Hello everyone! How are you? I’m okay. Yesterday was Thanksgiving for my friends and I from the USA. Mom, her parents, her sister and brother-in-law, Graham, and Oliver celebrated for Thanksgiving lunch. It was nice and quiet. After lunch, Mom, her sister, Oliver, and Graham went for a walk around the property. Graham loves going for walks.

Today (tomorrow when I’m writing this) is Black Friday. This year, Mom has to work both jobs. It won’t be too bad at the not-retail job, but it’s going to be pretty crazy at the retail job. I need to convince Mom to do her daily stuff and then go to bed. I hope you all have a great weekend!

Hello everyone! How are you? Mom and I are all right. Mom didn’t hurt herself this week (yet, she says) at the not-retail job, so we’re considering that a big win! I’m writing this on Wednesday because we have to drive Mom’s sister and the nephew home tomorrow!
We have been listening to audio books on the drive to and from the not-retail job lately. Have any of you listened to any? Mom has had a few audio books of her favorite titles for a while, but she recently started to use Audible and some of the audio books that she bought with the corresponding ebook. I picked out a book called Uncommon Carriers by John McPhee. It is a book about the transportation industry. I picked it because I like trains and ships. Next up is a Dutch language learning audio book that we picked out on Hoopla. It has music and spoken word, so I don’t know how I feel about that! Do any of you have any sites you go to for audio books? We’re thinking of going to Audible, but Mom thinks we ought to stick to the library and Hoopla.

Since I can’t post without a picture of something, we’re going to end this post with a picture of Oliver! He is currently sleeping at the end of the bed. Mom says we ought to join him asleep! Have a great week!

Hello everyone! How are you? I am okay. Mom pinched her finger in her embroidery machine today, so we are going to keep this entry a bit short. Her finger is all wrapped up, and it doesn’t hurt so much any more. She says it’s mostly just some funny colors!

I went inside to Mom’s work for two days this week. I hide in her backpack. I have her ipad, and I play all day long. I also take naps. She says I am very good moral support, even just from her backpack.

With the new temporary position, Mom gets out of work at 2. It gives her some Graham time on every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. In this picture, Graham, Mom, and Oliver were discussing the playing attributes of doggy kibble. Graham thought that dropping it on the ground made a great noise, and Oliver thought that picking it up after Graham was fun. (Mom was in charge of making sure that Graham didn’t put all of the doggy kibble on the ground!) Graham’s sweatshirt has teddy bears on it!
I hope next week’s entry is a bit less eventful! Hope you all have a great week!

Hello everyone! Mom’s not-retail job gave her a fidget spinner for Halloween!  She left it in the car so we could play with it while we wait for her.
Mom recorded a short video for her instagram page. I wanted to share it here so I could have a nifty video for this entry, but Mom can’t figure out a way to make Live Writer embed it properly. She uploaded it to YouTube too. Sigh.
Otherwise, things have been pretty quiet. We didn’t do anything for Halloween, which disappointed me some. Did any of you do anything for Halloween? We live out in the country—well, in a more rural area, and our driveway is pretty long. We haven’t had trick-or-treaters in a very long time. Mom says there aren’t any sidewalks to walk on, so it’s not very safe to come down our road. (There’s also a subdivision on the other side of the road. Mom says people probably go there.)

Since I couldn’t figure out a way to upload the video, here is a picture of Oliver instead! (Pictures of Oliver make Mom happy!) Talk to you next week!
