Woe is a chi...

Wow, do I have it made!!! On Tuesday, I wasn't feeling well, so I put on my sad Chihuahua face and turned down my peanut butter treat when Mamas tried to give it to me.

What I really wanted was to go to the spa to see Grandma and Grandpa. I spend so much time alone in the front part of the house and I have no one to play with. All I do is sleep. I have to wait till Papas comes home for lunch, plays with me and gives me my half of banana. So, I cooked up this scheme to get to see the grandparents.

Papas took me to the Spa in my bag with my new quilt and black and white blanket. As soon as Grandpa let me out of the bag, I ran to the table where Gram had my yogurt treats waiting for me. They know how to treat an "ailing" Chi.

They go away so often and stay away so long that I miss them. So, when I can spend time with them, I have a lot of fun. On Tuesday, Gram made me some steamed broccoli, which I love. And then she gave me my kibble. I snuggled next to her on the sofa while she crocheted a baby blanket for a baby shower. She is also knitting the scarf that goes with my new jewel-tone sweater. When I felt better, I got up and laid on my new quilt that she made me and fell asleep.

I have been having so much fun here. Gram and I read People Magazine together; we play and watch TV and old movies. She even gave me some of her homemade Weight Watcher's soup. It's delicious. I hope Mamas makes some.

Grandpa plays games and throws my toys around. He picks me up and pets and strokes me. It feels so good.

They are going back to Syracuse on Monday for ten days. I want to go with them, but Mamas said I can't go because I am a bad boy. I run out of the house and around the grounds. I have so much fun up there running around. Grandpa takes me for walks around the neighborhood and to visit Uncle Ron and Auntie Bev. But I have to wait here for them to come home.

I still have a few days left here at the spa. I am going to enjoy my time with Grandma and Grandpa. On Sunday we are going to celebrate Mother's Day and Grandma's Birthday. Papas is going to barbecue in the backyard and I am going to have fun running around.

This is really a good week for me. Whoopee!!!!
