Sometimes we catch him with something in his mouth and he will trade it for a treat, but sometimes he tries to swallow it quick before we get a chance to pry his mouth open. His obedience to the "drop it" command is pretty sporadic. It reminds me of Elf eating gum off the subway railing. 🤢 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Servant4Christ Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) Sorry to drop in so sporadically. Busy busy around here. Thought you'd all get a kick out of Newbie wearing 2t PJs to bed tonight. Ran out of PJs and didn't have time to dry them before bedtime. They aren't even that big on him. Just a little long in the arms and legs. They're the stretchy long johns type. Goodnight all!

Susan in TN Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Good morning! Chester did not poop out any zippers or weird things this morning. Yesterday when dh was walking him in the park, they came across another goldendoodle just a couple months older and dh took a video of them playing together. So much happiness! 😊 I have to go to the store to buy some fresh vegetables and apples and a couple other things that I forgot the other day. It amazes me that I can have a check list right in front of my eyeballs and still forget to buy things. Dd11 is super excited to start cooking today. If I can get back home in time, I'd like to make those roast sweet potatoes and cranberries for lunch. Coffee! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikslo Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 So we were debating Turkey vs duck. DH came home with a turkey. Decision made. He also bought boxed scalloped potatoes, jarred gravy, canned cranberry sauce, and pre-made pie crusts. He says to make it easier on me. Either he doesn’t get Thanksgiving or he hates my cooking. 🤣 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got all wound up yesterday and wrote 10,000 words. I guess that means today I could just write 5000 and be good.

Susan in TN Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I made it back home alive! It was a little iffy there for a bit. Whole Foods, Lobby of Hobby, and Kroger. Madhouses, every one of them. But at least I found the things for Thanksgiving dinner and the Advent Calendar and a few little doodads for Dd22 & Roommates. I couldn't find any Walker's shortbread, but maybe I can get dd11 to bake some. I have to make a phone call and I don't wanna. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
