Pic(s) Of The Day - 01.11.15 - (fill in the blank)

Sunday, like Saturday, which was life Friday, which was like Thursday, well you get the picture was gloomy. Not only was it gloomy, it was wet!

Because I had a meeting in the afternoon, I knew that I would not be able to make the 5:00PM Mass at St. Anne Catholic Church so I woke up extra early, waited for the rain to subside, walked The Calvinator and then made it to the 7:00AM Mass at the Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart.

I was a bit surprised that the Nativity scene was still up and all of the Christmas decorations but hey, I'm not complaining.

And then there is this collage of photos.

The only way I could get The Calvinator to pose was to offer him treats. This is his new haircut.

Things didn't work out like I wanted them to on the the previous day. He had a scheduled appointment at Dirty Hairy for a 12:00PM grooming but when we arrived, he wasn't on the books and he couldn't be worked in. That's OK for people with flexible schedules but I'm not one of those people anymore. Plus, the place isn't that convenient anymore because of the move.

Needless to say, I wasn't not please with the situation and it's the second time something similar has happened to me at that establishment. So...we trotted our happy asses out of the establishment and I sat in the car trying to figure out what my next move would be. I then remembered that in The Calvinator's new 'hood, there is a Petsmart so I called and they were able to work him in.

I think he looks adorable but the reaction I received would tell me otherwise. He really didn't want to have anything to do with me when I picked him up and when we arrived at his crib. He really needed a trim because his bangs were so long, he walked into a wall one day and into a car one night. Regardless of what HE thinks, I think he looks muy guapo.

Calvin doesn't care to eat his kibbles without some moist food along with it; he is particular in that way. So, I mix Beneful with his Science Diet.

I went to Petco and they wanted $2.19 for one container. Knowing that HEB, Kroger and Petsmart are cheaper, I left Petco and went to Petsmart. Calvin is happy once again.

"Santa says, 'You've either been naughty or you've been nice.'"

Can't you just see Heidi Klum dressed as an elf working at Macy's saying that? And it would be followed by, "Let's bring out the checklist."

So today was the annual pilgrimage to Petsmat on Shepherd @ Alabama for Calvin to visit with Santa. It was obvious to Santa that Calvin had been naughty because as Calvin saw Santa he tried to bolt for the door. Once we were inside the room with Santa, he tried to make another run for it.

I picked up Calvin and he was giving Santa a look that said, "I'm not so sure about this."

He finally agreed to sit on Santa's lap. Just as the photographer clicked the shutter he looked away. The second time she said, "That was good!" and Calvin leaped out of Santa's arms and ran for the door.

I told them that he is a bit camera shy. They asked me why and I told them that he had some bad experiences with the paparazzi. They laughed. I was serious...not really.

Oh! And it was a Hispanic Santa.
