Getting a Bath!

Here I am in the big bath tub getting a bath, and My Lady's daughter-in-law V is giving it to me. When My Lady fell down on the slippery place a while ago, she really hurt her knees to say nothing of spraining her left thumb. Ugh! It has been a bad time here because she is creatively left-handed. So before the kids left, dear V gave all of us baths because she can kneel down by the tub. She was very gentle and did a really fine job. Hated to see her leave. My Lady though is slowly recovering and hopefully she will get the brace off her thumb soon. Do you know how wonderful it is to have a thumb? Well, when you have one and can't use it, it is awful! The doctor said she can start to take it off a bit now if she doesn't hurt it again. Well, that is easier said than done. We are managing but it is hard. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.

Saying Goodbye!

Hated seeing the boys leave but they do have to get back to school. I waved goodbye to them and will look forward to their coming again at the next vacation time. At least, they had such a good time that they are eager to come again as soon as possible. Now we are back to getting the place cleaned up, the trash from the wrappings and stuff tossed out, and everything back to normal. Will be taking the beautiful tree down, too. That is always a sad time, but we will be looking forward to the next fun time together. Well, I have to get all my toys back in the basket and get my things in order too for the New Year. Hope you all have a happy and blessed new year for 2009. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.

Two Fun Gifts!

Here were two of the most delightful gifts that the boys really loved. Each one got a space helmet and they put them on, walking around like two robots. They loved them. I am sure glad I didn't have to wear anything like that, but the boys wore them around for hours. They played all kinds of space games and enjoyed being robots walking around until it was time for dinner. Then they finally were willing to take them off and have dinner. What fun they had bumping into things and just being silly. These turned out to be real fun gifts for the two little boys. Well, they sure did have a wonderful time at grandma's house and are eager to come again. More about Christmas tomorrow. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.

Being Cuddled!

Here are Ashton, who is five, and Damien, who is three, sitting on their mother's lap and they are really cuddling me. I loved being the center of attention, and the boys are really thrilled to pet me and play with me all the time. They have learned to be very gentle with me because I am so small that often times children are not careful and hurt me. What fun it is, however, to have nice, darling children around to play with. They have really gotten to love me and are very careful with me. Some children are too rough, but these two boys are very caring and careful. We sure had a wonderful time together. This has been the best Christmas yet. You can see that we all had a great time together. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.

Best Gifts Under the Tree!

Here is a darling photo of my boys, Ashton and Damien, sitting under the Christmas tree ready to open presents. What wonderful fun we had together. Notice that Ashton has me cuddled in his arms. I was always someplace nearby. They got lots of presents and so did I. They arrived on Christmas Eve and we all went to bed early after they had such a long drive from Nashville. Christmas morning, however, the openings began and went on for a long time. We always do one at a time and each one gets one and then we go to the next round. It is wonderful because we really enjoy each one. Afterward, we had a lamb dinner with mashed potatoes and gravy which is our favorite and just gloried in a blessed Christmas Day. Hope your Christmas was good, too. Had to leave on Friday for the long drive home, but it was worth every minute. Show you more of the gifts tomorrow. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.

Oh, Christmas Tree!

Here is the beautiful Christmas tree! It is lovely and we have really enjoyed it. We have had a fantastic Christmas with the boys here, and their parents, of course, but I do like the boys. We had so much fun together. They had to go home, but we sure miss them. I will try to tell you about some of the great things we did together. Great Lady is still recooperating and not up to her usual duties, but I am glad she is back doing something! Can't believe how much depends on her. Hope we can do better now in this new year. More tomorrow. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.

Still Sick!

Boy, this has been a horrible bug. Great Lady is still sick, and could not even go to church today when Great Sir is preaching in place of the Pastor who went to visit his family. Of course, she was afraid she would cough through his sermon and that would NOT be good. Gabriel is feeling very bad about Great Lady. He always sits right next to her when she is here, but I heard that she was up coughing every hour during most of the night and sometimes coughed for two hours on occasion. She is exhausted but seems to be at the end of the illness now. Thank goodness. It has really laid her low now for several weeks. She still suffers from a sore throat, but I am sure that is from the coughing and so are the aching ribs. On and on it goes even with cough drops and things to drink and gargle. The salt water does pretty well though, and she is trying My Lady's treatment of hot tea, honey, and lemon juice this afternoon. She is anxious to go see Granddaughter V, her husband M, and darling Wyatt tomorrow. They will be moving to Maryland, and Great Lady will miss having them near in Florida; however, they should be closer to us here in St. Louis. We will see. Got to go look at a map. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.
