(Temporary) Cease Fire

Momma, Claire and Stew are heading to SoDak to visit Great Grandma Ginsbach, so Stew has about 7 hours of "stuff" to get completed within 4 hours. As usual, I've been tapped to assist (i.e., do all his chores while he watches The View... after watching Kelly Ripa first, of course). Therefore, in lieu of a tradtional post, I leave you with a picture of Claire attempting to crawl on her new Smart Mat (an oxymoron to those of us who know Uncle Mattie). And, speaking of relatives... Aunt Karen will be over tonite to dog-sit while we watch our dog movie marathon. I'm going to take a shower so she's not grossed out by my smell. It's the least I can do, and I always strive to do the absolute very least I can possibly do (except when I doo-doo, at which point I go all out).

In other news, the Kenmore has called for a cease fire so it can observe its holy holiday, Days of Defaeco. As we all know, defaeco is the Latin word meaning to cleanse, purify or purge. Apparently, this is a big deal for the Kenmore tribe of cleaning appliances. So, because I'm a humanitarian type dog, I've agreed to a temporary cease fire. But I'll be back with a vengeance soon enough. In the meantime, here's a photo of Claire dressed up like a little boy waiting for his lunch to be served. What can I say? She loves blue!
