Family Visits

So, to continue catching up ~

Topher and Veronica came to visit at the end of October, in honor of Veronica's birthday. On my birthday, I got a trip to the Madison Square Dog Park, which sounds fancy but is actually just a stolen tennis ball away from a rumble at any moment. But who am I to complain? I've been reminded repeatedly that I don't even contribute around here.

Anyway, it was pretty fun! My only problem was that I couldn't figure out where to sleep: with the here-all-the-time-so-this-is-where-I'm-comfortable-people or the I-only-get-to-see-you-once-in-awhile-people. Finally, Veronica solved the problem for me:

I was still up and down all night switching snugglers, but at least I knew I was welcome in either room.

On the first full day they were here, all the people went to the Jeff Koons exhibit at the Chateau. Imagine my surprise to find that Jeff Koons had created a larger than life sculpture of moi, fashioned to look like a balloon animal!

This is my kind of house... I wonder if they'd let the real thing move in...

I had never been able to figure out why all the tourists take my photo in the gardens.* Little did I know that I'm a celebrity in Versailles!

I'm off to have a big drink of water and a nap. Stay tuned!

* editor's note: It's true. The tourists take pictures of Dempsey. Not sure why, but he's definitely in a significant number of vacation photo collages
