We're making a list and checking it twice

Yes, we're making a list and checking it twice BUTT it's not to see whose naughty or nice!

Grandpa Bob received the thumbs up from the Surgeon the other day so the list is for all the stuff Mommy needs to do so we can leave for sunny Florida.

She called a family meeting and said all hands and paws on deck. Shape up or ship out. Everybody needs to get their butts in gear and help out around here. There's a lot to be done now. You know what we all did after that meeting? We all went back to sitting down and doing nothing!



Oh now don't worry furends, Mommy is VERY organized and has a list on her computer that she prints out and just goes down the checklist. Stop the mail, start the mail, stop the phone, start the phone, stop the paper, start the paper, etc. Yes, it's a lot of work to leave your house for 6 months at a time butt Mommy is now a professional at it. It all get's done butt not without some HBO words tossed into the mix. Grandpa Bob and Daddy are what YOU would call "procrastinators." (Mommy calls them something else.) They will wait until Wednesday morning before they even start doing their list. It drives Mommy CRAZY! No wonder why she colors her hair.

Our house is in good hands while we're gone. Our Uncle Bobbo the PoPo keeps a tight eye on things here.

He carries a BIG gun, so don't nobody mess with him!

God willing and the creek don't rise, we will be starting our long drive on Thursday. I am NOT looking forward to going in the crate for 2 days.

Oh Muffin, wipe that smirk off your face! I'm miserable in here can't you help me escape?

Mommy said being in the crate is for our own safety. That doesn't mean I have to like it!

In the end, I know it's worth the trip because this is what we have to look forward to.....





Golf cart rides ROCK!

On another happy note, our crashed up van is all fixed now and looks fantastic!

Ok furends, gotta run now. Mommy is going to check her list and I'm going to help her. She let's no moss grow under her feet!

Hugs,
Lily Belle

  2. This is a bitter sweet post for us. We wish we could have gotten together while you were up north this year, but it has been a bit crazy for you all. We hope you get all your lists checked off and have a safe drive down to Florida.

    BTW Walter posted his comment late last night when he was watching late night TV so maybe that is why he was so funny and a bit crude. BOL!

  17. Make sure your peeps remember to pack up all your toys and treats to take back to Florida. I think your mom should add that to the list just to make sure she dont furget.

  18. Lily Belle & Muffin:

    Thursday to Florida! That's fantastic. You will survive the crate; I know it. Plus, it is so much safer in there.

    My mom says she needs a checklist like your mom's checklist. She has her lists all sorts of places. I told her a checklist is a very good idea.

    Safe travels, my furfriends, and so glad Grandpa is doing well.

    Love,
    Tootsie
