Yesterday was Tea Day. Momma hasn't had a Tea Day for Weeks now because she was Too Busy With Christmas and so was Everyone Else. But now Momma says Christmas is Officially Over because The Big Tree is Out In The Field. Daddy carried it Out Of The House and he said that Little Birds will build Nests in it. Well they could have left The Big Tree outside in the First Place instead of bringing it Into The House for Christmas.
I watched the Tea Ladies yesterday from my Bed in the Breakfast Room. Miss Cindy brought me Good Treats but I didn't get Out Of My Corner. There were just Too Many Ladies in the Kitchen and I think Miss Cindy knew that so she Brought The Treats to me and Put them in My Corner. I gobbled them up quick when the Ladies went into The Dining Room because Miss Cindy didn't tell me that I had to Share them with anybody else.
Momma usually puts Cakes and Cookies and Fruit and Cheese on the Dining Room Table when the Tea Ladies are here but they were Doing Crafts yesterday so Momma kept the Treats for the Ladies on the Kitchen Counter. The Tea Ladies were So Busy making Crystal Snowmen Ornaments that they Forgot about the Goodies in the Kitchen. I could smell the Chocolate Chip Cookies and the Pumpkin Bread and Miss Judy brought Fruit and Cheese and Miss Cindy brought Chocolate! and it was all Out There In The Kitchen and I could have just put my Front Paws On The Counter and Tasted Everything but I just Stayed In My Corner because the Only Thing Worse than getting Momma upset is getting a Whole Bunch of Tea Ladies Upset all at the Same Time. For next week's Tea Day Momma said she's going to Put The Cakes and Cookies and All The Goodies on the Buffet in the Dining Room so it will be Easier for the Ladies so I guess I Missed My Chance in that Kitchen.
Almost every Morning now when Daddy comes into the Kitchen for his Coffee he gets my Leash and tells me We're Going For A Walk Savannah. Daddy is Teaching me To Heel because he says Momma Lets Me Walk All Over The Place and I should Know By Now how to Walk In A Straight Line. Well how can Anybody walk in a Straight Line out there on That Road when there are So Many Different Smells every Morning. Momma says Heaven Only Knows What Has Been Out On That Road During The Night and Watch Where You Step Savannah Because A Coyote Has Pooped Right In That Grass.
Momma doesn't Know The Half Of What's Out There After Dark. I've smelled Raccoons and Dogs and Possums and Snakes and Cats and Armadillos and Wild Pigs and Deer and Skunks and Mice and Squirrels and Rabbits and even a Fox and a Bobcat. If Momma could Smell all those Animals out there she would Never Set Foot On That Road Again and then I'd be Stuck walking with Daddy all the time and I'd have to Walk In A Straight Line while Daddy says Heel Savannah Heel.
When Momma comes Downstairs in the Mornings after I've Walked With Daddy he will tell her Savannah Peed But She Didn't Poop Out There. So Momma puts her Coat on and then she puts my Leash on me and Off We Go for Another Walk and then I can Walk Wherever I Want To and Smell Everything and sometimes I poop Twice instead of Just Once and when we Get Back to the House Daddy asks Momma if I pooped and Momma says Yes She Sure Did Not Once But Twice.
Then Under Her Breath Momma says So Much For Your Straight Lines! but Daddy doesn't Hear that and I don't say a Word because I've learned that Sometimes it's Best to Just Keep Quiet.
