Serious Business
Zoey was sitting on a stool at a counter in the kitchen and was doing the most important thing she could do this year. Christmas was coming and she had to write a letter to Santa. Otherwise she wouldn't get any Christmas presents this year. That would be bad. Very bad.

Mom gave her a pencil, some paper, a glass of milk and some cookies. She was all set.

Taking a deep breath and started her very important task.

	Zoey might see out of the corner of her eye the white tip of a tail. Zelbar is on the prowl. Griffen was a whole TEN minutes late feeding him this morning. Obviously Zelbar is wasting away here! (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Zoey looked down. "Zelbar!" She grabbed a cookie and offered it to him. "Just one." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	His tail wiggles. Which means because he is a beagle his whole body joins in as he trots on over for the cookie. Zoey may need a napkin once Zelbar is done saying thanks. Zelbar loves you treat giver! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Zoey climbed off the stool and hugged Zelbar once he was done ~~eating~~ inhaling the cookie. "What do you want for Christmas? Treats? Toys?" She giggled as Zelbar licked her face. "We should write a letter to Santa from you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Did she say treats? He barks and wiggles again. Oh how he would love them. They would be his and they would be tasty. Better than the crayon he found under the couch earlier. That wasn't really as tasty as the cookie. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You want a treat? Of course you do! Good puppy gets a treat!" Zoey went to the cabinet where Griffen kept the treats. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	madscienceman 2009-11-16 07:38 am UTC (link)
	Oh Zoey. Didn't anyone teach you to keep an eye on a dog? Zelbar smells something good in the trash while Zoey is busy. He goes to get it and sticks his snout in it right away. It's an old peanut butter jar. It has chunks! This is awesome! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	team_mascot 2009-11-16 07:39 am UTC (link)
	"Zelbar! No!" Zoey scolded the dog. "Here. Treat!" She pulled a biscuit out of the box. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	madscienceman 2009-11-16 07:42 am UTC (link)
	Oh his attention is split. Dog treat that smells like beef. Or peanut butter. Treat. Peanut butter. Why must he decide? This is his pain world! His greatest pain! Zoey will get big sad eyes now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	team_mascot 2009-11-16 07:43 am UTC (link)
	"Come Zelbar! Come here!" Zoey waved the treat. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	madscienceman 2009-11-16 07:55 am UTC (link)
	He pulls his nose out of the jar and licks his face off quickly. Then goes over to Zoey trying his best to look good. See? He is a good beagle! Zoey should let him have both the jar and the treat obviously. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	team_mascot 2009-11-16 07:56 am UTC (link)
	"Sit!" she commanded and held the treat up. "Sit Zelbar!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	madscienceman 2009-11-16 07:57 am UTC (link)
	Siggggh. Humans. Zelbar sits ad his tail just won't stop wagging. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	team_mascot 2009-11-16 07:59 am UTC (link)
	"Good boy!" Zoey said and gave him the treat. "Such a good puppy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	madscienceman 2009-11-16 08:01 am UTC (link)
	Zelbar will accept this bribe to be good! And steal Simon's socks again tomorrow morning. He also like stealing Griffen's too. He has to keep them on their toes! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Okay, Zelbar. I need to finish my letter to Santa or I won't get any presents this year. Then we can write your letter to Santa." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

That's when Griffen comes into the kitchen in search of caffeine. He blinks at Zoey then at the kitchen and his dog. Okay then obviously Zelbar was trying to get more food.

"How about I distract him with a ball then once you're done we can write it," Griffen offers after guessing what Zoey is doing only catching a fourth of the content.

"Zee and I will stay near the kitchen."

Zelbar perks up! Ohhh. Ball. He knows that word! It is a good word.

	"Okay! I'm going to write my letter and then write one for Zelbar." She grinned. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	madscienceman 2009-11-16 08:14 am UTC (link)
	Griffen nods. "Have fun Zoey." He coaxes Zelbar into ignoring cookies and the jar as he throws it out again. Then Griffen gets Zelbar to chase after a ball. Griffen follows after him humming a Christmas carol under his breath as he gets ready to play doggy distraction. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Bye Griffen!" she called after him and then climbed back up on her stool. (Reply to this)(Parent)

"I know, Bryn, but...." Syd sighed as she entered the kitchen. Her cell phone was to her ear and her sister's voice went on. "But Bryn, I don't need to go on a blind date. But...." Cut off again.

Syd smiled at Zoey when her daughter looked up from her letter writing. "Fine. I'll go. Happy now?" A pause. "Just let me know when and where. Bye."

Syd disconnected the call with a sigh.

	"Aunt Bryn?" Zoey asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2009-11-16 10:15 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes." Syd dropped a kiss on the top of her daughter's head. "She means well, but she's trying to set me up on a blind date. How's the letter writing going?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good! I'm almost done! I'm going to write one from Zelbar and Spencer too!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2009-11-16 10:19 pm UTC (link)
	Syd smiled. "Good. I'm sure they'd like presents from Santa." Syd dropped another kiss on the top of Zoey's head. "I'm going to help Sarah start dinner. If you need any help, let me know. Love you, Monkey." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	team_mascot 2009-11-16 10:19 pm UTC (link)
	"Love you, Mommy." Zoey immediately went back to the task at hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)
