The DFZ. Again.

 We are THE luckiest dogs.  Seriously.  Yesterday my human went to work and one of her patients in her Communication Group had a surprise for her.  A special surprise.  She baked dog cookies.  For ME!!!!  SWEET!  OK.  They weren’t JUST for me – they were for all of us.  Wasn’t that nice?!  And they are oh-so yummy!

It looks like the Christmas decorating might begin this weekend.  Which means the DFZ will once again become the DFZ.  For those who have read my blog since the early days – you will recall that the DFZ is the Dog Free Zone.  The living room.  The only room in the house where we canines are not allowed to enter.  But since I started this blog, my human has “relaxed” the rules for the DFZ.  In fact, when she is home and sitting in the DFZ, we are ALL allowed IN the room.  The rule for “no rowdiness” still stands – but we have even managed to get the “no sitting on the furniture”” rule lifted.  I KNEW we could do it.

But now, with the Christmas decorating explosion about to happen, I have a feeling the DFZ will once again be off limits. I have no idea why.  OK.  Maybe I do.  There was that small incident with the shredded Christmas ornament last year.  That little stuffed dog ornament.   After Frodo and I snuck into the DFZ.  And while I clearly appeared to be the culprit because I was caught standing close to the victim, I still say it was Frodo who did it. 

It’s about time that I start my Christmas list.  First on the list – a bigger dog food bowl.  There is NEVER enough room for all the food I COULD eat.  Poor Pax.  He eats his food and then runs off with his bowl – so we PONs won’t attempt to get any of his miniscule leftover bits.  I think he needs a bigger bowl too.

Anyway – I must go and supervise the decorating.  Enjoy your weekend.  I know I will!
