Full house

Wow, what a weekend. Saturday, I went to the beach. I need to put pictures up of me going there, but my mom keeps forgetting to help me. I played in the ocean and rolled in the sand, and I caught the tennis ball a LOT. The problem with the tennis ball at the beach though, is that it gets wet and then sticky and before you know it my whole mouth is full of sand.. yuck!

After the beach, I got to go to the spa. It was a little weird, because it wasn't my normal spa that I am used to, but it was kind of similar. I liked the people a lot, and the lady who cut my hair said she was in love with me. That was nice and all, but I mean, really we just met. Can't she get to know me a little more? So, then when my mom got there, I was so relieved that I almost fell off the table. Good thing the nice kind of crazy lady was there to catch me.

The only bad thing on Saturday was that when I got in the car after my bath, there was this weird slippery clear material all over my seat. My mom said it was called plastic, and it was there, because she just got the seats shampooed, but I mean, really, it was not very comfortable. Doesn't she know that my comfort is supposed to come first? Speaking of, I totally got kicked out of my bed last night, but more on that later.

So, yesterday, I got to go on a nice long walk for almost an hour. When we got home, I was so tired! Between the beach and the bath and the walk, I was just completely exhausted. So, I slept.... and when I woke up, my Nonni and Pop and my dad were all here! It was so awesome! My Nonni and Pop even let me sit on the couch in between them, and they both pet me at the same time. At their house, they don't even let me sit on the couch at all. It would be terrible, except that at their house, my boyfriend Jack lives next door.

Okay, so I thought life was really great last night.... lots of attention, scraps of food being handed over, the best of it all! Then, it was bed time, and there was no room in any of the beds for me. What is that about? Normally, I get to sleep with my mom, and if I don't feel like doing that, I just go in the other room and have a whole bed to myself. Here I was, bedless. I mean, I know, there are two couches, plus I have two of my own beds, but those are on the ground! I like my 400 thread count sheets on pillow top mattresses, thank you very much. So, here I was, no bed, and it was getting late, and it was dark, and next thing I know it everyone is asleep. Well, I finally managed to fall asleep myself... on the floor, if you can believe it. At 4:30 though, I woke up and I thought I better try to get in a bed again. I went to my mom's side, put my head on the bed by her face and just growled - not a mean growl or anything - just enough to let her know I was there. I kept that up for a while. Then, she let me out of the room, and I thought I would do try in Nonni and Pop's room, but I didn't get any results there either. Back to my mom's side of the bed - she's the sucker, after all. After another 15 minutes of pacing and growling, she finally let me in! I won! We were all laying there happily.... well, I was happy, but she kept flopping around. Actually, come to think of it, that was kind of annoying. Well, anyway, thank goodness she finally left, and I got my spot in the bed all to myself. I had to share the bed with my dad, and he snores, so it's not ideal, but at least I didn't have to share with both of them anymore. I am definitely going to have to try that tactic again!

Well, its officially Christmas eve now, but there's no snow.... come to think of it, the weather looks exactly like it always does. I wonder what that is about. I hope I get some good presents this year... I usually don't get mine until the day after Christmas (something about something called a sale... not sure), but still I hope they are good!

That's all for now. Keep scratching and licking and sniffing :)
