Grandpa might be coming home!

Maggie on My Blog - Sun, November 18 2007

The latest word around the house is that my Grandpa might be coming home from the hospital in the next day or two. We've gotten stern talks from mom about behaving when he comes home. He's from the generation where dogs and other animals were animals, not part of the family. He might be staying with us for 6+ months.

You all know he's not crazy about pets. He's paranoid that we're fleabags and disease carriers. That's what he's read in the paper, and we all know that everything in the paper is accurate, right?? It didn't help the other day when my Aunt Susan told grandpa that Freckles had another UTI...now he's leery that she could get him sick. He's talked to mom about **gasp** getting rid of us when it's time for her to have babies!???? What???

Anyway, mom's thinking about putting us in doggie daycare for a few days a week so we can get out of grandpa's hair while he recovers. I like to bark at him everytime he makes a move in the house. He ends up staying in his bedroom with the door closed. Then he complains to mom that I don't do anything but whine at the door. I just want to snuggle with him. What's so wrong about that?

I can't think about this anymore. I'm going back under the covers. Smell ya later.

Poor little Maggie...your Grandpa coming home is both good news and somewhat not so good news....but think that he's from another generation/culture and probably doesn't feel all that good too. Although it'll be tough on you furkids, your mama is going through a lot of emotions right now....she loves you all, and is trying to do the best thing for you all. Give your mom lots of lovin's and tell her that you all are in our thoughts and prayers.

You be extra nice to your grandpa since he doesn't feel good. Maybe you could turn the volume down a little too. Be good girls and help mom and dad out. You'll get your time back when grandpa's feeling better. I think doggie daycare sounds like fun but I'm not supposed to get over exerted. Dayzee might want to go with you. Give your parents extra snuggles when you can because this is hard on them too. Sending tiny puppy kisses your way. Blitzen

Poor Maggie! You might enjoy going to daycare if you like other dogs. It would give your Grandpa a chance to come out of the bedroom every now and then. Try to be exceptionally good and quiet, so he can see that dogs are wonderful companions and not just PITAs.

If you weren't such a blabbermouth Maggot, he'd be fine with us. But Nooooo, you have to bark at every move he makes and then try to jump on his bed when he opens the door. Then when I come around the corner to see what's going on, he shoos both of us away and we get in trouble. You need to go to some anger management class or something. Or go live with Chase. I hear he might have an opening once the Wasset leaves.

Maggie, you must behave and let your grandpa get better. Don't worry, I'm sure your mommy wouldn't get rid of you if/when a baby comes. That's just a willing snuggler. They don't push you away. They're warm, too.
