Christmas Tour of Homes 2010

Welcome to the Christmas Tour of Homes.
We wish you a joyful and blessed Christmas!
Grab your hot chocolate and come join us in our virtual open house.
For those of you visiting for the first time, I'm Sahsha. I'm a sweet lovable and sometimes ornery Shi-Tzu mix. I belong to Mummy and Daddy. I also entertain the new addition to the house, Drew. He's funny.. and he lets me have the leftovers of his squash and apples. He drops them on the floor for me all the time..

Okay, here we go:

Mummy had a little trouble with the wreath this year... after many attempts.. she decided to NOT do the wreath. It was too stressful.

Some of Mummy's favorite ornaments this year are: The cloisonne ornament Mimi got for us from China. The cute pear ornament Trudie gave us from the Caymans, the stained glass star handmade by Aunt Cindy long ago and this handmade angel made from dough given to Mummy by Elaine. The red hat and pink hat ornament from Trudie is another favorite.

Mummy decided to display the cards along the bar this year.

The nativity scene.

Another nativity scene (window clings).. a little battery operated candle illuminates it at night.. Mummy needs to replace the batteries but she hasn't gotten around to that yet.

And the reason why Christmas is extra special this year: Drew.

A merry merry Christmas to you and your family!

Get READY!!!

The Christmas Tour of Homes will be on Monday Dec 13th.

Spa day for me!

Hello everyone!!! It's Sahsha! I finally got my unruly hair cut! The girl at Petco did such a good job giving me my puppy cut! She even did my nails and brushed my teeth!!
Are there any pictures to show you?? NOOooo... Mummy is constantly taking pictures of Drew and forgets all about me.. Oh wait here's... nope that's my ear on the side of the picture.. sigh..
Mummy hasn't been able to get her hair cut lately.. she's thinking about cutting it herself!! OH Noooo!!! The last time she tried that was in high school and it was in a word.... AWFUL.. there are pictures to prove it!!!
I would find them and post them, but Mummy has them hidden.. in a safe deposit box.. in KENTUCKY!!!

Of all the toys!

The baby has tons of colorful toys that are safe and age appropriate. However, this baby likes to play with the remote, an old keyboard, and a coca cola box. Now, the baby has taken over one of MY toys. My beloved green ball. WHY OH WHY! It's my squeaky ball. The baby is so fast with his crawling that he gets to it before I do. I look to Mummy and Daddy for help but they took the green ball, put it in the dishwasher and now it's the baby's toy. The baby's got a new name this weekend: Soggy Bottom Boy. My name for him: the ball snatcher.

Peanut Butter Toes

Hi Everyone! It's Sahsha reporting from the depts of neglect. That baby thing is always so happy to see me. It's developed a curious new motion. It can move with its hands and knees. It tries to catch me but I'm too fast. Mummy put peanut butter on its toes the other day and tried to get me to like it. I was strong for a long time, I didn't let the temptation of the PB get me... but then... the smell.. ahh.. it was overpowering.. I got every last drop of PB and cleaned those feet good. The baby thing doesn't smell so bad. It's kinda cute when it laughs.

Giveaway!

Mummy wanted me to tell you about the following giveaway:

My life since the baby

Hey Everyone.. Sahsha here giving you the update from the Pendergrast Manor. Mummy brought home a baby.
....no more sleeping, no more walks, and no more playtime for me. I escape during the day to the guest bedroom and bark at the outside noise.
The baby, they call it Drew. They get amazed at anything he does. Anything he can do, I can do better. Mummy sometimes lets me out in the backyard and forgets about me for hours. I don't mind except when it gets really cold.
I got a spa day treatment for my birthday this month. At least they remembered my birthday. I hope this fascination with the baby doesn't last long. I wonder when everything will get back to normal.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hey Everyone! This is Sahsha, and I just wanted to tell everyone HAPPY NEW YEAR from the Pendergrast Manor!

I would post pictures, but Mummy went into a cleaning frenzy and burned ALL the years pictures onto a CD and deleted them off the computer.

The fireworks freaked me out for a couple days and I'm glad they are over now.

Mummy was obsessed with "Glee" for a couple weeks and watched last season on the computer and played a couple songs over and over again and danced around the kitchen while me and Daddy just looked at each other. She's already told us 7 times that she wants the first season on DVD for her birthday.. 7 times... I hope Daddy remembers. He didn't write it down on his post-it note that will eventually get lost..

See? What did I tell you? Mummy's little bowl of cards didn't last long at ALL!

But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.” – Luke 2:10-14

Weekend at Mimi's

Hey everyone! Sahsha here giving you an update from the Pendergrast Manor. Mummy and Daddy took me to Mississippi this past weekend to see Mimi and Pop-pop.
Highlights from the trip:
• I ate a sugar coated donut dropped by one of the twins. YUMMM!!
• The other twin fed me from his plate secretly until Mummy caught him!
• I sat on someone’s lap who came over to see Aunt Stacey.
• I helped Mummy play Yahtzee.
• I ate a bowl of Cheerios left on the kitchen table.
• Mummy locked me up in a room and forgot all about me after an unfortunate salt incident.
• Mummy left me outside to fend for myself against the evil cat, Ginger.
• I chased the neighbor’s dogs away and protected everyone from their yappy yap yap yappiness.

Adventures in Babysitting

It was my job to watch Shaela last night. She's the little dog next door. She just wanted to play play play play. When she didn't get her way she jumped in my face and I got mad at her. Daddy and Mummy were not very happy with me. They even locked me in the bathroom for a little while for misbehavin.

Mummy is carrying a little baby!

Mummy

Mummy sleeps all the time.
She doesn't run with me and play with me like before.
She gets really hungry really quickly and eats two bites and gives the rest to me.
She has to go potty a lot.
I don't know what is going on with Mummy.

Don't judge me...

Yesterday, Daddy was off and went to get a sausage biscuit from Chik-Fil-A for breakfast. It smelled sinful... ooohhh....weeee.. He left the whole thing opened just for me on the tray. I must have been very good for him to leave such a big treat for me... when Daddy came back inside... he was very angry when he saw all that was left of the sausage biscuit was the wrapper... It wasn't a treat, I wasn't good... oh... no... ran into my house and have stayed there since....
Moral of the story: eat as fast as you can, you never know when they'll come back... it's always worth every scumptious gulp. Don't judge me... I'm just a sweet little shih-tzu mix.....

Ramblings

Hi Everyone, sorry we have been out of touch for awhile.
You know how it goes:
You log onto the computer to update the blog, then you have find the pictures, then realize you never uploaded them. You plug in the camera, but something is not working and you have to retrace the thousands of cords to make sure everything is hooked up, then there’s a new message notification, you check email, reply to some, file other ones, delete all the zillion spam, remember that I had to mail that birthday card out, oh! Where’s the stamps, there they are! Where’s the address book? Oh maybe its in one of the 4 yahoo accounts I keep, no, it’s on that piece of paper, in that drawer in the kitchen… mercy! Look at this drawer! I need to reorganize it, I probably should clean up the kitchen too! Oh! It’s almost dinner time.. what to make? what to make? Hmm… While I think about it let me watch an episode of Saving Grace on my DVR. Fall asleep, it’s midnight. Wake up then remember that I had to update my blog, then brush my teeth and start all over again. The life of being a discombobulated freak!
