I'm sorry I haven't updated this in a while, with Christmas and the start of my Radiology Tech program coming up I have been pretty busy.
JJ earned a submission to Dogshaming after eating Drew's favorite hat and peeing on the carpet 10 seconds after he came inside. Rori is learning that JJ is not as forgiving as Belle is and will react if hurt. She got snapped at a few days ago and although alarmed by it I wasn't mad at him and I don't think he is a threat to her. He was just telling Rori (in a very adamant way) that what she did hurt. Just so we don't look like terrible parents we did tell her to stop and what would happen if she didn't.
He and the rest of our pack also decided to take themselves for a walk. JJ and Beau came back on their own, My mother in law had to hunt Belle down. Belle also ate six packages of chocolate gelt wrapper and all and a Chunky bar! She wasn't sick from it and hasn't died but boy does she smell like something crawled up her butt and died.
JJ is also warming up to Drew though he refuses to sleep on our bed if Drew is in it. The newness of JJ has worn off for Rori and she has even said she wants a puppy instead of dogs. I told her that's too bad we are a family. We didn't get rid of her when she got bigger and we aren't going to do that to our pack they are for life.
We are getting ready for Christmas and this year my mother in law and I thought it would be nice to do family traditions we remember from when we were kids as well as the ones that my husband grew up with.
My mother in law is half Hungarian and she grew up with a lot of Eastern European foods and traditions. My mom is half German so we grew up with a lot of German traditions (even though my mom didn't celebrate holiday except Passover). So we are going to do a Christmas Eve breakfast with some of our favorite foods for those traditions. For me it's Latkes (potato pancakes) and Kugel (sweet noodle casserole with apples in it) that remind me of the holidays growing up. For my mother in law it is Beigli (traditional Hungarian nut or poppy seed roll), Kiffle (not sure exactly what this is but I'll find out soon enough), and Pashka (traditional Eastern Bread we aren't making until then I think). For me this will help Rori know more about her heritage as well as continue family traditions that have been practiced for years. We want to incorporate more than just traditional food but I need to do more research on the traditions of Hungary and pick which ones we want to use.
On that note Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, Happy Kwanza, and Happy Yule. Enjoy the season!
