Mommy took me on vacation again! We went to visit her family again. The only bad thing was it was storming so hard when we were leaving that mommy had to drive suuuuuuuuuuuper slow. At least I was happy curled up in bed behind mommy's seat. At one point, I heard mommy say "Look Mika, it's snowing! Ok, not really snowing, but at least you can see the snowflakes in the sky for a little before it melts." Mommy was so excited, I don't know why. She said something about never really being in snow before.
We arrived at her family's house kind of late, but apparently earlier than Uncle TB. He came home really late. I did my shiba 500 in the house, went out back to respond to my p-mail, and finally curled up in mommy's room.
The next day, I woke up bright and early. It was still storming outside, but I love to play in the rain, so I ran around outside for a little bit before mommy called me back inside. Mommy and I relaxed at the house for the day until Uncle TB came home with a couple of friends. They played with me for a little bit. Then came DINNER!!!!! This is what I had for my dinner that night:
Kibble, rice, and baby bok choy. I ate every last bit of it, and then sat next to grandma to watch her eat. I wanted to make sure she didn't have to clean the floors if someone dropped anything. That was my way of thanking her for making the veggies for me.
The next day, mommy had an appointment, so mommy woke me up early, and had me wake up Uncle TB since he needed to drop her off. Mommy let me jump onto Uncle TB's bed and I went straight for his stinky face. It was in dire need of washing. While mommy was gone, I was at home with Uncle TB. I kept him company while he worked and studied. I made him take some breaks to liven up his routine: fetch breaks! Anyways, when everyone got home, I was waiting very patiently for my dinner:
Kibble, peking duck (without the sauce and bun), rice, and some veggies. I already knew what was for dinner because I smelled it when mommy brought it in the house!
The next day mommy got a massage, and I got a puppy massage out of it too! She got a two hand massage, and in between some of the work that was being done, I got my puppy massage. After I learned that one of mommy's friends has special hands with puppy massage, I kept going back to him for more. It was the most relaxing thing in the world! It beat mommy's puppy massage 10 folds! (Shh..! don't tell mommy I said that!) After that massage, mommy got ready and took me to her sister's house. I got to meet my brother, Pine. Pine is still a puppy, he just turned 1 in February. He was very hyper and loved to do things fast. Unfortunately, in the dog world, running up to another dog's face really fast doesn't always get you the best greeting. Pine ran up to my face and I gave him a warning growl. He paused and backed up giving me my room. As the day progressed, Pine learned from my growls that he can't just shove his face into another dog's face. By the end of the day, Pine was calm when he walked up to me and he even was able to lick my muzzle! I growled at him because I don't swing that way (but I was very proud that he was able to learn to be calm when he comes up to another dog). My name may suggest that I may be a girl, but I an 100% sure that I am a boy. Everyone was very proud of Pine that day, including myself. If a pup is willing to be taught, I will teach him. =)
Anyways, fast forward a couple of days, one night mommy was going to be home late so Uncle TB let me sleep in his room. Under his bed, there is an area to store extra bedding and comforters and stuff like that. Half of it was emptied out, and a cave was made for me. I looooooooove sleeping in there. (these pictures were taken before it was half emptied for me)
