Happy New Year
I need to give you a December update. It was rather eventful, from a giant house fire on our way to the park on the 17th, through a trip to Rhode Island.
In the mean time here's a dog comic from PvP. I have some catching up to do.

Yummy, Stick
I threw up my stick on Friday and Saturday night. It really wasn't such a big deal and I would've cleaned it up myself, but for some reason Joe and Katie put my bedding away. They put down something different, and when I went to rearrange it, I couldn't find an edge. That was disappointing.
Oh, they also started using the halti on me. This one is different, and it's called a "Gentle Leader." Joe thought it might fit better. I thought not using one at all was working out fine.

"Grady is a Jesus Eater"
Yes, I ate the manger. Yes, I see that you see I ate the manger. Yes, I see that you are mad that I ate the manger. What exactly do you want me to do about it, Joe?
And, I resent the implication that I ate the baby Jesus. Not that I know what a baby Jesus is anyway, but I'm pretty sure I didn't eat it. Would you have been happier if I ate the baby Jesus? How was I supposed to know that Katie's comment "Grady is a Jesus Eater," and she sounded rather happy about it by the way, was a play on the song "Jesus was a Dreidel Spinner." I thought those were all unique songs for me. It's rather disappointing to find out that the whole repertoire of songs about you aren't really about you. You all left, and you moved that table with the manger on it out near the windows where I hang out. Of course, I'm going to check it out.
I don't particularly understand why you brought a tree in the house either. I try to bring a stick in the house and you won't let me, or you steal it away when I'm not looking, but you brought a whole tree in to the house!

Play Ball
People really have a shocking lack of agility.
I have a lot of things I could fill you in on; there was a party on Saturday and I had lots of visitors. One of the best was a little girl that walked around dropping nuts. I followed her everywhere. I don't have my cone any more, but I still have eye drops. The furniture upstairs got rearranged, so I'm trying out different places to sleep to see which I like best. Apparently, fabric angels aren't to be chewed on, and people really disapprove when they lose their heads. I'm also not supposed to play with the Grinch or the Grinch dog. Well, here's a hint, they feel a lot like my duck when I chew on them or carry them around, so how am I supposed to know they weren't for me. They were at eye level for goodness sake.
The music station they leave on for me is playing "holiday music" all the time now. Most of it is pretty good. A while back Katie had a new cell phone and some of the ring tones were a lot more interesting than this station, but that's okay. Every once in a while something is interesting, and the rest of the time I ignore it and sleep or hang out.

What?
I'm chewing, make that trying to chew, on rope and you walk by munching on a pizza.

Eye Drops
I'm really tired of the eye drops. At least I only get them twice a day now. There's something about having your eyelids pried open twice a day that is less than endearing. My eye is even feeling mostly all better now, so you'd think they would leave me alone.
Katie took me to the vet on Saturday, where they put stuff in my eyes and shone lights in them. Not fun. Then Katie took me to this other place where they put tethers around me and then ground my tone nails down with some sort of buzzing machine. Then Katie left me at home all day and who knows what she did. Joe was home from work all last week. I don't know where he went on Saturday though, because he didn't come back until Sunday, and I wish he was hanging out with me. Maybe he would have taken my cone off.

Cones
After the cone, came the eye drops. I really don't like eye drops. I don't like people sticking things in my eyes. They already feel bad, leave me alone. At least they aren't gooey any more. My left eye started to itch to, but not as much as my right eye had. Yesterday, they let me keep my cone off part of the day. Then Joe put my cone back on and left. When Katie came home, it got knocked off, and she didn't put it back on. She says I broke it. Oh, well. They finally took me back to the cemetery. Joe took me for a long time yesterday. That was good, I was getting very restless in my cone. You can hardly move. Everywhere you go the cone is knocking into something.
