Christmas morning began with a team pet effort to rearrange the ribbons and wrapping papers. These items were stored, rather haphazardly, on the bottom shelf of the linen closet. Curious Stan and Ollie opened the linen closet, pulled out ribbons, etc…and Lucy took over. Need a personal shredder? You can hire this team. Wish I had thought to take photos before the clean up…but here’s what it looks like when it’s almost done.
The Christmas wrap cleanup!
When I finished organizing….Lucy and I headed out to Manteca to celebrate Christmas with my family at Honara’s home. Lucy was beside herself with an 1 1/2 hour car trip…looking every which way to take in all the sights along the way.
There were already three dogs there when we arrived…Honara’s two pugs – Charlie and Lucy (yes, another Lucy)…and my sister’s family dog, Cody. They all played reasonably well…but Lucy, with her high energy level, did get some “time outs” into the back yard….when all the guests arrived the four dogs were sent to their separate spaces. In my Lucy’s case, she had the backyard and her crate…the weather was good.
About mid-day my nephew and I took Lucy for a walk in a large fenced area…she had a great time…as did we…and then I discovered that I lost my cell phone in that large park…and it was not to be found again. Ugh!
Lucy and I headed back home at the end of the day…she and I were both “pooped” and due to several phone searches…did not get home until early evening…rather than in time to join with Bill and his family for a second dinner. Lucy “crashed” and slept through until morning. I cracked up as her head nodded off and she brought her paw over eyes.
Began this post about the linen closet and will end with the coat closet in the same hallway. It has been very cold here and the thermostat on my heater went out a couple of days ago (to be replaced in a couple of hours)….the boy kittens found a new place to sleep last night. They also found the warmest spot in the house during the day. Here are the boys!
