Christmas lights, Cookie dough, long walks....

Cathy's been too busy to post lately. So we dogs thought we'd add our two cents. It's been a good but crazy week or so here at the Stanley-Erickson home. Cathy's been decorating that Christmas tree with her hundreds of lights. In other words, hours away from giving us attention. That's not the good part. The good part is that both Cathy and Jim have been baking. It happens about once a year, and this is the season. We like it, because we usually get to lick the beaters, the spoons, etc.. and occasionally Cathy drops pieces of cookie dough for us. (Don't worry.. for those of you who might freak out at "dog germs", Jim and Cathy put these dishes in the dishwasher.)

Then, Jim and Cathy feel so guilty for not spending a ton of time with us, and so they take us for long walks. All good. All very good. There's a gift under the tree with the tag "Entropy", and there was one for "Abby", but Abby began to tear it apart, sensing it was a dog toy.. So Cathy hid it, and now we have to wait until Christmas Eve to find out what it is. Bother. Oh well, it's still all good.

We're signing off, because we hear a rattle in the kitchen... it might be more food. We'd better check it out.

Abby & Entropy

p.s. we wrote this a couple of weeks ago, but Cathy's just now posting it.. she's hoping to post more soon.
