Hello, all of our fan. I know that you’re wondering how we spent our Thanksgiving holiday, so we wanted to post this message to tell you all about the good time that we had. And (spoiler alert!) there was an incident that we'll comment on later on.
So, the vacation started out early on Wednesday morning as we all piled into mama's car before it was light outside. We both took a quick tour of the backyard, since we knew that we'd be cooped up for a while as we headed toward the Big Apple. It should be noted here that Izzi has been to NYC many times, but little Rozi made only one trip (without her sister!) but was excited to get back to the City. The weather was awful as we left our home: dark, rainy, and windy. We were both a little scared, but we knew that mama wanted us to be brave, and - besides - it would not have been a good idea to crawl up her back onto her shoulders (and maybe cover her face) while she was concentrating. Trucks whipped by us and we felt like we were in the middle of a tidal wave!
The weather started getting rough, the tiny car was tossed. If not for the courage of our fearless mom, our Honda would be lost. Our Honda would be lost. 
But, we digress.
Soon (but not too soon) the sun rose and even though the rain continued, mama told everyone that the driving was a little easier. We stopped at a Starbucks (of course!) to get drinks and for the two of us to stretch our legs (and - y'know - take care of the bathroom thing). Izzi was a good girl about it, but Rozi didn't do anything but walk around. So, when we got back in the car, mama told us that Izzi could stay free but Rozi was going to be put into her little portable blue apartment. Rozi cried for a while, then forgot why she was crying and went to sleep.
Before we knew it, New York City was on the horizon! It was a longer than usual ride, but we all made it safe and sound and we got to see Grammy! We were so excited to be out of the car that we ran around the room a few times. Well, Rozi ran around and also crawled on her belly. Izzi was more ladylike, wandering around and sniffing all the familiar smells. Since Rozi had never been to Grammy's before, this was all new. We went outside for a short walk on the dog path, but then were back inside to rest.
In the night time, people came over to visit, and Rozi finally met Rachel and see her mom, Elisa, again. And, we also met Rachel's friend Libby. Grammy had lots of friends for us to meet, and we behaved really well with all those new people. The best part for both of us was getting some yummy chicken that someone got us from Whole Foods (Izzi was happy that it was organic and raised cruelty-free; Rozi was happy she had food).
By the time everyone left, we were pretty tired. But, mama made us walk through the streets to our hotel, where we had a really big room to run around it. There was a small room just for us, but we never got to sleep in it or play in it (more about that later). When mama went out to get some ice cream, we were sad and we cried, but she came back with some and we got to have ice cream in our New York hotel room! What puppy doesn't dream of this? It was great!
Then, we went to sleep and when we woke up, we had to go to a new room that was even bigger that our room! And, it had a gigantic humongous enormous patio that we ran around and ran around. We're too little to be able to look over railings, but it seemed to us (from the air pressure; Izzi is very sensitive to such things) that we were 24 floors above the ground. And, since the weather was nice, we got to run and run until we were tired. When we were, we came inside, and pretty soon Grammy and Evan came to visit us. And, when they left, we got to meet another new friend: Josie! (Oh, and her daddy, Andrew, who wasn't as much fun or as cute as Josie.)
Josie fed us Cheerios and played with us, which was fun. Then, we walked back to Grammy's and stayed there for a while. Soon, it was time for a car ride and Josie and her dad took our mama and us to Thanksgiving at Ricky and Elisa and Rachel's. We had so much food and fun there! But - and here's the part that upset us - we were accused of being complainers and dog-centric (Izzi) and a jewel thief (Rozi). See the slanders about us below:
Well, fortunately for us, we didn't see any of this until the next day, so our fun wasn't dampened, not one bit. We ate and we ran around and we got taken for walks in the neighborhood and generally had a great time. It was Rozi's first Thanksgiving and she loved it! We met so many new people and Izzi got to say “hello” to some old friends. We met so many people that we even got tired of barking at everyone! Oh, and when Richard came in, he was surprised and wanted to know if there were two of us, or if he was seeing double!
We went back to our room afterwards and then it was time to start planning our trip back. We stayed at Grammy's for most of the day, and then in the night time we packed up and headed home. We were sad to leave New York, but we had such a good time that we weren't completely sad. We got home pretty quickly (mama is a good driver) and we got to smell our "home" smells and run around our rooms and jump on our couches and just have a great return to our house.
We're excited about our next visit to New York and can't wait to see everyone again. Except, of course, that guy who libeled us and who will soon be getting a visit from our legal counsel.
Arf, Yip, Yip, Arf,
Izzi & Rozi
