Hemingway, where have we been???  This computer is dusty and it’s obvious we haven’t been here for a long time.

Nowhere.  We’ve just been catching up on sleep.

Oh, that’s right.  Mom was on staycation for two weeks and that wore us out!

Sure did.  She kept interrupting our naps during the day.  I don’t like it when I can’t keep my routine the same.

Still, I kind of miss  seeing Mom around the house during the day.

I do too but she had to get back to work and make money so she can help Santa Paws get all those neat gifts for us.

She has to pay for them????

Well, I don’t understand all about it but she said she was getting some of the gifts.  Maybe what she meant was that she needed the money to buy my birthday gifts.  Remember, next Monday is my third birthday!!!

I can’t forget.  You mention it all the time.

Just like an orange fur person I know.  Seems to me when the calendar gets close to March you start telling everyone around that your birthday is coming.

Well, they don’t have pretty trees and fancy lights when my birthday comes so I figure it might be easier for humans to miss so I have to keep reminding them.

Let’s go see if we can find any of my birthday gifts hidden in the house.

Ok.  I sure hope you asked for treats ‘cuz I’m really good at finding them!
