More Fun!

We all got up fairly early and went for a walk. Here we are with Dragon Hawke on the left, Gabriel on the right, and I am in the middle. This is the way we always walk, but today we have My Lady, Son J, and the boys behind us. We will be walking slower than when My Lady takes us out, but this is a stroll so the boys, Ashton and Damien, can go with us. We won't go too far this time, but we are having fun. We have some games to play and will have to watch some football since Clemson University is playing and that is the place where My Lady went to school and got a PhD. Of course, her husband, Gentle Sir went there, too, and so did Brother R, his wife O, and Great Sir and Great Lady. In fact, they all taught there, at about the same time. Their "blood runneth orange!" At least that is what I have heard. R and O got PhDs and Great Sir and Great Lady went to Clemson at a rather "old" age, getting master's degrees after they retired from their regular jobs. What a family! They always have fun together. Well, we are sure having a good time now, too. Will have more turkey today and can warm up the leftovers for another wonderful meal. Time to go inside. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.

Having a Great Time!

Well, we ate and ate until we were full yesterday. It was wonderful! I got some turkey and a little mashed potato and just a smidgen of gravy. Yummy! The boys sure enjoyed it immensely, too. They arrived late Wednesday night and right to bed, but Thursday was a terrific time. We called Great Lady and Great Sir and everyone got to talk to them. Ashton and Damien were so cute on the phone and their daddy, Son J, had a nice visit with his grandparents on the phone. It was such a nice day. The boys got to watch cartoons on TV and played with our toys. Then, in the evening, everyone ate again on the leftovers. Goodness, everyone was full and ready for an early night in bed. It had been a great day. Hope your Thanksgiving was worthy, too. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.

Smells So Good!

It sure does smell good in here! Gentle Sir got the big, twenty-three pound turkey stuffed with a special recipe that Great Lady taught My Lady and Gentle Sir to make, because he is really the chef and it takes a strong man to lift that big bird. The stuffing recipe was handed down from Great Lady's family over many years. They all really love it. Then Gentle Sir put the bird in the oven because it takes quite a few hours for it to cook. It is so exciting because Son J, his wife V, Ashton, who is five, and Damien who is three, arrived late last night after driving from Tennessee. They were really tired and slept late this morning, but I was up watching what was going on. Of course, My Lady peeled a load of potatoes to whip later, and had celery, carrots, radishes, and olives for the relish platter which is always served. She also got the cranberries with berries in it chilling and ready to serve later. It will be a glorious meal when it is done. I sure hope I get a little turkey and maybe a taste of the stuffing. We don't get a lot of table scraps and usually eat our own food, but on special occasions like this we sometimes get some of the goodies. Oh, it sure does smell wonderful. I can hardly wait! Hope you are having a good time, too. Have a blessed Thanksgiving. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.

Dragon Hawke Was Naughty!

Dragon Hawke was naughty today! My Lady was talking to Great Lady on the phone after taking us all out for our walk. All of a sudden, Dragon Hawke went over to the pretty glass vase full of red and gold Christmas ornaments that sits right next to the sansiveria plant there by the fire place, lifted his leg, and wet on the vase! My Lady was aghast! DRAGON HAWKE, NO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING! She was sitting right there on the sofa across from the fireplace and she saw him just go and do it! She even has a piddle pad in the bedroom in a corner just in case they are gone too long or there is an emergency for one of us, but this was just a case of showing his stubborn independence. Sometimes he can be very much of a willful wise guy who will just show off. It is one thing to be a puppy and not know what you are doing, but he is five and sure has been trained. He knows that it just was not a good thing to do. She had to Lysol and clean everything, and here we are expecting company tomorrow. She has worked to have the carpets cleaned and everything just right. Then, this! Well, he will be non gratia for a while. I am much younger, but I sure know better than that! Hope you have a nice Thanksgiving. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.

Our Balcony!

This is a picture of our balcony that I showed you when we moved into this apartment. Now, we are going to put up Christmas lights along the railing of this balcony which surrounds a very nice veranda porch. It is right off the living room with sliding doors so we can see it from inside and go out there easily. One day we are planning to have a couple of chairs and a grill for My Lady and Gentle Sir, but now it primarily belongs to us dogs. We can go out there, when the doors are open slightly, and it is wonderful when it is not too cold. I love the area and will enjoy seeing the lights on the rail. When you are out there, you can see a lot of the other apartments, too, as well as the people and dogs that pass by below, and really know what is going on in the complex. It will be great to see all the Christmas decorations that will be going up soon. Got to see what My Lady is doing to get ready for Thanksgiving. We are having company, you know! It is so very exciting. Anxious for the boys to come. We have fun together now. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.

Sunday Again!

Sunday again and we are home resting while My Lady and Gentle Sir are at church. It sure is a day of rest for us. I know Great Lady and Great Sir are busy in their church, too. Today is their day to put the Christmas tree up in church to be ready for Advent which I understand starts next Sunday. They will sure be busy now, but Great Lady always has time for me. I just let her know what I am thinking and doing, and she writes it off for you. I also hear that she is really involved getting the books redone and ready for publishing. It is amazing how many things have to be done to get a book just right, getting the start of each chapter on the odd pages as well as the title page, the table of contents all on the odd pages, and be sure that it ends on an even page. That is just one of the many rules that are involved. I hear that she has two books close to ready. Hoping for the one about the dogs will be ready for Christmas gifts. I sure want to receive one. More tomorrow. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.
