Norman

Remember how Tom and Laurie came over, Tom climbed up in our trees, cut all the dead branches and hauled them away as a thank-you for watching their dog over Christmas?

Here is Norman, their dog. He's a good boy but we aren't HIS people and he's looking a little pathetic. He likes to lay by the door and wait for them to come get him. We thought it would cheer him up to have a bottle o' wine... makes him look more festive anyway.

Norman gets one 2C scoop of food in the morning and at night. Well Furry Husband would feed him while I was doing something else... he glanced at the directions, not reading them very closely and ended up giving Norman TWO scoops of food! 4 cups and- twice the amount. When Norman would walk away cuz he was full, Furry Husband would call him back and cajole him into eating the rest...

Furry Husband called me at work to tell me his mistake cuz he saw the directions on the counter and I guess read them more closely. "You won't tell Laurie on me will you?"

Poor Norman - here we are force feeding him like a foie gras goose! Tom and Laurie get back late Monday night and will come get him Tuesday.... shhhhh! Don't tell Laurie that we stuffed her "little pumpkin" with all that food!
