Mom has been a little too busy lately to help me with my blog — and I have been helping her, of course! But I have been missing you all a lot! I am really excited to catch up on all my buddies’ blogs…it just might take a little while
So what have we been up to? Well, mom and dad went to this thing called a Gingerbread House party this weekend. Mom says it is not quite for real because everyone uses graham crackers instead of actual gingerbreads, but that just makes more time for decorating. I will show you what they made in a minute, but first I have to tell about the cool adventure I had while they were gone.
When mom and dad leave me alone I stay in my own special house. Mom gives me a tasty frozen Kong and a my favorite Nylabone. Then she turns on some This American Life podcasts, which I find very relaxing.
But this weekend mom forgot something very important. She forgot to latch the door on my house! I didn’t even realize it until my Kong rolled over and knocked the door open. Suddenly I had the whole house to myself with no parental supervision at all.
I cannot tell you exactly what I did; my kitties have sworn me to secrecy. But I can tell you the mom totally freaked out when I met her and dad at the door and then she gave me about a billion hugs and kisses when she realized that the kitties were alive, the furniture was unchewed, and no surprise messes were to be found in the house. In fact, I did not do one single naughty thing while they were gone! Okay, maybe I scratched the door a tiny bit when I heard their car outside, but I promise that was it. Mom kept telling me that I was a very, very good boy
So now that I have told you all about my home alone adventure, here is what mom and dad made:

I never met this pup before, but he sure looks wild and cute! How nice of mom and dad to make marzipan Remy a friend ![]()
Mom says marzipan Remy is almost as sweet as me…I hope she will not eat him! Maybe next year I can go to the party and make my own gingerbred house? I think it will look like this:

And now I have a lot of catching up to do!





WooWee Remy!! Great job on being so good and awesome while your parents were out!! Hehe, you probably just played with the kitties, like I do!
Glad to see you back!
Thanks, Goose! I’m not even sure why mom and dad were worried; I am always very good when they are home
So totally cool that you made them so happy. I mean, I konw how much mischief we can get into when left “Home Alone” but I bet you have just won yourself more freedom in the future. Love the gingerbread house they made, especially making a sweet you to be in the doggy gingerbread house.
Take care Remy
Bert
There are a lot of temptations around the house, aren’t there?
Wow, you have been busy! But how are you refraining from eating that yummy stuff?
Oink oink,
Katie and Coccolino the mini pig
It was really hard, trust me!
“Your ma is soooo creative and talented. That gingerbread house is amazing. Ma just made a boring old gingerbread-in-a-box one, but this is what I’m talking about. Totally dedicated to the dogs the way all gingerbread houses should be”-kirby
I had to comment on this. Remy looks so life-like and cute in cake form! I loved it! Best gingerbread house ever, me and Kirby vote! -Lea
Aw, you’re making mom blush
I think she has been way more talented since I joined the family!
WOWZERS Those are amazing and I bet the taste just as good as they look.
Blessings,
Goose
Thanks, Goose! I bet they taste yummy too, but I will never know for sure
Those are such great doggies!! I bets they’re yummy, too!! BOL Just kiddin’ Remy ~ don’t eat the marzipan doggies….not yet at least! I thinks you should wait until AFTER Christmas, then go for it!! hehehe..oh, I’m so bad…sorry.
Kisses,
Ruby
No no, Ruby, you’re not bad! I’ve been thinking the same thing
But mom says sugary treats are not so good for pups
First of all, that marzipan Remy is a dead ringer baby twin. That’s talent! Wow! Nice work on being good when you were home alone. That’s a big step. When Mom first tried leaving me out of my cage, I worked hard to be a good girl. I mostly watched out the window and slept in the couch. She peeked in the window to see if I was being naughty, and surprise! I was good every time. No more cage for me! Good luck, buddy. xo
Love and licks,
Cupcake
Thank you, Cupcake! I am glad you’re all done with your crate! I kind of like mine, but not as much as I like total freedom
We have missed you too pal! I am very proud of you and you sure did great on the unsupervised house pawty!
Thanks, Brian! I am glad mom has been helping with that impulse control business; it sure came in handy
You have some seriously talented parents!! I couldn’t ever hope to make anything that cool. Glad to see you back around.
Yeah, my mom and dad are pretty neat
But I bet could make a really cool gingerbread house too!
The ginger bread house is SO cute and creative! We love it
Merry Christmas!
Thanks, guys! Merry Christmas to you too!
That looks like a lovely house and you deserved to enjoy some after you’d left the kitties in one piece
I totally agree — unfortunately mom does not
Good boy Remy! Does this mean you are ready to have the run of the big house?
It should, right? I mean mom has been letting me hang out in the car on her errands now that it is nice and cool outside. I have not even taken a tiny lick of the tasty leather seats
But mom says she wants to wait until I am a little older before we make this home alone business a regular occurrence. So I will have to be patient…
That gingerbread house scene looks so cool! And good job being a good boy Remy. We have missed you too!
Thank you, Ann! I have recently realized that being a good pup can have a lot of advantages
Wow, your Mom is incredibly talented. I love those decorations and she even got your expression perfectly. And you, well, I am so proud that you behaved. Maybe now you’ll be allowed the whole run of the house every time they go out?
Oh gosh, mom is really blushing now!
I’m still in the crate for now, but this little adventure has gotten mom thinking about when she might let me be free all the time
Luckily mom is home most of the time, so I get a lot of freedom already!
Oh that is so cool. Look how clever your mum is. Fabulous. We think you deserve a big chunk of it for being so good around the house when Home Alone. Have a terrific Tuesday.
Best wishes Molly
Yes yes, I think so too! I can just imagine taking a big bite of that yummy dog house…
Remy, we’ve missed you too!
I love your parent’s gingerbread creation – amazing!
Thanks, Misaki! The wild pup is my favorite part
Wow, that’s some great house..You were good, when Mommy and Daddy went out
Wez having today off, so we will be playing catch up tomorrow
Have a great day Remy, it’z great to see you:) xx00xx
Mollie and Alfie
I hope you guys have a great day off! And I hope your router situation gets sorted out soon!
That’s an awesome ginger bread house, the witch from Hansel and Gretel would be jealous.
Very talented parents you have.
Uh oh…I hope those naughty house eating children will not be coming to our house!
Oh Remy what a pawsome gingerbread house/yard/pups your parents made! Very clever and VERY cool……it’s really yummy looking too – isn’t it just a little bit tempting to take a munch out of it????? By the way I like your holiday sweater – it looks purrrrrfect on you!
Holiday Hugs, Sammy (we missed you!)
So tempting, Sammy. So. Tempting. And mom put it in a place where I can just barely sniff it if I reach…torture!
I am glad you like my sweater! It is so warm; I just love it
Mom got me a few other new ones, so maybe I will have to do a fashion show soon. If only mom would stop being so busy with boring stuff!
Oh it looks so yummy – what a wonderful idea… I love the marzipan Remy – your have the best pawrents ever ;o)
Thanks, Easy! I am pretty lucky to have such a good family
I think mom is even more tempted to eat marzipan Remy than I am — she just Loves marzipan!
Remy!
me has missed yous!
It sure is begining to look like christmas at your house!
What a good dog you are! Purrhaps your Mommy and Daddy will leaves you out more often!
Kisses
Nellie
I hope so! At least they are thinking about it now
Hey Remy,
Great job on tidying up before the humans came home buddy!! Tee Hee
That gingerbread house is SO cool, especially cos it has you in it!!
Wags to all
Your pal Snoopy
Missed you too my friend
What did my kitties tell you?? I thought we had a deal! Those sneaky kitties!
Remy, we are so proud of you! You clearly are quite the gentleman! Well done!
That’s a beautiful-looking gingerbread house!
Woofs,
Tommy
Sometimes I even surprise myself! I guess I really am growing up
Mummy and me have missed you too,we love you ginger bread cake very pretty with the mimi you
Thank you, Speedy!
Oh Remy! You were such a good boy while your peeps were gone! That is such a cool house your peeps made too!
I suggested they make a life sized gingerbread dog house for me, but for some reason they just started laughing…
BOL!! I love that you are honest about what your house would look like! Hysterical!
Wow – you were SOOOO good I think you should get to eat THEIR gingerbread but not real gingerbread house! Or at least a house made out of steaks. Yes! That’s it!
Hmm, steaks or gingerbread? Hehe, no contest! Give me the steak house please!
Wow, good boy Remy for not hurting the cats or anything in the house. We are so proud of you. That is just terrific news. Those gingerbread houses look great. What a good job they did on them.
I don’t know why mom was so worried about the kitties! I mean, I run away from Them when they’ve had enough of my attempts to play. Those kitties are way tougher than I am!
The houses came out great. One time, not too long ago, Freighter met us at the door too. He was supposed to be in his crate but got out. I know exactly how your mom felt…lol. Freighter didn’t do anything bad either. I was happy about that.
Yay for Freighter! Us young pups obviously don’t get enough credit
I was happy to see you today! I missed you XOXOXO Now, why would your Mommy think you would misbehave? You are a Good Boy!
Aww, thank you, Spitty!
Mom feels kind of silly now for being so worried, but I guess since I never had so much freedom in the house before she just wasn’t sure if I would become wild with excitement and cause a lot of mischief. I like napping better than destroying…Way better
Please thank Remy for becoming a follower. Just wanted to ask a favor of him. Doggie Paddles is my business, would he mind following the following the link below instead?

I think my house would look like yours.
