Birthday Week for 3 Grandchildren!

   January is an exciting month for birthdays for our 7 grandchildren.  This week especially, as 3 of them have birthdays.   Charlie's birthday was January 7th (Sunday) and we celebrated him with birthday cookies.  His gift from us was a black swivel armchair for his desk.  Tim made a work desk for both Charlie and Henry in their newly transformed room that they share. 

   Charlie was thrilled to get a new chair and asked Henry if he would like his old chair for his side of the desk.

  I thought that it was really kind of him to offer it to Henry since he didn't know that our gift to Henry for his birthday (4 days later) would also be the same identical desk chair.

Today is Saturday and our Canadian granddaughter Emma turns 17.  We are really missing her today but know she will be well celebrated by her friends and Becky and Danny.  Wish we could be a fly on the wall to view the festivities.  Happy Birthday to the Divine Miss Em.  I hear she is getting a new bed for her birthday.  

    Henry's birthday was Thursday and we celebrated with Mexican food from his favorite fast-food store and cookies with relighting candles. (The laugh was on Mom as she put the two candles in the cookie upside down and Henry was able to blow them out with one breath!) We all laughed about it.  Henry was very pleased to get his own new desk chair just like his brother's as well as a new bigger monitor from his parents.  Big brother Oz installed it for him on his new workstation/desk.  It's good to have a big brother who is tech-savvy.

    Henry shared a birthday with my mom, his great-grandmother who would have been 97 today.  Happy Heavenly Birthday Mom.

0re0' s Odyssey; day 3

Dear Grand pups, 

Hi, this is your old pal 0re0 the wonder dog.  Wow, this morning after breakfast Uncle Joe gave each of us dogs a Biscotti.   I have never had one before but I could get used to it very quickly.  I wonder if Diva and Poppa will start this tradition with me?  It sounds like a delightful way to start the day.  I wiggled my tail for all it was worth to make sure Uncle Joe noticed me too.  He laughed and told me I was a good boy before he gave me my treat.  I sure hope we can stay here for a long time.

Everybody left to go visit the great grandmother in the nursing home. They didn't invite me or my cousins to come.  I was sad cause  I like old people since I'm an old boy myself.  I  could look cute and cuddle up in great grandmother's lap to keep her nice and toasty warm if they had only asked. Instead, I took a long-overdue nap in my kennel.

It rained really hard today and I found out cousin Annie doesn't like lightning or loud noises like fireworks or gunshots.  Auntie Bobbie assured me that when the weather got better Annie would be her own sweet self again and she was.

Diva and Poppa let me run out of the ungated front yard to go potty. What freedom!  They never let me run loose in the city.  You know I came back for a treat. I sure am going to miss all this v.i.p. treatment when we go home.

Guess who got stung in the neck by a hornet?  Poor darling Diva, that's who. Poppa and Aunt Bobbie were so sorry but Diva was very brave and didn't cry.  I cuddled up with her and so did my cousin Tabby.  We looked cute and adorable to make her feel better.

After dinner Uncle Joe called us dogs over for cookies.  I hope we never leave!

Here are some pictures of our adventures.  See you tomorrow. Your old pal 0re0.
