One Would Think...

One would think it's Christmas around here with as excited as P is this morning! You see when we moved Rob decided that, due to my allergies and all the dog hair, both dogs would be outdoor dogs. Every night-or at least the nights that are cool enough-Ruby is allowed in to sleep in P's room. Although they're the Dynamic Duo and get into more trouble together than imaginable I feel more comfortable having Ruby downstairs to protect P. Well, for 2 nights P slept in his room without Ruby because she stunk so bad. Last night Rob promised to bathe her so she could sleep in his room. But when he took her collars off to give her a bath he noticed that her collars had not only rubbed her neck raw but infection had set in. We decided that it would be best for Ruby to stay in the house and keep the infection from getting worse until we can get her into the vet. So P woke up this morning, running around showing Ruby all his toys and where everything was downstairs. He then proceeded to tell me that he wanted a waffle for breakfast but that Ruby wanted pancakes. I informed him that he was welcome to a waffle but Ruby would be hard pressed to get me to make pancakes for her. After breakfast he asked if I'd put Ruby on the couch with him so they could watch Curious George together. When the answer was no again he asked if I'd give him water in a bowl like Ruby and put it next to her temporary water bowl. He's excited to see the "Doggy Hospital" but knows that once she gets better she will no longer be an indoor dog so it's bittersweet for him. Until that moment comes, he's enjoying every moment he can with his partner in crime!
