Happy Holidays

Here is the gallery.

As much as I would like to have more photos, the reality is it is muddy season. I am so tied up in doing feet and under carriages. Some sniff and turn around to use the pad. We have had a long muddy winter. That usually happens in Fall and Spring. Not this year.

Still the dogs are having a blast and some are plain chilling as I type all over Nathan and behind him in the tv room. They are happy.

Tonight, after Panda and Logan arrive, we cut up the rest of the prime rib to share with them and that's another splendid meal they shared with us. We already got some whining for supper as we usually feed at 430 but won't till after 445pm tonight as that is when the 2 arrive. They need to learn patience - Harlow especially and Nora thinks she is starving. LOL

So, after this blog, I am back at cleaning and combing out dogs as they had their outside adventure. Oh, they will go out after dinner so may have to wait till after dinner. I suppose I could just keep them inside and save myself work but it is not fair to them. Tonight I will roll into the bed and get surrounded by dogs only to pass out, I am sure. Nathan thinks he never sleeps but he snores so we know he does. He just has old man's bladder so he's up a lot. 

I placed up a couple of videos. Otherwise know that the dogs are having their own holiday. Put your mind at ease and yes, although a slow starter, after a day he has been full out playing. 

Brace yourself for Boxing Day if you do that sort of thing. We already bought our holiday gift to each other. We got 6 stackable ice cube trays - no lie. Well, I got them for Nathan as he gets irritated that ours do not stack evenly. We are saving up for a stove that has the numbers flashing. We have one burner run too high no matter what setting you have it on. One that doesn't work and now the oven doesn't heat up beyond 285f even if you put it at 450. I placed a thermometer in as our roast was taking FOREVER. I think it is on its last legs. We won't buy one till new year - thank you BBQ but let us know if you ever bought yours at Costco and how warranty works? Never having bought appliances from them, I really want to know as they are 200 plus cheaper than anywhere else.

Happy Holidays everyone. May the New Year be a wonderful one.
