Calling Gino, Gene, Eugene Please come to the typing machine. Santa needs your list— you can't be missed— so, please, for what gifts are you keen? Do you like chicken, fish, or treats of cheese? Does peanut butter make you weak in the knees? Is beef still out? Santa had some doubt, so tell us all your preferences, please! And for the hound of many names What's your favorite type of game? Rope toys or stuffies: should they be toughies? Santa wants to make sure they're not lame. Oh, and what sizes do you wear? Does your wardrobe need some flair? Are there colors you like to sport when you hike that make people stop and stare? Finally, we have one last request: tell us what mom Vanessa likes best. Is it coffee or tea, sweets or sugar-free? And is there anything she might detest? Thank you much, our multi-named friend, for whatever ideas you recommend. This elf is rusty, her dictionary dusty, but fortunately you've reached the end.

O Monica O Monica Can you and Carmen tell me O Monica O Monica What would your favorite gifts be? What toys make Carmen happy? What treats would make her smile? O Monica O Monica Tell Santa what's her style. O Monica O Monica Please don't forget yourself O Monica O Monica Thanks from Santa and this elf.

Dashing through the snow With a message for Milo Over the web we go To deliver this memo Milo, we have read you love fresh bunny What gift can Santa send instead (although that'd be funny)? Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way What can Santa send to you across the USA? Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way Ellen, don't forget to say What gift would make your day.

I'll elf again this year!

Always ready for Wiki Walkies! So cute.

Happy birthday, Buddy! Twelve is swell! Love your big eyes when you're eating your cake.

Gorgeous boy.

I'm so, so sorry for your loss. You gave Sherlock a wonderful life and a perfect last day. I love what your sibling said. In time the good memories will overcome the painful ones and you'll smile thinking of your boy. He'll always be in your heart. Rest well, Sherlock, and send your people a sign when you can. You'll have lots of friends at the bridge to show you the way. Say hi to Sweep for me.

How sad. @Time4ANaphas adopted dogs in the same situation (though I can't recall if it was two at one time). My Doolin was only in a home for a month when his new owner suddenly passed away, so I don't think he'd learned much of the ropes yet. In any event, yes, I do think it'll be much easier with dogs who are adjusted to home life already. Did the owner work outside the home? If so, they're probably used to being alone for a few hours at a time, but they might be a bit anxious initially because they've lost their owner and are likely very confused. And yes to sleeping arrangements—neither of mine do the steep inside stairs yet so they can't sleep in the bedroom with us, but they're okay being downstairs overnight since they have each other. So I say go for it! It'll probably still be at times because it's a new normal for all of you, but I bet it'll be a hugely rewarding experience.

To be fair, she IS a ham.

Never apologize for an emotional post. We have all been where you are and know how much it hurts (just a few months ago in my case). I would respectfully suggest that if you're posting about making the decision, it's probably time. Quality over quantity. You've done everything in your power to keep your boy comfortable and happy, and this is the last, most difficult act of love you can do for him. Wishing you peace and sending many hugs. This disease is horrible.

I believe she is channeling her predecessor in yard werk. Has she started digging a hole yet?

Adding our well wishes for Odin.

I'm so sorry for your loss and that you didn't have more time together. Rest well, Daphne.

Good job, Guinness! Thank you.

So glad you have a diagnosis and that it's treatable (even if the treatment is a little scary). BTDT with the oral chemo and gloves, but we weren't told no snuggling (though Sweep's sleep startle prevented that anyway). We also had to promptly dispose of her poop and were advised to double-bag it. Though I don't have experience with chlorambucil, we had her on two other oral chemo meds (separately) and neither caused any side effects.

Punkin. Miss Jan.

It's a great name! All three of mine have been Cobblepot descendants.

Doolin already knew how he felt. Linky (sound on!) *Sorry for the IG link; YouTube has become TikTok Jr. and I can't figure it out anymore.

What a clever girl!

Babushka! Wiki, I'm sorry for your indignation, but you look adorable.

Four years?! How can that be? You have honored his memory so much with all the hounds that you have welcomed since (and introduced to French fries!).

But did you add sauerkraut?

Thank you, Seamie. Our forecast is perfect. Maybe a light shower in the late afternoon, which would be welcome, but otherwise mild temperatures and breezy...of course breezy.
