Holiday Party Revisited

Monday, December 14th, 2009 | Beowulf, Gryffindor, Indigo

Well, it’s done. And Indy did pretty darn well. She had about 30 minutes of barkiness, and then settled in. I think it likely helped that a few of our dog-people friends were there, plus Vasey’s humans and our dog sitter extraordinaire. So she had people she knows. And with the exception of a few drunk people, people listened to my suggestions about handling her.

Gryffin and Beowulf got a lot of love, too. Actually, Gryffin got a fair amount of Irish Cream to drink and bean dip to eat. Beowulf was wearing his yarmulke, so he was quite the ladies man. But he’s getting old, and at about 10:30pm, he stopped circulating and plopped himself down on a dog bed by the couch, which likely worked out better than he planned.

All five of us were dead to the world the next day. We went out for breakfast in the morning (well, the dogs stayed home) and that was it. I believe that the three sleepy dogs sucked the energy out of the house. Period. There was none to be found anywhere.

Actually, I’m still sleepy now…
