For the first time on a holiday, we left Abby and Daisy at home when we went to my parents. It was raining and icky outside and I didn't want to take them in and out all day with muddy little paws.
I figured at least they had each other. I did miss them though. I rarely take them to my MIL's house, because there are a ton of people there and I'm afraid Abby would get stepped on. Abby doesn't like crowds. On the 23rd, when all our kids and grands were here, she was very nervous. I felt bad for her.
I'm sorry your Mom was bahhumbug about little Bella
