The holiday season can be sort of a crazy time around my house. Presents to buy, parties to attend, all while trying to help my mom with the busy holiday rush at her shop. It can get pretty exhausting for everyone.
Don’t worry though, when it comes time to wrap all the holiday presents I’m always around to lend a helping paw.
Even if it means I have to work through my nap time.
Merry Christmas! 
You may recall my shopping trip a few weeks ago with mom and dad to pick out a new dishwasher for my kitchen. Well, fast forward to this past weekend and my dish washing replacement finally arrived!
According to mom and dad this is the year of the new kitchen……which by my best guess will take probably about a year to complete at the pace my parents go! But who’s rushing. And since the dishwasher has been leaking all over the floor I guess it was the very first thing to get the big boot.
While mom and dad seemed excited to have a new appliance (the first one ever!) I on the other hand found myself sulking that it was here.
Not only did it come with a whole new set of rules for me (no more standing on the dishwasher door to lick plates to name a few), but it didn’t even smell like anything great, like cookies, bacon, or peanut butter!
Dad got right to work installing the new dishwasher, while I looked on with distain.
The only real fun thing I can say about the new appliance is that the packaging made for a little entertainment. Although it would of been more fun if mom had let me shred it to bits!
Before my new dishwasher was completely installed I tried my hardest one last time to convince mom and dad that the only thing they needed for clean plates was me! Trust me, I can do the job better than any fancy dishwasher.
But alas, the thing got installed anyway. Sigh. I guess you win some and you lose some.
