Traitor Tuesday - The Beginning of the Holidays

We hope you all had a wonderful holiday season, celebrating whatever you celebrate, however you celebrate it. For the most part, we had a very low key holiday. Lady meant to get around to visit you all, but just was not at her computer and liked it as she often spends 10 hours a day on it for work. She is back into routine now - which really means she is on a chocolate detox because at the end of last week, she is sure she was 50% chocolate.

We are going to jump back to December 22. This was Lady and Man's last day at work for 2023.  Both went to the office. Man came home early and Mr. Phod had been rather ill and pooped all over the house. It took a long time to clean up and hours for the house to stop smelling. This continued all the night of the 22nd and into the midday of the 23rd. Lady was taking him out like every 2 hours. Lady and Man think he made himself sick by eating too much turkey poop (or maybe deer or cat poop). Other than needing to poop (or as Lady kindly noted, pee out his bum), he was eating and seemed fine. He moved to a rice diet and as they day went on, clearly was improving. 

The night of the 23rd, Phod was feeling better (we had made it a whole 5.5 hours between poops!) so Lady and Man felt confident going next door for the friends' Christmas party. As it was next door at Callie's house, they were able to come home every couple of hours to check on us. While Phod's tummy was now back to normal, we were not fine because we missed out on all the fun. If smelling them wasn't enough, we found some very incriminating pictures on Lady's phone. 

First, Lady and Man got to see Santa and his elf. Maybe we are glad we missed out on that because we may have escaped a hat tax with strangers. 

 

Man gave Callie a lot of love. 

Lady played with a cat. We think this is Cinder. This was taken before she scooped him up and made him love her. 

Lady played with Callie!

We really thought after that, Lady and Man should get some coal. They were big traitors. We don't see how adding us to a house with over 30 people, with many kids, and Lee trying to kill the cats wasn't a festive idea. We think we would have really brought some life to the party. 

The holidays weren't off to the best start. They got better. Come back Thursday to find out how.
