Would you beieve we still have my daughter’s three dogs. Even though I miss my dogs from years gone by and miss their devoted love and attention, I am thoroughly convinced it’s a good thing we don’t have one in permanent residence. They are all cute, charming, loving and everything I miss in not having one as a loving and devoted companion, but I find I’m much happier just borrowing a pet if I feel lonely.
Whenever I prepare dinner, Ken is generally underfoot and now, in addition, the three dogs are right there with him. So it will be a relief when they are picked up — tonight. Oh happy night.
Ken and I are still recovering from Christmas colds and haven’t attempted to do much. Sleeping in has been good, but certainly not productive. I am grateful that, for the most part, Ken has been good. Although tonight, either Mr. Hyde or Buddy began to take Ken’s place after dinner. Not wanting a confrontation, I came into the office and locked the door as he was doing his “threat” of “closing down the house.” That means he wants everything off: lights, computers, TVs — everything. But even more, he wants me gone. His threat of “closing down the house” means he will make it so inconvenient for me to do anything I’ll give up and go home.
Office time — where I find it peaceful with him on the other side of the door. Eventually he forgets why he’s knocking at a closed door and rattling the knob with no response. He believes I’m gone so he settles down, becomes peaceful and content allowing Ken to return — tired and sleepy and, if all goes well, can be coaxed into bed.
Tomorrow I plan to take Ken to an afternoon movie (where he is always Ken) with my friend, Jayne, have a quick bite to eat, come home and be in bed fast asleep before midnight. So, if all goes well, HAPPY NEW YEAR — and again — HAPPY NIGHT — the three dogs will be gone.
