Well, here I am again, asking your forgiveness for being such a lazy blogger.
I blame the whole thing on muzzer, of course.
And she says, she has been very busy.
I mean, she only has the store to run, me and Teka to walk, feed, bathe and brush (well, occasionally, when we let her.) Dad to feed and take care of, Aunt Marie to worry about, E.Beth to nag, and a few other things to do. That isn't much, compared to what some Moms do.

That isn't much, compared to what some Moms do.So this week, her big story has been....Called for Jury Duty!
Yesterday she had to go down to the Maricopa county court house and report for possible jury duty. Muzzer and Dad are big on Civic Responsibility, so she buckled her chin strap and headed on down. I thought it sounded like fun. Muzzer worried about what would happen to me, Teka, Dad, E.Beth, Aunt Marie, the store and all those other things.
Luckily, they did not pick her, but she had a pretty full day of getting lost, waiting around, schlepping miles to the jury room, and getting rejected (twice) for whatever reason. Probably because she is old, opinionated, mouthy, pushy, and a cross between a dictionary and Emily Post. Maybe because she was too short to see over the top of the jury box. And maybe because I wrote letters to all the judges and promised she would bake them cookies if they would let her come back to me right away. Who knows?
The result of all this busy-ness is that

The result of all this busy-ness is that 1. I need a bath
2. My valentines have not been sent out to my friends.
3. Dad has contracted a cold and needs extra care.
4. My birthday cake has not been baked or ordered.
But seriously, inspired by Wally's post today, I would appreciate it if my friends would not send me pressies but instead donate to their favorite doggy charity. If by some chance pressies are on the way, thank you very much. I will make the donations in your name to MY favorite charity.
I hope that muzzer is not so busy soon. I need some love and 'fection. I need my teethies brushed! And I need some rest!

Happy Valentine's day!

I would like to donate some time to your muzzer! What day is your burpday? I hear the best burpdays are in February!!
wally.
ps. My ma thinks maybe she should loan me out to your Es. My ma ape adopted me her last year of gradual school and my granny thought I was a stalling tactic but, as it turns out, I was a vital member of the Discombobulation Team!
Gussie,
Don't worry about anything! You are having a great time at my ski pawty!
Years ago, my mom was picked for a jury. It was a child abuse case. She love it. Not the child abuse, but being on a jury. It was interesting. The babysitter did it, but he didn't mean to.
They never called her back again. I wonder why.
Hope Dad is feeling better soon and your house is back to normal quickly. Now everybody knows just how important muzzer is. No more taking her for granted in your household. Hehe..
Love and Koobuss Kisses,
Koobie

Is your Dad feeling better ? Poor Muzzer....When Véronique is ill she is doing exactly the same things she does when she is not ill....but when it is dad who is ill....it is the end of the world....Is your Dad like this ????
Kisses, Faya
Hi there!
I hope all is well with you - no ski-ing accidents please.
Having a poorly Dad & a stressed Muzzer is quite enough. Hope both are soon on the mend.
With my sense of balance I'm only interested in the apre-ski! Do they do tea-total ones?
Jake & Just Harry say I should tell you to look behind the Blue door image, as I don't think you did yesterday!

Ooooo! Jury duty stinks! Our mom has never been called, but if she was, she says she'll tell them the voices in her head say the defendant is guilty. That should get her out of there in a hurry! She has been to the Maricopa county courthouse and says it's a miracle if you ever find the place where you are supposed to be!
Aire-hugs,
Poppy & Penny
When muzzers are off their schedules, everything goes to pot, doesn't it. Hope all returns to normal now and your Dad feels better. We need our routines to keep us happy. :)
