TGIF From your Furry Friend Sabrina :)






Hi everyone I havent blogged for awhile because I have been busy looking out the window at all the birds and the bunny rabbits. They are all over my yard and I enjoy watching them. You know what happened to me a couple days ago my daddy was chasing me around the dining room table because he wanted me to wear a collor. He kept trying to get me but I was to fast for him. Mom couldnt stop laughing at us and my grandma to. So finally he got down on the floor with me and pretented he was gonna give me a backrub like my mommy does and he grabbed me and had grandpa hold me and finally got the blue collar on me. Its okay to wear but I keep trying to take it off. I wish that I didnt have to wear it but my daddy said that if I should of ever sneak out the door and get outside that they could find me. Mommy said that I need a microchip to but the vet told us no but mommy said that she would feel better if I had one anyways. Does any of my furry friends have to wear annoying collors.

Hugs
Sabrina

My parents left today

My parents left this morning we took them to the airport around 8:00 because their plane was gonna be leaving at 10:50am. They had a great time with us. They said that we were a lot fun. They enjoyed going to Italy with us and going on the Rhein Cruise and seeing the Hiedelburg Castle and going downtown shopping and just being with us. That made us feel good. We kept them busy the whole time they were here. I miss them and they have only been gone for almost a day. They also got to meet our Sabrina. She really liked my parents. Well as I am blogging this to all of you who read it my parents are waiting for their next plane in Montreal to go to NY at 330pm. We told my parents that we are gonna try and come home for Christmas since we havent saw our family since last June and we miss them all.

For desert we had Speggetti Ice






We took my parents to for Speggetti Ice Cream yesterday. Thats one of me and Chucks favorite icecreams to have here in Germany. So we wanted my parents to try them. They got theres split in half and me and Chuck shared one since it was really big. They enjoyed the icecream very much. Before we got the ice cream my mom asked me if it was really speggetti on top of icecream. I thought that was to funny. I explained to her what it was and she said oh okay.

Then we took a walk around the castle and saw the peacocks and the valley from the top of the hill. My parents really enjoyed there dinner there.:)

Our Roman adventure












We had a lot of fun on our trip to Rome we stayed there for 4 days. We saw so much and did a lot of neat things to. We stayed at a nice little bed and breakfast called the Jewish Ghetto. The couple that ran it were really nice and gave us breakfast every morning which was rolls and toast and juice to. Our first day began on Thursday Morning.

Thursday-we walked around the Jewish Ghetto and saw the oldest Christian Church in Rome. Then we walked around the Campo Di Fiori and we saw some the fruit markets and the little vendors on the side that had sun glasses and stuff. My mom got so excited when she saw the guy with the purses. She got a green purse for 20 Euros. She loves to buy purses. She was so happy with it. Then we went to the castle of San Angelo. That was neat but there was a lot of stairs in there. I was so happy that it didnt have 523 stairs like St Peters Dome last year. That wouldnt be good for me if there was. I do horrible at hiking up a lot of stairs. If anyone remembers my story about that last year. Then we went and saw the Fountain of Trevi which is really pretty. Theres a story about that if you throw a coin backwards your gonna come back to Rome again. Then we walked back to the Ghetto it was a long walk and we were all tired and grumpy but happy after we ate dinner . Then we went back to our rooms and relaxed and went to sleep because we were all tired.

Friday- morning we were up early again and had breakfast then we went to St Peters Basilica and The Vatican and then we had lunch at the cafeteria and did a little bit of shopping around that area and my mom and I got some suvineers for us and for other people to. Then we took a bus to The Hard Rock Cafe for dinner and that was so nice for us because it was air conditoned. After dinner and desert we took some pictures and walked to the bus to go back to our bed and breakfast. Well the only thing bad that happened was my dads digital camera was stolen from his bag. It was a crowded bus so we didnt even know until Saturday about that. We all felt bad for him.

Saturday- We went to the Spanish Stairs and the Catacombs and had speggetti in Campo De Fiori.

Today we came back and are all tired and just doing laundry and watching tv. We took my dad to the PX and he got a new Kodak Digital camera 3.2 and hes very happy with it. Hes gonna use it for the rest of our trip. Heres some of the pictures. I hope that you enjoy them.

Chow,
