Day Two with Mom and Dad

 January 3, 2021

Nothing too exciting today.  We just got organized.  We made some split pea soup with leftover ham from Christmas - it was a combined effort of both mom and I.  Its nice that I have the stools in the kitchen at the Island so mom and dad can sit there and help with prepping or just talk while I fix a meal.  

The most challenging part of today was keeping Izzy, Benson and Axell out of each others business.  Ben wants to investigate what the heck Izzy has in that huge bed/cage of his at any chance the door is open and he can get in.  Axell just wants to smell this new little creature that looks like a squirrel and lives in his master's bedroom.  Fun fact for the day; Big or little all dogs will steel a bone that isn't theirs if they get the chance.  Big or little all dogs are afraid when faced with the aggression of another dog.

TV Remote 101: Not all TV remotes are created equally.  Learning the ups and downs of watching TV proved to be not to hard - on day one. We had a little lesson about what to touch and what not to touch.  My investment in  YouTubeTV seems to be a good choice so far.  Mom and dad watch what I call "regular tv" on a regular (all day long) basis.  So when I realized they would be bored off their "rockers" with only Netflix and Prime I decided I'd either get a cable package or something similar.  In walks Tate to save the day.  He signed me up for YouTubeTV and taught me how to use it.  At $62/mo it sure beats the over $200 Mediacom was going to charge me.  Now we can watch all the basic Chicago news stations as well as HGTV, cooking shows, CSI and on and on....
