Grandpa is going home from hospital in plenty of time for Christmas. It is such good news. He is fed up of being stuck in hospital. He\u2019s been there for over a month. He just can\u2019t wait to be back at home. He\u2019s amazing. Despite being 96 he\u2019s back up and walking and improving all the time. He is going to be one very happy grandpa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, Mum has been discussing the Christmas menu with us. Given it\u2019s only going to be Mum and the three of us, she says we could always do things a little differently. She\u2019s going to save the crackers until Dad comes home as quite honestly they\u2019re not our favourites. The turkey will be cooked ahead of Christmas day and she\u2019s asked what we think to having steak on the day itself. You can imagine what I said. Shadow said she\u2019d quite like turkey if that\u2019s ok as it\u2019s easier to chew and gentler on her stomach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I asked if the party games on Christmas Day could be more tailored to us dogs. We\u2019re not so hot with Trivial Pursuit but would love a game of fetch and maybe biscuit catch. At the moment there\u2019s snow forecast which would make it extra special. Mum says if there\u2019s snow we are definitely going out to build a snow dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It won\u2019t be nearly so much fun without Dad, but Mum has promised we can have another Christmas Day when Dad is home. I hope that means she\u2019ll order another turkey and buy us all a second set of presents. You know, I really don\u2019t buy the saying that you can have too much of a good thing. I think the person who came up with that had no imagination at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
