Currently there is a sunbeam in the kitchen and also one in the living room. I am going back and forth between them trying to figure out which is the best.

Gram is singing me some silly song about sunbeams from her childhood. I’m not sure who Jesus is, but apparently he wants her for a sunbeam.

I thought I heard a squirrel. Sadly it was just Pap doing squirrel imitations.

I know I’m very photogenic, but if you’re going to insist on taking my picture while I’m trying to sleep, you will need to pay the bellyrub tax!

A cat meowed on TV. I knew it was just on TV, or at least I thought it was until…Pap meowed back! Then I thought it might be in the living room, so I sounded the alarm.

That’s right-I barked at that cat!

Must have scared it away too because it didn’t meow again, and neither did Pap. Once again, I have protected this house.

The people had steak for supper, so Cow and I sat beside Pap in case he dropped something that needed to be cleaned up.

Well, that’s why I was there. Cow seemed to be protesting something. I’m not sure why he seemed so offended.

Gram has been doing exercises every evening to help her knee feel better. When she does them, I stay close by to coach, cheer her on, and generally provide moral support.

Also, sometimes she has a free hand. When that happens, I make sure she has a dog to pet. I am always happy to contribute to her wellbeing.

I sat by the door, but the people said it was too cold for me to go outside.

I had to settle for a sunbeam in the kitchen.

I have an announcement to make: Anyone leaving the living room this evening will be required to pay a belly rub tax. So far I have collected from both Pap and Gram.

I hope that they will be repeat taxpayers. I am insistent and persistent about collecting my taxes, just like an IRS agent, only better.

We have a million things we should be doing, but right now, Gram and I are sitting on the porch watching the sunset. It is the most important thing.

This morning, I sat in front of the door for a few minutes waiting for someone with thumbs to let me out for my morning porch sitting. When Pap finally opened the door, I was greeted by a blast of cold air.

I am part Chihuahua. My ancestors come from warm places. While my Rat Terrier side occasionally likes to dig through some snow, I am otherwise not a fan of the cold. Needless to say, I did not go outside. Porch sitting has been rescheduled for this afternoon

If anyone needs me, I will be on my chair with Gram, cuddled up under a blanket next to a heating pad.

While my collection may not seem as valuable to people as some of the silly things that they collect, it is very important to me.

Here I am guarding my very valuable yogurt container collection which I am displaying under the bed. I may start charging treats if people want to see it. I assure you it is fascinating

Gram is not allowed to touch it! I am adamant that the people leave my precious possessions alone. They are MINE!
