cello Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Well friends here we are again. It's time to celebrate the season, and think of all of the things we have to be grateful for. Some of you will remember that fateful Christmas many, many years ago when our crazy girl Specky 'accidently' dismantled a Santa ornament from our Christmas tree. She didn't mean to be naughty! In fact, Specky tried very hard to live her life to the standards of her sister Gizzy. Unfortunately, Gizzy's standards just didn't include enough fun stuff! If Gizzy was the Captain of their ship, Specky was the Cruise Director! Fun, fun, fun, all the time was the motto that Specky lived by. I wonder if some of us are living our lives too much on the 'Gizzy scale' and maybe we need to inject just a little bit of Specky to our lives? So this holiday season, take the time to add some extra fun - even in these unusual and difficult times. Do something silly! Spread some joy to others! Be just a 'little bit' Specky! P.S. We now have a Standard Poodle named Molly. She is 100% following in her big sister Specky's pawprints! Quote Molly Weasley Carpenter-Caro - 6 Year Old Standard Poodle. Gizzy, Specky, Riley Roo & Lady - Our beloved Greyhounds waiting at the Rainbow Bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remolacha Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Ah, one of the signs of the season! I believe you are right and we should all put a little more Specky in our lives, especially in these difficult times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniffy Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I had been away from this board for many years and recently returned, and I do remember your posts about Specky! And incidentally, we nearly had a Christmas tragedy just this morning with Stanley. He ALMOST helped himself to a fat, fuzzy bird ornament that was hanging on the tree. Luckily my son stopped him. Leave the birds alone, Stanley! Quote Was a subscriber in the mid 2000s (the aughts!). Reactivated in 2021. What'd I miss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
