Mischief Monday - Catching Up

 Dear pals,

We are back!

We had a jolly good time with the Man last week. He orders a lot of pizza while Lady is away. We really like pizza. He also doesn't get up as early, so that is great. 

While Lady was away, finally after 7 months the deck was 99% finished. It needs the railing for the stairs. If the temperatures were not around freezing, it would be safe for us to sit on.  Lady looks forward to spending a lot of time on it in 2024. Man does not look forward to having to keep it shovelled off. 

Phod didn't want to climb up with Lady

Lady was at a conference. She wasn't as cautious with her food, and must have picked up some gluten and she is not feeling 100%. Fortunately she didn't get sick with anything else. Some of you had been kind and told her to be careful with Covid. Well she is 99% sure she had it for the 3rd time at the end of September so is hopeful she doesn't get it or anything again.

Her big accomplishment while away was winning her first ever election. She wants you to all know, she is not cut out in any way for politics. Fortunately, she didn't have to campaign but sitting through the 2 hour meeting that ended with the results was torture. When her name was called, there was cheering in the room. Later when she was first publicly introduced in her new role, there was cheering.  Lady thinks everyone but her is cheering. She is now the secretary for the board of directors for a professional organization. It is a 2 year term.  She has told everyone to call her Madame Secretary. It is a volunteer position and likely going to take a lot of time, but she thinks once things get going, it will be fine. We are all very proud of her, even if she is not being overly proud of herself.

Lady's first order of business was to get herself the Board of Directors sticker for her name tag@

That is the big updates here.  We hope Lady's 10th work related title (it is something crazy like that) will not have a negative impact on our ability to be here with you all. 

Looking forward to catching up with all of you.

Mischief Monday - Weather and Break

Dear pals,

Look what happened not once but twice last week!

Snow! Don't worry, it didn't stay! The weather is now below freezing at night. Winter is coming.

Lady has started her prep. Her tires have been changed (oh and great news she will be getting new brakes soon) and Man's will be done soon. We are still waiting for our wood to be delivered. Callie's Man is stressing us out. The deck is still not finished. Apparently it will be this week. Lady feels like she has so much going on. She is ok. we are ok. 

Lady is traveling for work this week and is completely disorganized in life - something about being out all day Saturday . . . we have no sympathy for her because she made that choice and we were here alone. At any rate, we will be taking a short brake and hope to be back sometime next week.

Stay well dear friends!

Lee and Phod who are doing great! 

Nature Friday - More Dogs, Less Nature

 We have been very dissatisfied by the lack of our presence on Friday's post. We get that autumn is pretty and it goes quickly (the trees are bare now), but really - weeks and weeks with leaves as the stars?

So today, we are making us the stars. We will call this - dogs with leaves?

Now isn't that nicer?

Favourite Place To Sleep - by Phod

Dear pals,

You use to find me sleeping by the front door, or on a bed near my people. I especially liked a bed in Lady's office. However, over the spring and summer I found the perfect place to sleep, day or night. In my people's closet. Specifically, at the back under Man's sweaters. 

Because I was getting so much hair on Man's sweaters and clean ones were having to be re-washed, Lady moved the good ones up top and put some old clothes at the bottom.  Lady and Man have accepted this is my nap spot, as you can see, they have put a blanket in there for me to sleep on. 

It is dark and cosy, and very quiet. Lady and Man miss me because I am in the closet a lot, but I am happy there, so they leave me be.

Question: Do you have a favourite nap place?

Your friend, Handsome Phod
