Oh, beautiful beautiful Sweeparina.
Who is that cutie on Sweep's bed?

Thanks for making us all smile.

This morning I heard all sorts of different squeaky sounds from the living room -- it was Gelsey, trying out her new stuffies. She barks thank you, thank you! The sea life theme is original -- who else gets a holiday seahorse?
The treats will be put up on the shelf, ready for future indulgence. And I know I'll enjoy the Charleston coffee and houndie earrings.
I've been meaning to tell you that I looked up the meaning of the word galoot, since that's your cute nickname for Roman. It was used as early as the 12th century to mean a sailor or oarsman (sometimes with negative connotations) on a sailing galley, with variations in several languages. Our galoot probably came from the Dutch, which just meant sailor. That seems particularly apt, given your job related to the maritime industry. I have this vision of Roman hiding out on a big vessel from Holland, and then hopping off when he got to Charleston harbor.

Milo barks Thank You! Milo was dubious about the snowman peeps at first -- in his old age, he has become cautious about unfamiliar foods. But when he saw Gelsey gulp down her portion, he dogged up and enjoyed it. He didn't have to investigate the chicken pepperoni -- that went down toot sweet! I am looking forward to having the dogs try out the licking mat (thank goodness it has a spatula to put sticky stuff on it). It has suction cups -- do I put it on the refrigerator? Or can it be easily attached to other surfaces? I've heard that peanut butter is the usual food spread on it, but I bet things like soft cheese and soft sausages like liverwurst
would work, too. Any suggestions welcome. Your Christmas card is lovely -- and Mama Mia is so tiny! She looks half Odin's size. And there's a beautiful card for me with something sealed inside it. I look forward to finding out what.
My applause for your packing skills. Everything fit so efficiently in that one box, and so beautifully wrapped in tissue paper. Your packaging tape required the equivalent of a samurai sword to get into the package, too.
Thanks!

Grievance lists for both dogs are very long, but top problems are:
Gelsey: Starvation. She gained only 3 lbs this past year.
Milo: Having a sister.
Shared: Dogwalker does not have a consistent schedule, so hounds have to be alert at all times to ensure they are not overlooked and left behind. Exhausting! Does that make this grievance a Feat of Strength?

Such shiny black fur. Such pearly teeth (the better to eat you with, my dear). Such control over his ears. Such a furious attack on that sand.

Not just one, but two! She is beside herself with anticipation! And I've caught her watching Specky's video to get tips on opening presents.
We plan on opening everything on the 25th, unless an elf flags us down to tell us different.

I've got a huge number of the paper ones, if anyone wants to pay shipping.

More pictures of Mooney!

And eat speculaas cookies* in her honor

That girl was efficient. A model of form follows function.

Rent them hounds out as excavators.

I'd forgotten that Roger Miller song and how much I enjoyed singing along. It's a good song for dogs -- "But you can be happy if you've a mind to."

A cold nose isn't so bad if the rest of you is toasty warm. Does AnnIE want to share the window space?
Milo has fallen in love with his heated seat in the car. He doesn't bother looking outside, just curls up on the warm seat. Meanwhile, Gelsey's going gaga at her window.

Milo found a hanukkah package in our mailbox. Thank you, Irene!. We will save it and open everything on one big extravaganza morning.

Congreytulations, Team Willa! Cheeseburgers all around!

Beauty and the beast.
Love the sasquatch house.

Maybe if you keep telling her how pretty she looks in it ... .

And the lovely photographs by you to show off your handsome boy!
How did you think to get Mooney started in tracking? I see where it says you were looking for an activity outlet for him, but it's not something I'd immediately associate with sighthounds.

There are no words.

He was just doing the weeding for you.

Gorgeous girl. Love those specklety dogs.

He's a Happy Hanukkah Houndie.

Thanks for the info.
would work, too. Any suggestions welcome. Your Christmas card is lovely -- and Mama Mia is so tiny! She looks half Odin's size. And there's a beautiful card for me with something sealed inside it. I look forward to finding out what.

The nerve! The audacity! That dirty dog!
My niece's dachshunds completely took over my hounds' beds on several occasions. My poor babies would come drag-footing up to me with big, sad eyes: "Mommy, make them stop."
