Trip to the Spa

I just spent ten days with Grandma and Grandpa at the Spa. It was a great vacation and I don't want it to end.

I got fed gourmet meals and slept as much as I wanted. I got to keep Grandma company because the elevator was being fixed in her building and she could not go out.

She was busy making ponchos for ladies in Syracuse, and she made one for me, too. She was also doing Kumihimo, which is a Japanese braid used in ancient times by the Samurai to hold their swords. Today it is used by the Geishas to tie their obi around their kimonos. Se, I learn a lot when I am here!

Grandma is making jewelry with her cords and it looks great. I am trying to learn how to do it, but my paws are too big. I can't hold the cord.

Every morning I have my yogurt licks and a couple of pieces of banana. A couple of times, I got some cantaloupe. For dinner I had some steak, broccoli and boiled potatoes.

One night I had chicken soup. I wasn't feeling well and I didn't give Gram her morning kisses and nor eat my banana. She knew I wasn't feeling well, so she made me my own special chicken soup. She really spoils me.

Daddy and Mommy came for supper one night and they had shrimp. Mommy told Gram not to give me any even though I tried to beg!!! But it didn't work. It was great to see them both, but when they were leaving, I just wanted to stay with Gram and go to sleep on her pillow.

I have to go home today because Gram and The Big Guy are going back to Syracuse. My Mommy won't let me go because they are going to be gone too long. Maybe I can go when they go back in April. They won't be gone too long. I want to see Bailey and Daisy when they go out for their walks. I can see them from the window and bark at them.

My birthday is March 12th and Mommy is making me a party. I know she has lots of presents for me because she is opening boxes with my name on them. She won't let me see what's in them, but I know they're for MOI!!!

I have to go back to that nasty Nero and my sweet Pia. I know I will have to claim my house back from Nero. When I'm gone, he takes over with Mommy. But he doesn't take my place with Daddy. I'm still his buddy!!!

I know that Mommy misses me too and I won't have to work too hard to get back with her.

I am going to miss Gram and The Big Guy, but I can remember the good times I had for ten days while I was here. Thanks, Gram and Grandpa!
