well, it looks like we're not going up to rob's parents for christmas after all. the plan was to have my mom take care of twinkie and buster, and ty look after karmel and chocolate, with us taking maddie since she's a bit much to ask anyone to handle (and we don't want to board her at this tender age). but tonight we learned two things - one) rob's mom has a cat, and two) said cat hates dogs.

rob's brother was planning to go home for the holidays too, but he wanted to bring his dog, and he was also unable to do so because of some cranky old cat.

so both of their sons can't be there for christmas because of a cat! i know that if it were my cat i'd give it a good talking to. or at the very least, have it set up camp in a spare room for a week. sheesh.

but that's just me. i'm the gal who puts up a baby gate to keep my mutts in the back of the house when my mom comes over since she's actually allergic to dogs.

and when tyson brought his dog wylie to visit, we set it up to where twinkie (my old cranky doggie) and wylie weren't in each others way.

rob's mom is really upset about the impending absence of her sons this christmas... but i'm just not understanding why she doesn't do something about it. i'm sure kitty can live without free roam of the entire house and yard for one week?!

but no matter! i'm actually really looking forward to staying in town this holiday season. *smiles* this will be the first time that we not only have room for a tree, but have room for guests! and i'm absolutely giddy thinking about decorations and lights, and oh oh oh. and least we forget... my fireplace is now burning bright! woo!

any thoughts? (2)����������������
