So mama and papa are gone... sniff sniff... I had truly wonderful days with them around. So much togetherness, so many things done together, so much accomplished around the flat, so much help,... so much of everything!! Thank you dearest mamasita & papasito for coming and for enduring endless hours of "home organizing", I loved it all! Please come back at anytime and I promise it won't be so busy, ok?
Mom and dad took off back to Rio and Joel and I to Houston, where our "nothing box" has been opened and is being thoroughly enjoyed, LOL! Christmas is two days away and either Americans in Houston are very organized and all Christmas shopping was done way in advance, or the world financial crises is still strong around here or everything here is really huge... because the expected crowded shops and streets is not happening... pure bliss!!
Talking about Christmas, let me tell you this absolute delicious story of Misty's (Alice and David's dog) loyalty.
Alice had a conference in London, therefore would be away from home for a couple of days. So David, took the opportunity to bring home her Christmas present that he had ordered in advance and was keeping in his office. After getting home with it, he did all the installation that it required, placed it back in its box and hid it under their bed.
Misty, very cute that she is, was just watching it all, following his steps around the house while he was doing all the job.
The following day, Alice arrived back from London and after all the "hellos, hugs, kisses and pats, Misty started barking upstairs. As she just wouldn't stop, Alice goes upstairs to check what is going on and finds Misty barking at their bed at the same time as her eyes were flipping back and forth between Alice, who according to Misty is the "pack leader" and their bed.
For Alice, it was a real "deja vu", as our recent past dogs, Candy, Siggy and Carlota often hid their toys or treats and later went back to the location and attracted us there with loads of barking.
So Alice, thinking that Misty was doing the same thing, bent down to look for Misty's toy/ treat only to find her own Christmas present under the bed! I loved the story, loved Misty's loyalty, loved it!
You see, that is just one of the reasons why I SO LOVE DOGS!! They are just phenomenal!!
