New First

Bubsy: Welcome to this week’s blog session. A big first occurred this weekend for our parents. Before I reveal what happened for the FIRST time ever since they met…let me back up to Friday night. On Friday night mom went to an annual Christmas By Candlelight event at church.  

Sissy: Mom has basically done nothing but party this weekend. 

Bubsy: Friday night event was not a party. It was a mix and mingle with worship and a guest speaker. 

Sissy: Well mom was all dressed up like she was going to a party so hence my confusion. 

Bubsy: Sissy, you get confused a lot. 

Sissy: Yes I do. These parents of ours are extremely confusing. 😵‍💫

Bubsy: So sissy, in exactly one week our parents celebrate their wedding anniversary….12 years! And a new first happened for them yesterday. 

Sissy: They went to a party which doesn’t seem noteworthy.

Bubsy: Oh it was noteworthy, because it was the first time they have attended a Christmas party together for MOM’S work. They’ve attended Christmas parties at dad’s work back when he was working but mom worked long distance and never went to Christmas parties for her old line of work. And since becoming a teacher the Christmas parties have been staff only and have not included spouses. But last night mom and dad went to her work Christmas party that was open to spouses attending. Boy, was it a different feeling for dad. 

Sissy: Yep, he’s not used to being the non working spouse at a party that only his wife is known. He’s only used to mom being in those uncomfortable positions. 

Bubsy: Things are so flip flopped in our house. Mom is the breadwinner and has the work functions. She has another work function next Sunday. Which dad is not happy about, since it’s their anniversary and it’s also the day grandma arrives to town. 

Sissy: I think dad will end up staying home from that function but maybe grandma will accompany momma. 

Bubsy: I’d accompany her if I was allowed. 😉 So sissy, let’s wrap this up and go enjoy relaxing with mom before dinner and more football. Speaking of football, once again the Cowboys are on Monday Night Football. Hide your eyes tomorrow night, sissy.

Sissy: My blindfold is ready. 

Bubsy: Maybe I can borrow our older cat-sister’s hat as shown in the pic below. She has the right idea when watching a Cowboys game. 😂

Sissy: So as Bubs said, allow me to wrap this blog session up, below is a mixed bag of pics. Pics from mom’s event on Friday night and a pic of our cat-sister hiding her eyes from football. 🏈 🤣

Hello December

Bubsy: Well hello there, December! Our weather feels like December has been here for awhile. Am I right, sissy?

Sissy: You’re speaking the truth. 

Bubsy: Good news is…it’s going to warm up a little this week. But enough about our weather, it’s been fun having mom home for Thanksgiving break but back to work for her tomorrow. 😕 

Sissy: Well with mom back to work, I’ll finally get back to getting my extra naps in. Following mom around can be exhausting and I haven’t been getting proper rest. 

Bubsy: You poor little thing. 🙄…Since it’s December 1st…my countdown to Christmas has officially begun. Which means my countdown to grandma arriving has officially begun too. 

Sissy: Oh geez, you have too many things beginning today. Wait…wait…what did you say? Grandma is coming?

Bubsy: Yep, I’m speaking the truth. Grandma arrives in exactly 2 weeks. Two Sundays from now.

Sissy: And who authorized that?

Bubsy: I’m certain it was momma.

Sissy: And why didn’t she run it by me? 

Bubsy: I’m sure she didn’t think she needed to. Because she doesn’t need to. 

Sissy: I guess I need to send mom a memo, letting her know what my expectations are for houseguests. 

Bubsy: You do that, sissy. I’m sure mom is eager to read about your expectations. 🙄🤪…Sissy, you are crazy!  Anyway, let’s end this and get to watching the snow game that’s on TV right now. Since it’s December and it’s chilly here, tonight we are already in our Christmas pjs for our pic this week. Have a great week everyone! 

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃

 

Bubsy: There's definitely frost on the pumpkin here in the Fort. Happy Thanksgiving to all! 

Sissy: Gobble til you wobble. 

Bubsy: We hope you are enjoying a warmer turkey day than us. 

Sissy: We are setting records with these cold temps on Thanksgiving. Coldest Thanksgiving in decades. 🥶 

Bubsy: Cold with an icy wind. According to mom it’s the perfect chili and cornbread type of day…but I guess turkey remains on the menu since chili on Thanksgiving would be too weird. 🤣😉

Sissy: Mom has been baking and cooking literally all week. She even made a cake this morning…an experimental cake, so who knows how good that will be. 😉

Bubsy: So sissy, Thanksgiving is all about: food, fun, and football. Are you ready for some football? 🏈 

Sissy: I have my blindfold handy so I guess I’m ready for the Cowboys game.

Bubsy: Sissy, they won last week. And I’m predicting they will make it two in a row today. 

Sissy: That's a bold prediction, bro. I guess we shall see. Let’s wrap this up so we can get the real celebration going for today.

Bubsy: Everyone out there, have an amazing and tasty Thanksgiving day. 🦃….side note…this may be our only post for the week. We might take this Sunday off. 😀

Say What?

Bubsy: Breaking News…the Cowboys scored a touchdown today! FIRST TOUCHDOWN OF THE SEASON!!!!! Can you believe it, sissy?

Sissy: I missed it. I’ve started watching all games like this…🙈 

Bubsy: Only took 12 weeks of the NFL season to FINALLY get a touchdown. Mercy me! Mom and I have stopped wearing Cowboys gear, they are just that disappointing. ☹️ 

Sissy: Yeah, but we have to survive this season…and that’s been torture so far.

Bubsy: Well enough of all that, sissy. Our weekend has been filled with lots of phrases like: “huh?”, “say what?”, “what are you saying?”. Our mom has no voice. And dad can’t understand much of what she says. 😶

Sissy: And when she does try to talk, she sounds like a cartoon mouse. 🤣🤣🤣

Bubsy: Sissy’s right about that. 🐭 So yesterday after mom got all her chores around the house done sissy, mom, and yours truly binge watched cooking shows while dad was out of the house. 

Sissy: That’s more breaking news…dad actually left the house.🤣 He’s almost always home! We never get a break from him.😉 But yesterday dad went to a party and mom stayed home. Mom can’t eat foods at parties and she sounded like a cartoon mouse as we previously mentioned…so not much reason to go to the party. 

Bubsy: Mom’s been struggling a bit. She started getting sick on Thursday. Hopefully she can rest up enough today and have a good work week. Thankfully it’s a short week for her. Thanksgiving is coming fast. 

Sissy: I’m ready, especially since mom said she ordered a special treat for us to have on turkey day. 

Bubsy: I’m excited too. We will be going to our grandparents house. It will be lots of fun. 

Sissy: You will have fun. I will cling to mom the entire time. I do not cling to dad at get-togethers because he doesn’t baby me like mom does when we are at the grandparents house. 

Bubsy: Don’t worry, you’ll have fun too at the grandparents house. Now it’s time to wrap this up and go take a nap before mom takes us for our afternoon walk. Have a great Thanksgiving week everybody out there! 🦃

Bed Probs

Bubsy: Good evening sissy, I have good news and bad news.

Sissy: Hit me with the good news first.

Bubsy: The Cowboys play during primetime for the whole country to see on Monday Night Football.

Sissy: And now, what’s the bad news?

Bubsy: The Cowboys play during primetime for the whole country to see on Monday Night Football. Hide your eyes. 🙈 

Sissy: Don’t worry I’ll be online later seeing if I can get us a couple blindfolds to arrive before tomorrow night. We live near an Amazon warehouse so things get here super quick for us. 

Bubsy: Make sure you buy one for dad too! 😉😆 Seriously, the Cowboys are doomed tomorrow. The battle of Texas will be an easy fought one for the Texans. 

Sissy: Yep, very easy. Unless we are currently jinxing the Texans with this blog post. 😉🤪

Bubsy: Well let’s change gears. What else is going on in our world. You sure have been more disgruntled than usual. 

Sissy: I know. Mom got our cat-sister a new tunnel toy. And she’s gone crazy playing in that tunnel. Our parents think it’s the greatness thing that the cat is so lively all of a sudden. But I don’t! I don’t need her playing in that tunnel so loudly. 

Bubsy: Speaking of our cat-sister. Let’s tell the people what else happened to her this past week. 

Sissy: Oh no, not that story. 😬😒

Bubsy: Mom washed all of our beds one night last week after work, part of her billion chores she did that night. The cat’s pillow insert to her teepee bed came out of the dryer super big and puffy. Mom put it back in the teepee for the cat. A couple hours later we all heard a weird noise. Sounded like a rubbing/scratching noise that kept getting more and more rapid. Mom went to investigate and found our cat-sister STUCK in her teepee bed. The pillow insert had puffed up so much she got in the teepee but she couldn’t get out. 🤣🤣🤣 She was literally stuck in bed! Big time bed prob for her. 

Sissy: Next thing we witnessed was mom on one side of the teepee and dad on the other side of the teepee pulling to widen the opening of the teepee for the cat to get out. She finally did get out. Both of us looked on knowing the situation was one we would never be in since we are both so lean. 

Bubsy: Mom and dad later laughed about how the situation with our cat-sister reminded them of a fond memory of our older pug bro whom one time got stuck in a pop-up kitty cube.😂

Sissy: And I say again…something that will never happen to me. I’m too small to get stuck anywhere. 😉

Bubsy: Well sissy, it’s time to end this blog for the week and go get some dinner before Sunday Night Football. And our pic below is a STRONG hint to the Cowboys…believe us…you need us tomorrow night. Y’all barely have enough players to suit up, I’ll volunteer and so will sissy. She’ll terrify any opponent…believe me! 😉😬😂 Have a good week everyone out there! 

So Dazed

Bubsy: Welcome to Sunday late afternoon. How are you doing on this fine day, sissy? 

Sissy: Better question is…how are you? You were all out of sorts yesterday. Dazed, confused, and in pain. I almost felt sorry for you….almost! 😉 

Bubsy: My day started out well yesterday. Then I went to the vet. Now the vet visit went well. I’m a fine specimen of a healthy stud. And my adoring friends at the vet office were super happy to see me. 

Sissy: Wait, let me interject. My big bro is greeted with such fanfare at the vet office, it’s disgusting. Everyone comes out to see…and I quote the vet staff…”the loverboy”. 

Bubsy: What can I say, sissy? I have a good reputation at the vet office. I have a good reputation in general. Unlike you! 

Sissy: I don’t need that kind of reputation. I’m doing just fine with my warning label that is on me when I walk into the vet office. My warning label says “get back, she’s a feisty unpredictable little one”.

Bubsy: So my vet visit went well. It was the aftermath that wasn’t so great. I was super sore soon after getting home. I couldn’t even jump on the couch without whimpering in pain. I was also dazed and confused.😵‍💫 Finally, around 8:00 in the evening I started to perk up. My perk up was short lived and then I was on mom’s lap ready to be carried to bed by 9:15. 

Sissy: Well luckily you woke up feeling and looking practically normal.

Bubsy: That’s right, sissy. I shook off the badness of yesterday and I’m back to myself today. But man, that was a difficult reaction. I usually don’t get that sore. 

Sissy: Let’s change gears. Our pic below is in honor of the non holiday tomorrow. And I must say, bro…you don’t match in the pic. 

Bubsy: What are you talking about? I’m all camouflaged up! Got my Cowboys camo jersey on with my camo bow tie. I look like a stud! 😉

Sissy: You are so camouflaged we can hardly see you. 😆😆 Just kidding. 

Bubsy: So sissy, let’s wrap this up since the Cowboys are on. Time to watch the second half.

Sissy: Bro, read the headlines. The Cowboys are DONE! Dak is out for the rest of the season and the rest of the team is quite hobbled. Time to watch the Cowboys games like this….🫣…or like this…🙈

Bubsy: One can only hope the second string players can pull our season out of the gutter. But I’m not stupid….I realize it’s not likely. Anyway, have a good week and enjoy the non holiday tomorrow. 🇺🇸 We salute and thank all the veterans out there. 🫡 

Hello November

Bubsy: And just like that it’s November. We are back to being confused as we are dealing with the time changing and things happening at a different time than they happened yesterday.😵‍💫 Plus, mom and dad came home from Target today and said they saw plenty of Christmas stuff. Apparently Christmastime has arrived. Are you ready for Christmas, sissy?

Sissy: I’ve been composing my Christmas wish list, so I’m getting ready. Mom and dad agreed to put the tree up earlier than usual. Stay tuned we shall see just how early our Christmas tree arrives in our living room. 🌲 

Bubsy: Apparently this is a big week in America. We have no vote so we aren’t really too concerned about all the hoopla this week will bring.

Sissy: Wait, do we still live in America? I thought we lived in Texas?

Bubsy: Oh my gosh, SISSY! We live in Texas which is in America. Please look at a map. 

Sissy: I’m Generation Alpha…we don’t use maps. In my mind I’m just a Texan, and I don’t care about anything else. 

Bubsy: Well sissy, that is the general feeling for most Texans. So I guess you are not alone. Texans are all about TEXAS! 

Sissy: #texasstrong…as the bumper stickers and billboards say. 

Bubsy: Mother like dog daughter in this house. Our mom is more like a true Texan than ever before. She is soooooo out of the loop as to what is going on in the country. But she knows what’s going on in Texas. 😉 

Sissy: Does she? I’m not even sure she knows what’s going on in Texas. 

Bubsy: What else should we talk about, sissy? How about them Cowboys? 

Sissy: Oh geez, NO! 😡 The Cowboys at this point are competing for a high draft pick not a ticket to New Orleans. 

Bubsy: We are paying more attention to mom’s team at this point. Because you can likely put a fork in the cowboys…they are done. And Dak and Lamb were hobbled in today’s game. 😬

Sissy: Nothing but bad news surrounds the Cowboys. Good thing the Longhorns are doing good, otherwise, dad would be pulling his hair out. 🤪

Bubsy: Well let’s wrap this up. It’s time for the Sunday Night football game. Let’s go watch some more football with mom before her and I go to bed. 

Sissy: Have a good week! And if you don’t know who to vote for on Tues. Write my name in. I’ll make a great president. I’m very ornery and hard to deal with…perfect qualifications for the job. 😆😉
