A whole extra day!

Hey, what's up, dogs?  It sure seems like we've had a lot of things to celebrate recently.  

Here's another one.  It's February 29th...Leap Year!  This only happens once every four years...a whole extra day in the calendar.   


Hey, Spunky, what are you going to do with your extra day?

"Gonna catch up on some reading," Spunky replied.
 

How about you, Patch?  What are you going to do with your extra day?
 
"....zzzzz...."

Ah.  Aha.  That's what he's going to do with his extra day.  Got it.  Moving on...


How about you, Grandpa?


"I think I'll brew meself a nice cup of tea and relax on the couch," Grandpa said.  "Care to join me, lad?"
Sure, Grandpa, as long as the tea is decaf.  I'll join you in a minute!

What do you plan to do with your extra day?...

2 ways to play

Hey, Spunky.  Hey, Grandpa.  What are you guys up to?

"Dominoes, me lad.  A nice, friendly game of dominoes."

Cool!  Who's winning?

"Too early to tell," Spunky said.  "Right now, it's a tie."

"I've never seen dominoes played that way before," Patch said.  

Oh really?  Is there another way to play?

"Sure," Patch nodded.  "You take a whole bunch of dominoes, and you stand them up next to each other, like this..."



Oooooh.  I think I know what you're talking about!

"...and you keep going, and going, and going..." Patch continued. 

"Hey, don't use up all the pieces, guys!" Spunky called.  "Grandpa and I have to finish our game, remember?"


Grandpa chuckled as he glanced in our direction.  "Patch and Droopy, me lads...whatever you do, don't sneeze!"

Happy Chinese New Year

Hey, what's up, dogs?  We are here today to wish you all a very Happy New Year!  Yes, yes, I know, we just had a New Year, but today is different--it's the Chinese New Year!  So we get to celebrate all over again.

Every year on Chinese New Year, Chinese families exchange traditional red envelopes that sometimes contain money or treats.  So, our human has given us each an envelope of our own.

Hey!  Spunky!  What are you doing?  Are you peeking?...

You might not want to do that.  Remember what happened last time you poked your head somewhere it didn't belong.

All right, everybody, on three, open your envelopes.  One...two...three!
Snacks!  Yum.  Anyway, have a happy Year of the Monkey, everyone...the next Year of the Dog is in 2018!

Till next time...
