wine, anyone?

The party was a HUGE success, I'm happy to report. There was a little bit of stress in the very beginning when Julia came over with Callie and Tucker. We'd put Tucker and Belly in the back yard and we must not have closed the gate very well because five seconds later they were out and Belly was running around exploring her new neighborhood. I know. Surprise, surprise. We got her back pretty quickly, but not before she had the lovely opportunity to roll in another animal's shit. Nice. So the party's about to start in twenty minutes, the cake isn't frosted yet, I'm clean and dressed and even wearing make up and now I have to bathe the beast. She got a half-assed bath, but she didn't stink anymore.

Kramer and Buddy were on their best behavior and Callie didn't leave Julia's side all night. It was Tucker and Belly who were the little nosey beasts. Belly figured out if she licked any food she automatically got to eat it, so she played that trick a few times. There was much alcohol imbibed by all, lots of laughter and ridiculous stories and an attempted robbery (doesn't that sound so dramatic?). My head's a wee bit aching this morning, but the shower and the breakfast helped. This afternoon I'm off to Christy's with Julie and Cherlyn to paint pottery.
