Daisy Gets a Christmas Card

Yes, Daisy got a Christmas card yesterday!
From my partner's Mom--

"Dear Daisy, Here are some playmates
until I return,  I shall bring goodies for
our snacks and 2nd breakfast.  Tell Kate
to take good care of you and love you
a lot.    Love, Granny Anne"


Daisy has never had a grandmother
before, and she loves it.  The joys of
a granny for Daisy include frequent
hand fed snacks.  If Anne eats, Daisy
eats.  After her last visit, Daisy is
absolutely insistant on having some
(only a little bit) lunch.

Daisy is so insistent on lunch that she
is not to be ignored.  I just can't scold
her for harassment--she has heart
disease--I can't fuss at her.  We
count each day she is with us as
a blessing. 

My niece has a dog that is as
personable as Daisy..  If you say
the "F" word, the dog takes off
and runs downstairs to the basement.
I am serious!  And this isn't the
cursing F but the casual F.  Bad
language isn't tolerated by her
dog.  Not at all.  Just as Daisy
complains that all bedclthothes
must be without wrinkles and I
am to lay very still or she will
get out of bed and stalk off.

My partner has been eating a
lot beans, and excreting noisy
gas.  He made the mistake
of doing such after picking up
Daisy who gave him a hard look
for such an offense.  Today he
picked her up, and she noise-
lessly returned the favor.  I've
been on the receiving end--
and seriously, I had to shower
and change clothes.  That bad.

All for now.
