Meeting Uncle Parker and Penelope!

Note: our wonderful cousin Anna wrote our blog for today, because......  she's cool! I did make some edits (in parenthesis).


Ooohmygoshh! It was sooooooo fun today. I'm EXHAUSTED. Ok, so, today I woke up, and did my daily routine of trying to wake up my mom. When she finallyy woke up, I was totally wide awake and eager to begin the day. I ate my breakfast, (watched mom eat breakfast, get ready) and went into the car. Mom moved my cage to the trunk. Which was horrible, I repeat, HORRIBLE. After she lured me in with a treat, I was locked in (It's not that horrible! I drive a Rav4 - so its really NOT a trunk!!). 
 When we reached my cousin's house, which seemed like, FOREVERRR, I charged inside. My cousins love me and I love them, to. There was hugs and kisses- all for meee! Mommy was happy, too. They were excited to give my mom their Christmas cards to her. I sneaked a look and saw that the cards were totally seriously awesomeeee (the only gift i really ask from my little cousins are handmade christmas cards. they are so adorable!!!) ! Anywayss, I started investegating the house with my super duper nose. Soon, Mom made lunch (for the kiddos). Afterwards, we all packed into the car, but only the smallest two cousins, becuase the oldest one had to go to her friend's housse for homework. Well, she was dissapointed, and so was I.  First they did some shopping. And boy were there alot of people! Probably because there were lots of last minute Christmas shopping. I wasn't allowed to go to those stores, well, wasn't that dissapointing, they weren't pet shops anyways.
 
 It was about 2:30 by the time they finished. My mom and cousins went stright to Fort Funston, TO MEET MY UNCLE PARKER. Something weird happened when we were in the parking lot. So, my Mom was driving around looking for the closest spot there was, and up ahead was a car.. with the trunk open.. DRIVING AWAY! Woah woah woah. We watched in confusion as the car started backing out of the parking space. Suddenly, the dog jumped out of the trunk!!! My mom started honking to get the lady's attention, and so did some other lady. Thats when she realized that her trunk was open. She thanked us, herded her dog back into the car, and drove off (that was something.. so strange!!). 
 My mom took me out of the car finally and I ran out. I love Fort Funston! And the weather was the best today (its was pouring last week and today was the first time the sun came out in over two weeks i think!!) . Anna, the middle cousin, spotted Uncle Parker first. We ran over there, giving greetings, and smiles. Uncle Parker, on the other hand, looked.. EXACTLY LIKE ME. The only difference was that he had white fur on his neck, and I didn't. But besides that, and how small he was (uncle parker is about 27 lbs and I am near 35!!), no one can tell the difference. The adults blabbed on for a while amazed how similar we looked. Finally they moved. Uncle Parker and his sister, Penelope, were what I call ball crazy. People were all oohing about us, corgis, and I loved the attention(: . Then, we reached the beach- OHHYEAHHHH!!!!  It was Anna and Amy's first time going to the beach, because my mom doesn't always go there. Probably because theres this hill you have to climb down just to get there. Well Anna and Amy were freaked out. It was going down.. in sand! And the sand was wet because of the ocean? I don't know. Well, when everyone finally got down there, Uncle Parker and Penelope started chasing the ball again. I, on the other hand, ran over to the water, getting myself soaked. What can I say? It felt good! :D
 Well, we played on the beach for lets say.. two hours? About two hours. I was simply SO TIRED. Everyone eventually got tired and said it was getting late, so we started up the hill. When everyone was on top of the hill, we saw ANOTHER corgi! We talked for a while, and I was so tired that I just plopped down on the sand. We walked back to the parking lot, and said our goodbyes. It was sad, but on the brighter side, I am so glad I met my Uncle Parker and Auntie Penelope. When we got home Anna carried me into .. THE BATHTUB. OH NO. THE BATHTUB. NOO!! So, I had to take a bath. My cousins scrubbed soap on me this time, and Mom was the 'treat dispenser'. At least I got treats! 
 So the washed me and then I just rolled around all over the carpet, groomed my paws, and just rested. What a day! Tomorrow, I'm gonna sleepover at my cousins' house. ITS GOING TO BE MY FIRST CHRISTMAS AT THEIR HOUSE! Boy am I excited. So are they! Well, better get my paws off the keyboard. I need to get my rest for tomorrow! MERRY CHRISTMASS!!!!!! :D


(Thank you to Arlene, Perry, Parker and Penelope for the christmas present and a fabulous time today. We enjoyed every bit of it and hope to see you guys soon!) Merry Christmas!

Bailey and his uncle Parker hanging out and enjoying the view on the bench.

Bailey peeking from the "trunk" on our ride to the park. His soft sided crate has a top opening and i leave that unzipped so air can circulate. he's so funny. hahhahahaha he froze like that for 20 seconds trying to see what was going on

on our way down to the beach, waiting for penelope cause she stopped to take a poo. bailey is in the foreground, parker in the back - in case you cant tell!
