Terrier Tuesday -- The "Wait, What Day Is This?" Edition

Dear Readers,

Je m'excuse pour les désagréments! I'm sorry I almost forgot today was my blogging day. Things have been really crazy around here. As you know, mon amie Alpha went to Jamaica with David and Abigail for the holidays. I spent the time while they were away at my arrière-grand-mère's house. She spoiled me something awful. She also taught me to speak a little bit of French, which is quite something since she doesn't speak it herself. She also fell under my considerable charm and gave me lots of walks and lots of treats and spent a good deal of the week chasing down my boots which have a way of falling off if they are not put on quite right. I taught her the proper etiquette for sleeping with a Yorkie, taught her about my meal times, taught her that she should just be quiet and clean up my pee accidents on the carpet without speaking about it too much, and taught her how much I do not like to ride in the car. 

Overall, everything went well, but now that Alpha is back, we are all still somewhat discombobulated having to do with the fact that Alpha can't stop saying she just wants to get on a fawking plane and go back. It's possible, too, that all those bottles of rum cream she brought back might have something to do with the general state of disarray around here. She hasn't even fully unpacked her suitcase yet:

...and yet, we are packing again! Alpha and I are going to drive Abigail back to New York tomorrow afternoon. Alpha wanted me to tell you that she is planning on packing super-light, and she's blaming it all on me. She says that the airline (for our flight back home this weekend) makes her designate ME IN MY CARRY-BAG (and do I need to mention how much I do not like the carry-bag?) as the carry-on baggage [THE NERVE!], and she will have to check my crate and her little bag on the plane. So she's trying to pack everything for a few days' stay in the space of a shoebox, and again... she's BLAMING IT ALL ON ME. *sigh*

So she's ..... get ready for this... not {gulp} bringing her laptop.  !!!  I think she might have had too much rum. She's not thinking straight. Her without her laptop is like me without my .... well, without my rubber chicken. But anyway, this is all to say that there might be spotty blog reports for the next few days, but we shall do our best. We hope you will be understanding. I mean, nous espérons que vous comprendrez, s'il vous plaît.

Bisous,

Monsieur Jefferies

Mais bien sûr que tu es plus important que l'ordinateur, adorable petit chien! Nous regretterons mises á jour régulières d'Alpha, naturellement, mais il est bon pour l'âme de temps en temps que nous devrions souffir, n'est-ce pas?

(Thank you, Google translate!)

How humiliating to be considered baggage...

[Geri]

Poor Mr. J reduced to a carry-on. You deserve better than this. Sorry all my French left a long time ago!

Bonjour Monsieur Jeffries. Je parle francais, un petit peu, but I'll have to switch to English now. Je ne peux pas penser sur mes peids. Anyway, enjoy New York(ie) and tell Alpha I have the same suitcase - it's awesome. Ma petit pouvre chien was a carry-on from New Hampshire to Illinois, and was so good, as good as I bet you'll be.

Enjoy Monsieur Jeffries, and we'll see you when you return!

Sr. J,
Pienso que un viajadór como usted debe aprender más que uno or dos idiomas. ¡claro! Pueda ser que un dia viajará a Mexíco, por ejemplo, y aprenderá usted español.

Stupid airline -- don't they know Alpha can have one carry-on and one personal item? Which do you want to be, carry-on or personal item? Yeah, I thought so. You are SOOOO person-able :)

[Josiane]

Cher monsieur Jefferies,
Tu apprends vite! Ton français est très bon. Et ton accent? Tout à fait charmant! :)

[marianne]

Poor baby. :^( (You will have fun on the way and while you're there, buck up boyo!)
Rum Fudge?!?!? I SAW that! xoxox

This pretty much describes MY priorities when I travel, but my first thought was, "Where is she gonna put her knitting?"
