So long as they thought Snowy was visiting, BuddhaBubba and Carm were fine with playing with him and having fun. As the reality has sunk in that he’s not leaving, they have grown less amused. Since they are 9 and 11 and he’s 2 or 3, the energy level in the house has been raised quite a bit. BB and Carm’s response to that is to get on their pillow beds scattered throughout the house and watch with only slightly veiled disdain as Snowy bounds happily about shaking squeaky toys in his mouth. So long as he doesn’t touch Santa, Carm doesn’t care. As for BB, she clearly thinks we are all nuts and tolerates us only for the treats that come from a part of the desk only I can reach.
