Camille Didn't Get the Concept Of the Bird Ornaments On the Tree Until...

"Mimi" took her over to "see the brides on the tree", as "Auntie Nicole" asked her whether she did earlier. She kept looking out the window and barked at first when she thought that she saw birds, despite that "Auntie Nicole" kept telling her that they were "on the tree over there".

"Mimi" eventually had to take her over to the tree, and she looked over "Mimi"'s shoulder even then at first.

As for Reilly, she got that the "birdies" were "on the tree over there" when "Auntie Michelle" took her to it right away.

Of course, neither Reilly or Camille get that the "birdies" are ornaments, and "Momma/Auntie Nicole" wanted to take an ornament off the tree and show them "the birdie" to see how they'd react to it for that reason. "Auntie Michelle"/"Mimi", though, misheard and thought that "Momma/Auntie Nicole" was being "sadistic" by tricking them about a "burglar" being around. "Mom-Mom", on the other hand, understood what she said and thought that she was being mean overall.

Update [12:45 AM EST on Monday, December 4th]: "Momma"/"Auntie Nicole" finally got to show Reilly and Camille two of the ornaments to see how they'd react. Though Reilly actually saw both and Camille saw only one, their reactions to each were essentially the same: curiosity and desires to sniff-vestigate. Reilly also, however, licked her lips after she sniffed the cardinal ornament, so she may have wanted to eat the ornament—then again, she had been distracted by Camille's reception of treats from "Auntie Michelle"; so, she may have been licking her lips for treats!

***** Fatigue Is One Thing That Demonstrates That...

Maya Angelou was wrong. People may remember what you said, what you did, and how they felt—even if they don't remember the exacts of everything that happened and/or unless they either can't remember or have chosen to repress all of the bad memories because of how painful they were.

With the United States being fatigued by *****, Americans and others within the United States will be too tired and too overwhelmed from having to deal with the ***** Dictatorship to remember everything that *****. In fact, ***** (like other sociopaths and narcissists) is trying to tire and overwhelm America to the point at which it will forget everything that ***** said, did, and made it feel (like other sociopaths and narcissists try to do their victims). Part of *****'s trying to make America forget what he said, did, and affect it to feel is gaslighting, since gaslighting involves trying to get a victim to buy into at least one revisionist history of some kind—whether it's the individual history of the victim, the individual history of the abuser, the relational history of the victim of the abuser, or any other kind of history which somehow involves the victim and/or the abuser, and whether or not the abuser engages in trying to get a victim to buy more than one revisionist history.

With *****, a few examples that involved gaslighting included that:

1. Even America wasn't broken, although it needed a tuneup. ***** propagated that America needed to be made "great again".
2. ***** raped his now-long-since-ex husband and blackmailed her into changing her story twice.
3. ***** had Julian Assange willingly hack, decontextualize messages from, and release decontextualized messages from Hillary Clinton's and others' email accounts.
4. *****, as a RINO, supported the Hillary Clinton campaign until he could throw under the bus and try to convince others that he's a Republican.

Meanwhile, America has already forgotten the fourth example and seems to already forget that the second example fits the profile of a #MeToo movement; and it can't keep up with the number of racist (especially Anti-Semitic), sexist, xenophobic, and other bigoted attempts to apparently "make America great again" that ***** has made. It also can't keep up with who else ***** has as support—and according to the latest implications made by Pamela Anderson herself, ***** has Pamela Anderson has one of his supporters since she seems to be (even if implicitly) confirming the rumors that she is dating Julian Assange. 

As for me, that's part of why I'm tired of *****—can't the Republicans and decent Democrats in the House and Senate have ***** removed from office, and then a special prosecuter have **** prosecuted already?

Post-Grooming Appointment Photoshoot

After an earthquake two days before and other happenings within the week, Reilly and Camille had an additionally-busy week when they had their grooming appointment yesterday. Of course, their week became busier when "Momma"/"Auntie Nicole" took quite a few photos of them (and besides, "Momma"/"Auntie Nicole" needed something to cheer her up):

From New York To Philadelphia To Baltimore, Although...

Reilly and Camille probably felt it, despite that "Momma"/"Auntie Nicole" and "Mom-Mom" didn't feel it. The "it" in question was a NY-NJ- and DE-PA-MD-Areas earthquake that probably explains why Reilly and Camille were barking unusually continuously before or at 4:45 (probably closer to an hour within their usual naptime—like 3:00—since the sun set at around or after 4:45, and it wasn't dark when they were barking unusually continously), not to mention moving from the family room to the kitchen and back at one point. Of course, "Momma"/"Auntie Nicole" is worried for some people (including a certain one) and both surprised and unsurprised that they could electromagnetically could detect a Baltimore-affecting earthquake all the way in Howard County, Maryland. Then again, since they were born at Ole Field Farm, so "Momma"/"Auntie Nicole" thinks that they could've both electromagnetically detected the earthquake and had a canine sense that something was amiss at Ole Field Farm, which is in Carroll County and closer to Dover (where the epicenter of the earthquake was) than any city in Howard County is.

Mostly Offbeat: Still Being A Bad "Momma" To Reilly While Waiting For A Clear Answer Re A Certain Matter, Etc..

"Momma", so to speak, seems to have beaten a dead horse re a certain matter. Nonetheless, it involves a kind of heartbreak and confusion which "Momma" has not been able to get over for almost three years now, especially if there's a possibility that she may be right about whom a certain person is in regard both to her and to Reilly (and wanting an answer straight from the source isn't bad, is it?). Besides, she's already said that "the tall guy", for example, is simply a family friend and not at all whom she thinks is her helpmate and Reilly's "Daddy". Also besides, he also wants an "uncle" for Camille and to be a better "Auntie Nicole" to her.

She's pretty sure that especially other pet owners who have disabilities can relate to this, by the way. After all, for instance, don't they want to be able to do more that they can't do for their pets alone? Also for instance and incidentally, "Momma"'s pretty sure that other pet owners can relate to that she almost fell off of her stool when Reilly barked within the hour, and "Momma" (like other pet owners with disabilities would like to be around for their pets) would like to be around for and not killed by Reilly because she fell due to a myoclonus flareup. 

A Short List Of What Gets Reilly and Camille To Ring the Bell On the Backyard Door

1. When they want to bark at someone or something
2. When they want to go sit outside for fresh air
3. When they really have to "go potty"
4. When they (and especially Camille will) pretend that they have to go potty in order to go eat "bunny beans" and other "nasties" (and this despite that "Momma"/"Auntie Nicole" has taken a friend's advice and told them that "Santa's watching" when they eat "nasties" and behave badly otherwise)
5. When they want attention (and especially Reilly rings the bell to get attention)
6. When they want to go "night nights" (As far as "Momma"/"Auntie Nicole" knows, Reilly has done this while Camille has not picked up this trick. In the meantime, Reilly has picked up Camille's tricking trick.).
7. When they have to "go potty" for a second time in order to get another treat (and only Camille has deliberately held in her "peedy" to "go potty" twice and thus earn two treats, as far as "Auntie Nicole" knows.)

Incidentally, Reilly and "Momma" have another list—namely, a still-unfulfilled Hanukkah and Christmas list (Can't Reilly at least behave if "Momma"'s sake if not her own, "Momma" wonders? Besides, any of Reilly's misbehavior that is a reflection on "Momma" may get God to decide not to perform any miracles.)
