little time.  Mom should be happy - at least I'm not peeing on the wood..................   'til next time....as always...  your friend.....   JubJub
