Great Lady Is Sick!

I have missed a few days because Great Lady has been very sick with a terrible cold, sore throat, and a cough that has worn her out! I am so very sorry. She came home from church Sunday afternoon, got in bed and has been there ever since. She finally got up today, but still is not good. Yesterday she coughed for three house straight. Horrible! There is some progress I am told. I don't often miss a post, but my amanuensis Great Lady was so sick that she just couldn't do much of anything but cough. We are expecting the boys from Nashville on Christmas Eve and are very excited about that. I guess I will just miss a couple of days on the blog but it is for good cause. Hard to type when you are coughing. This flue bug, and she did have her flue shot when she was supposed to have it, has really knocked out quite a few people in the church from the pastor on. Got through the cantata just fine, but then that was the end. Wanted you to know that I am fine and so are the boys. I am sad though. They have to leave today and go back to Nashville. Tell you more about our visit tomorrow. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.

Hiding Under My Santa Pillow!

Here I am with my head just sticking out from under my Santa pillow. You can even see Santa's hand and he is getting ready for Christmas Eve. I hope I get some good presents for Christmas. I work really hard and am generally a very good blogger. I try to be faithful to my posting, but some days I just so busy I have a hard time doing it. I was thrilled to hear that our book, and I call it our book, because my photo and the blog address is on the back of each copy, is being sold at Amazon.com and the EStore. It just got on Amazon.com and right away we had two books sold. It is exciting to wonder who bought those books. Great Lady and Great Sir were asked to sign some books they had gotten early for their grand children because they hope they will be able to take one to Italy where they are stationed and Iraq when they go since they are in the U. S. Air Force. Now that is exciting. Think of a book with my photo on it in Italy and Iraq. Another book will go to South Dakota where a grand daughter lives, so she will get a signed copy, too. Of course, My Lady's grandsons and her son and his wife will each get one signed and one will be sent to Daughter V when she moves to Maryland. Of course, I understand that people all over the world could actually buy a copy from Amazon.com. and be reading it. Wouldn't that be exciting? It is a nice story about a loving family and their dogs, especially a little girl who gets her first dog at a dog shelter, eventually have eleven dogs, and they tell about their many adventures. It is a dog lover's book. "Hear What Your Dog Says!" If you really connect with your dog, you probably can "hear" what he says and many dogs sure can "hear" you. I know that I hear and understand everything and even keep track of all this stuff so I can tell my amanuensis, and she can write this blog for you. Hope you will be hearing from me soon and reading the book. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.

Christmas Decoration!

Here is Dragon Hawke, the Papillion, sitting next to My Lady's pretty vase filled with shiny red and gold ornaments. It is really pretty and adds one more touch of Christmas sparkle to our home. With the lights on the balcony, the Christmas tree all decked out, the angels hanging around from the light fixture, the mantle, and on top of the tree, and we are almost ready for Christmas visitors now. I am sure My Lady will get some special treats for us and for the boys so we will be really ready for Ashton and Damien and some special food treats that their parents like, too. Oh, it will be such fun. I am not sure when they will arrive, but it will be soon...I think. Hope the special copies of "Hear What Your Dog Says!" will arrive from Amazon.com so the boys can get their special copies, too. My Lady will have to sign them later when her thumb is better, but at least they can see the books and maybe she will read some to them. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.

Lights Are on Tree!

I am all excited because the Christmas tree lights are all on and they look wonderful! Gentle Sir put them on the tree, and they are bright, twinkling red, green, white, yellow, and blue lights all over. They got new ones this year, and they are very pretty. Then My Lady tried to put the angel on top, she always has to have angels on everything, but she just was too short. So when Gentle Sir came home from work, he slipped her up there on the top with no problem. Now angels can be males, I know, like Gabriel and Michael, but they can be females, too, and this one sure looks like a very feminine angel. She is beautiful. My Lady has another one hanging from the mantle in the living room, and others all around our house, and even had a gorgeous angel on our Christmas cards, but this one is very definitely the one that goes on top of our tree. It will take a while to get all the ornaments on, but My Lady loves to do that. We will be ready for the boys, the grandchildren, who will be coming soon. More progress tomorrow. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie. Oh, yes, I almost forgot! Two copies of the "Hear What Your Dog Says!" our book has been purchased from Amazon.com! Imagine that! It is very thrilling to have someone buy the book My Lady and her folks have written and MY PHOTO is on the back cover along with this blog address! Hooray!

Out in the Snow!

Here I am ready to go out walking in the snow. I like my sweater, but I do NOT like the snow. It is so cold that I am frozen the first moment. My Lady has me all ready and is getting the other guys set for our walk. I go down the stairs, out the door, do my business in the first minutes and am ready to come back in. Dragon Hawke with all his fur would like to run and romp in the snow. He doesn't even need a coat, but boy am I cold. My paws are freezing and I want to go back inside. Ah! Thankfully, My Lady does not make me stay out long, and I am back inside and on the bed again. Whee! Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.

Dragon Hawke Admires the Tree!

Dragon Hawke is sitting here admiring the Christmas tree and thinks it is really nice. He is watching My Lady putting on the ornaments. Gentle Sir set the tree up and put the lights on it. Now My Lady has the fun of putting on the loads of ornaments. She will not have the Christmas Village up this year because space is needed for the air mattress which is a very nice cozy one for the two boys when they come for Christmas. That takes up quite a bit of room so the tables where the village stood is out for now. The tree is really starting to look pretty. I hope she will take a photo for you when she is done. I love sitting here on the back of the big chair watching. Hope your Christmas plans are going well, too. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.

We Have More Snow & Sleet!

Can you believe it? We had sleet night before last and then it snowed on top of that. You should see us going out now. My Lady tries to walk on the grass so she doesn't slip and fall again. It is really wicked out there. Gentle Sir couldn't even get to work the roads were so bad. This is the way it looks out side but under the snow this time is ice. Guess lots of people are having this kind of problem. I do rather envy Great Lady and Great Sir who like it in Florida way below Frostproof where they live. They are mowing grass, and it is up to 80 degrees in the afternoon. I would really like that. I am not too happy in the snow even with my sweater on, but I did have fun in it when the boys were here. Now it is just cold and wet. Oh, well, we are getting ready for Christmas so that is wonderful. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.
