I did get the tree and many of the decorations out the weekend I brought everything upstairs.  I waited a week to decorate the tree however as I was waiting to see how the cat was going to behave.  Fortunately, he has been content to lay under the tree to this point.

The mayhem seems to be at a hum compared to where we were, but the doggo still has a ways to go.  Every day while I work I also work with him -- in and out of the crate for increasing durations.  The amount of drool has been reduced significantly but is still a factor.  He remains very interested in playing with the cat who acts like a little old man and wants to ignore him.  I do find it funny that Zero forced Church out of the dog bed, much like the he did to Saffy in recent months.  I caught a picture of the indignant look on the cat's face.

School was closed last week for 4 days thanks to a few folks testing positive.  This has left me feeling run ragged.  It was definitely a bad time with regard to work to step away so I was putting in time when I could and plopping the kiddo in front of her shows to keep her occupied.  She did a great job and we did put some learning videos in there, but I remain quite guilty.

We did get to relax over the weekend, going to the town Christmas celebration which is always lovely.  I wish we had gone both days -- there was so much we didn't get to do.  We did however get to see her buddy, whom she missed tremendously all week, and hang out at the parade.
