Well, folks, my Grandpa just came into town late Saturday night and Freckles and I are trying to retrain his treat giving abilities (if you recall he was in town a few weeks ago but went back to the west coast for 10 days...long story).

Anyway, his recall skill is pretty good. I think he'll do fine. But with such cold weather outside Freckles isn't really ringing the bell to go outside to score us treats. And well, frankly, the flannel sheets are so warm and cozy, I'm not pestering him as much, either.

He's going into the hospital Monday morning for surgery and will be there for at least a week. So if Freckles and I aren't really on IP much, it's 'cause we're trying to jimmy the guest room door open to roll around and sniff Grandpa's stuff while he's gone (I'll probably be the one jimmying since I have better vision and extra toes). And we'll be busy snuggling in the flannel with mom and dad.

Smell ya later.
