Hi guys! It’s me — Oscar the Beagle. I guess things are getting back to normal after the holidays. Grammy put the tree back outside.
Grammy and grandpy are back to their usual schedule after their trip to Virginia Beach.
Grandpy surprised me with that vacuum cleaner thing again. I was sitting in the kitchen looking out the back door when he started it up. He said I haven’t moved that fast in 5 years.
They’re both back to chasing us off the couch. We surprised them the other day when both Baxter and I were just getting comfortable while they cleaned up in the kitchen.
Hey! When they went away we learned to play. Or something like that. I just like the couch! It’s nice and comfy.
I’m kind of liking the weather we’ve been having, no snow yet. You probably don’t like driving in the snow but try going out to — well —- you know —- especially when you have short legs. Grammy usually shovels me a path and then a spot to use.
It hasn’t been too cold either. Baxter and I like the walks that we take unless the air is too windy. It’s tough when we go down to the beach if the wind is blowing. It makes my ears flop and grandpy starts calling me “Batdog.” I don’t really know what that means but I think he’s being silly again. Actually Grandpy doesn’t go with us much on walks. He goes to a gym or something where he walks on a treadmill. I don’t really understand that but it seems like he walks for a half an hour and gets nowhere.
He’s back to cooking every night and I’m happy to say that he’s still Klutzy. If it falls on the floor it’s mine. I think that’s a law or something. I don’t know what it is that he makes but it smells fantastic.
I especially like it when he cuts up the vegetables because he usually tosses a couple of pieces to me and Baxter. Baxter is better at catching because I was never really good at sports.
I’m just happy there’s no more diet here in the new year. By the way, what did we do with the old year? Did it go out on garbage day? Garbage day is when that big truck comes and eats everything in the barrel right? I should probably bark at those guys but they come really early and I like my sleep.
Grandpy always complains that Baxter and I hog the bed. It was nice when they went on vacation. We had the whole bed. Baxter and I like to sleep near each other and grandpy says he has no room for his legs. It’s not my fault that he’s 10 feet tall! To be honest, I don’t think he’s that tall but to me everybody’s huge!
Oh did I tell you what he did the other day? Grammy was working so grandpy was in charge of feeding us and stuff. He got up early one morning and went downstairs. Bax and I thought it was breakfast time, the most wonderful thing in the world next to dinner time! Well he went downstairs and let Baxter out, then me and then he went to the bathroom. Yeah, none of the humans go out by the tree like we do.
After he brought me in……he went back upstairs! He said something about it wasn’t time to get up yet, but come on! It’s morning, we got out of bed, we eat! That’s a thing like a law or something! I should call my congressman. Does anyone know a congressman? Does anyone have a phone I could use? Does anyone have fingers to dial it?
We survived and I went back to sleep with him. Breakfast finally came after what seemed like hours.
See what I have to put up with? I think I deserve the couch.
