AN UNFAVORITE THING? |
I don't think it was one of the reviewer's favorite things. SNL spoofed the new version of the play and social media has been as alive as the hills with opinions.
This week Liam has had his share of unfavorite things. There are holiday changes inside. There is a tree, pillows, a blanket, the snowman squeaker toy, and Charlotte, the Christmas doll.
THEY'RE BACK |
Liam's Unfavorite Things
A few...

1-SnowA few...

Liam has been through snow before. This week our first measurable snow fell and Liam gave it a swift perimeter run and then headed to the side gate indicating that he was over it. In honor of the Sound of Music we have prepared a video accompanied by sounds of holiday music.
2-Holiday Decorations
Cards, stockings. A lot more mail each day, which means a lot more opportunity for barking. Fed Ex, UPS, Mail Carrier come and go and all at different times of the day. Unfavorite things. Liam has been through Holiday season before. He knows the drill. It disrupts the daily routine. Liam perches looking for his doggie friends Wrigley, Twinkie and Piper. It seems this snowman follows him everywhere
Even when resting in front of his fireplace, snowman is there
3-Missing his playmates
I SEE WRIGLEY WILBUR |
I throw on my cold weather gear which is a lot and harness Liam up, (no, he did not dress himself) and we run down the block, zigzagging by, over and through the icy patches. No Wrigley in sight...we were not quick enough or it was not him.
Back to an unfavorite thing, waiting and hoping and looking.
MAYBE HE'LL COME OUT LATER |
What to do? Liam moves on from his unfavorite things by forgetting them. Dogs do that. Snowman joins him. He's got his friend. He rests his head on his "Liam" photo pillow and snuggles into a "dreaming" dog decorated blanket. Not so bad. Simply forgetting his unfavorite things...
He has a few latte licks, see video...There is always another latte to be licked, a dog to play with, the snow will melt...
We like the new version of the Sound of Music. It is fun, the flaws enhance the entertainment and there are some fine moments. If you have read this far. you might have the "My favorite things" song in your head. Here it is, the Long Island version, Carrie and Audra
there are mentions of a dog bite and snow flakes...appropriate for the season and for the dog

SIMPLY FORGET THE UNFAVORITE THINGS, EVERYTHING SEEMS NOT SO BAD |
Woof, Woof
