Riley spent the night with us again. His Dad gave him a bath, so at least he smelled good and didn’t have any fleas. It was kinda strange…he mostly ignored me and Lucy. When he wasn’t watching for his Dad to come back, he followed Mommy around wagging his tail.
Mommy even made up a song about it. Bet you know the tune!
If you’re happy and you know it wag your tail. *thump thump*
If you’re happy and you know it wag your tail. *thump thump*
If you’re happy and you know it then your tail will surely show it, if you’re happy and you know it wag your tail. *thump thump*
Oh, and you’re welcome for the ear worm BOL!
Riley was all feet on-board when he heard we were going to walk around the neighborhood.
Later that evening I ended up on the grooming table. Mommy explained that we were getting company. She didn’t know that Lucy had already gotten a message from her BFF and her Boyfriend.
“Hi girlfriend! We’ve got great news. We’re coming to stay with you all weekend over the Thanksgiving holiday!
Auntie Jen and Uncle Bill are coming with them. But then the B.A.D. news hit! The peeps are all going away right after Thanksgiving Day until Monday – yes, for 87 days! Yes, yes, I know our sitter Christy will be here, but I want to go with Mommy. Maybe she could take just me! Yes, that’s it, just me. I’ll be really, really good, Mommy! I promise! Please don’t leave me here all by myself!
I’m Xena Schnauzer Warrior Princess, bravely fighting for the right to go with my Mommy.
Pee S. Happy Turkey Day

Lulu: “Oh no! That’s practically forever for your mama to be away! Were you able to convince her to take you with her? It’s like they said in that old Beastie Boys song, ‘You’ve got to FIGHT for your RIGHT to MAAAAMA!'”

Xena and Lucy,
Oh dear me the parental units are away and I bet dollars to doughnuts they did not get prior approval from either of you ladies. Revenge is on the horizon
Safe travels to the peeps

Think of it as a vacation and the time will pass more quickly because…(as everyone knows) vacations go by quickly. You guys look pawsome walking in tandem. Well done!

We’re VERY good walkers, Miss Monika! Mommy is even leaving our sitter instructions on how to use our harnesses. Dang, she even included a statement about not believing me when I tell her I walk without a harness or leash. XOX Xena

Riley on the sofa waiting and hoping that his dad will come has melted my heart! And I laughed myself silly Lucy and eggs Inna watching the turkey. I left this so you could see how the silly Google person that I talk to to type spelled Xena haha. What a fun fun fun fun time you’re going to have with five dogs in the house and the only thing I can say is I wish I were there so I can hug all of them and I would love to help the babysitter

Good luck, X. I am not feeling good feelings about you going along. Parents can be so stubborn, sometimes. Either way, I am sure you will do fine and have fun anyway.
