Good Evening Everyone,
Didn't we have just a wonderful holiday season? I particularly enjoyed all the family time we had together. And now we are starting a New Year. I just love the start of a New Year because it brings with it so many wonderful new beginnings.
Speaking of something new beginning, I am just so proud to report that Mr. Bob has decided to return to school and prepare himself for a career that allows him to stay home on a daily basis. Although I have appreciated his sacrifices in leaving the family in order to go to work each week, I must say I am so pleased to know that he won't be doing that any more. Without Mr. Bob our little family is missing it's jaunty spark. Don't get me wrong. Miss Jacque and Mr Alex are both wonderful. But there just seems to be something about Mr Bob that livens the place up.
We are having no shortage of excitement in our pack these days. We have a new morning and evening schedule to follow, we're eating much healthier, we're exercising several days a week, and we're being exceptionally thrifty. Miss Jacque has a talent for being able to stretch her money each week to be sure to provide us with wonderful meals and needed supplies; not to mention supervising the collective efforts of everyone to keep our home neat and tidy. I so admire her domestic talents.
Now that Mr Bob is staying at home each day, Mr Rudy seems to be under the impression that we will all starve because no one is going out hunting for food. I don't know why he thinks Mr. Bob left each week to go hunting as it is Miss Jacque and Mr Alex who bring in the groceries each week. But suffice to say, Mr Rudy has been overly anxious about making sure food is provided.
I am not an eye witness so I can not comment on whether or not Mr Rudy intentionally ambushed one of the fish from Mr Alex's aquarium. But I did witness Mr Rudy chewing on it's dried and petrified remains. That was such a disgusting sight! He was lying on the floor, holding the poor petrified carcass of the fish in his paws, and trying to grind it up by chewing and gnawing all over it. He made quite a noise. In fact, the noise is what got Miss Jacque's attention and she, quite thankfully, took the dead fish away from Mr. Rudy and threw it into the trash! But I think that hurt Mr. Rudy's feelings a tad because after that he crawled under their bed and pouted for a while. He's been mumbling about a cat with long ears and a round, puffy tail. I think he is planning to hunt a rabbit next. This could prove to be quite an entertaining event.
And finally, I am proud to announce that I have taught Miss Mollee how to go outside and COME BACK without running off like a wild buffalo. I saw how distressed everyone would get when Miss Mollee would dart out the front door and run away. I asked her why she did that. She told me that she was just overcome with joy to be running free that it never occurred to her that she shouldn't leave her own yard and stay close to the house. Having been a victim of the cruel dangers in the outside world, I cautioned her to think with more care and protect herself from the many dangers outside the front door. She seems to have seriously considered what I advised because now she goes outside to potty with me and she comes right back. I am glad she is motivated by good sense rather than continuing to run willy-nilly up and down the street.
I hope everyone has started as wonderful a New Year as we have. Take care and stay warm during the cold winter season.
