Nov.4, 2004, Hi My name is Sparky and I am writing mom�s story for her this month. Ya see mom is really going to be busy. Something about decorating for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I wonder if it�s that stuff I got into last year. She keeps going in an out of the storage closet in the family room! Boy did she scold me. I tried to tell her it was fun but she didn�t understand me. Any way, yesterday mom took me in the car with her to the bank and post office, then we went to the eye doctors and the drug store. The only place I get to go into is the bank. I get treats from all the tellers and this one nice lady that smells so good. They really like me there, and I like them!
When we got home, and mom parked the car in the driveway , she got all the packages and went into the house! Darn she forgot me and left me in my seat belt. But she came out real quick and got me out of the car and took me for a nice long walk down the block and around it. (Of course I marked my territory when I found out someone else had been there.) When we got home I was tired. Mom made lunch for us and I took a long nap. Of course when I got up I wanted to go outside and play and she let me! I have a great mom.
Nov.5, nothing new, did the same thing, played outside, tormented mom and of course she brushed me everynight. Now I have to look at my brush and it that doesn�t work I jump up on her lap and smack her in the face with my paw! She really thinks that�s cute. Humans are so responsive.
Nov.6, Mom went out and I had to watch the house she was gone for a long time and all I could figure that it was shopping day (I wonder if she is doing something called Christmas shopping?) and I was right. Boy did she go to a lot of places, I could smell that! She gave me a treat for being so good! The shopping bags sure smelled good!
Nov.7. Mom went to mass today and she didn�t get home her usual time, she had me worried. I did watch the house like she told me. I heard her car and met her at the door! Yep like I thought she went shopping again! This time I got a bone, a bone a new bone finally!. Then she took me for a walk! I know mom didn�t want to but she did anyway. We didn�t go as far as we usually do because that big white Shepherd was out and he won�t make friends
Nov. 8, Well home today and out side to play, heard mom say she was defrosting the freezer. It might be fun, I can steal a few things and make her holler �thief� then we play. Didn�t steal anything, stuff was too big for my mouth! Another dull day for me.
Nov.15. Well nothing new, mom�s been at it again. She really keeps me busy. On the 11th. She took me to Miss Cindy�s to get groomed. She said I had to look nice for the holidays! What a surprise I got. Miss Cindy is not working at that pet store anymore but from her house, no more critters to see. Mom said I looked
swell when she picked me up! Of course I had one of those sissy bandanas around my neck. Yuk!. Then we did nothing until Saturday when Mom baked a cheese cake, and get this she threw me the box and let me rip it up! Wow that was fun and then I got to taste the cake. I would love to lick the beaters! Mom went to church again and was late coming home! Well I knew exactly where she was, breakfast at the church hall. I know some of those smells and she went to get the turkey, she let me see it, bet it would have been fun to play with! Later on that day when it warmed up, Mom took me outside to help her clean up some branches and trim the lilac. Now all those pots of mums are by the house and they look like fun to steal but mom said �No� when I tried. Last night, we watched a good movie and I climbed up and sat on the back of the chair, I begged for some candy corn but she didn�t give an inch. Oh well , we�ll see what tomorrow brings.
Nov.17th. Well what a nice day this was! It got warm outside and while mom mopped the kitchen floor I got to stay outside and took a snooze on the deck in the sun! (course mom knew I�d chase the mop around and tear it). Then at lunch time I heard the sound of a familiar truck, it was Aunt Cathy and Uncle Joe. This was going to be a fun day. They played with me and feed me snacks and I had a good dinner. Then we were playing again. I was so tired when they left I fell asleep early and had to be awakened to go out side. Boy what a great day, sunshine, play, play and play. Now I need another nap.
Nov.21st, This writing stuff is really getting old, I don�t know how mom does it! Well yesterday they went shopping and I couldn�t go, mom said it was too dangerous for me. I had to guard the house. When she came home hours later, she did have some good stuff for me. I got a new squeaky toy that looks like a hot dog (which at this writing I have destroyed) and a candy cane shaped piece of pepperoni,. I made really short work of that pepperoni and then she took it away from me, drat! I also got some new marrow bones and I hid them all, I can find them but she can�t. Today mom went to church and came right home and went in on the computer saying something like �don�t bother me it is crunch time and next week will be worse. I have baking and dr and she went on well I am not writing anymore for her . I quit! I took my blanket out from under the desk and got my toys outta the computer room. Wonder if she�ll notice? Next time she says � Ok , fella lets go to work�hahaha�I ain�t goin.
Well I don't know what all this holiday stuff is about unless it means that Santa is leaving me presents again. I know I'll get a package from mom and Aunt Cathy and Uncle Joe and of course Ruth. Last year mom showed me how to open one present and then I was off and running. Got a lot of nice stuff, but shredding that paper was really fun! They took pictures and mom didn�t say a word about the mess I made.
Well have a Merry Christmas everyone and don�t look for me to ghost write for mom next month!
