The Christmas Monster and Grod

Published on by Xena and Lucy

Xena: Daddy and brother Adam put up a big thing that looks like a tree right in the house! Xena: Lucy was scared, but I wasn’t scared at all!

Lucy: It looked like a tree, but it didn’t smell like a tree. Then Mom put all these lights and other stuff on it, so it didn’t really even look like a tree any more. I still don’t know what it is.

Xena: So what did it look like, Lucy?

Lucy: *whispers* A giant monster.

Xena: Well, sitting in front of the monster got us treats, so it couldn’t be all bad. Am I right? Then Mommy found some fun stuff in the plastic  bins.This is the Christmas gorilla. I think I will name him Grod, like on our favorite Netflix show, The Flash. Only our Grod will be a nice ape.I promise I won’t hurt Grod, Mommy.  Can I keep  him? He’s my new friend, and I’m not afraid of him.

I am Xena Schnauzer Warrior Princess and Keeper of Grod.

I am Lucy and I’m staying in the other room away from the giant monster.

  1. Oh the camera is OK, I’m used to it. It was having to stay in front of the monster tree that had me freaked. I guess you’d better get used to the camera, ’cause if your mom is anything like my mom, it’s going to be pointed at you a lot! Love and wiggles, Lucy

  2. I had to come here to meet Grod and he is so cute as are the two of you in front of the monster tree. I can see dear Lucy, that you feel about the camera the same as I do. Love, Big Boy

  5. Charlee: “Whoo, we’ve seen a lot of these trees lately but that one looks really tall!”
    Chaplin: “Race you to the top, Charlee!”
    Charlee: “Well we can’t climb it, Chaplin. It’s not here. And the fact that you said that might have something to do with why we don’t have one.”
    Chaplin: “I have no idea what you mean.”
    Charlee: “Anyway, your new ape friend Grod looks very sweet, Xena! And Lucy, keeping a safe distance is always sensible. Just in case they’re Christmas trees like from that one episode of Doctor Who.”
    Chaplin: “Have you been watching Doctor Who without me?!”

    I’ve gotten used to the thing they call a Christmas Tree. The winkling lights are even kinda pretty. Thanks for the encouragement, my sweet kitty friend. *licks* Lucy

  11. I have decided the tree thingy isn’t going to hurt me, so you don’t need to worry about it either, Linus. I wouldn’t climb it if I was you, though. Your Lucy sure is brave! ~Lucy the dog

  12. Lucy, I totally understand wanting to stay away from the monster tree. My sister Kitty who shares your name climbs right up and sits in our monster tree and I don’t understand that at all. By the way the gorilla Santa is pretty cool. ~ Linus Kitty

  16. Don’t you wish you could run like the Flash, Rosy? Sometimes I pretend I AM the Flash when I am running with Lucy, but she usually catches me and rolls me in the yard. Xena

  22. You are very smart, L. Once the tree and the bins are up and out, it’s just a matter of time before you’re wearing antlers and strings of lights. Yes, it’s been done-to-death, but parents can’t stop themselves.

    Love and licks,

  23. Hello Miss Kismet. I think I will call you Kissie like Angel Lexi did. And no, I named my gorilla and she will remain Grod, but I will add another “:d” so she is Grodd. ~Xena

  25. Mom just read Jake’s story, Miss Sandra, and she is crying. She said to tell you that my story isn’t nearly at all as bad as Jake’s: I was healthy and well-fed. XOX Lucy Pee S. I’m glad you like our picture.

  27. Hi YAM-Auntie! Little warriors like me have to be brave, especially when our Mommies aren’t around to hold us. (I’m cuddled up in her lap right now like I do every morning. 🙂 )

    Yikes, that’s a mighty big tree – I can understand why it gave you heebie-jeebies Lucy! However, Xena, I am impressed with your courage around that thing and also with your adoption of Grod. He is rather a handsome fella! hugs and wags YAM-aunty xxx
