cello Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Well, it's that time of year again! Time to reflect back on that crazy Christmas when Specky ate Santa Claus even though she was trying to be on her 'best' behavior! We all know that Specky's "Best" behavior was somewhat below the standards set by her sister Gizzy. While Specky might not have been the best behaved of our Greyhounds, she definitely had the MOST FUN! That sort of makes you think doesn't it? Should we focus on doing every little thing perfectly or living in the moment? Should we be a Gizzy or a Specky? I think that maybe we should aim for somewhere in the middle. Of course follow all the important rules, but maybe, just maybe can we relax a little on the ones that really don't matter? Does the bed 'have' to be made every single day? Can we let the kids load the dishwasher even if the plates aren't in the exact spot we like them in? Maybe we can put that work project that can wait until Monday away for the weekend and really enjoy time with our loved ones. So let's all make a pact together. Let's work at being just a little more like Specky. Live life to the fullest. Be less harsh when others do things or think different from us. Put the work and the tablet and the phone down and look around and see what our loved ones are saying. Be a Specky and live for today because we never know what tomorrow will bring. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Quote Molly Weasley Carpenter-Caro - 6 Year Old Standard Poodle. Gizzy, Specky, Riley Roo & Lady - Our beloved Greyhounds waiting at the Rainbow Bridge.

LBass Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Years ago I had a cat who toppled my Christmas tree 3 times one year. I managed to be philosophical until the 3rd time. Bad attitude notwithstanding, I still had to pick up the tree and redecorate it. With the Oriental Shorthairs, I finally went to a 4' artificial tree that sits on a table top. They mostly leave it in peace. Quote Lucy with Greyhound Nate and OSH Tinker.
