Jackie LOVED her T-Bone - nothing a little extra enzymes can't handle...

I love the pictures! What a happy time for your dog! We didn't get Blue anything this year because we FINALLY have her poop normal for over a week and so I don't want to ruin a good thing! But I am happy for you!!!! | |

Hi Michele,
Great photos of Jackie! I'm not sure wheter she liked the bone or the paper better though!!
I forgot my camera at my daughter's house Christmas Eve, and didn't get it back until today, so none of them opening their gifts, but as we are currently under a blizzard warning, I'm sure to have plenty of them frolicking in the 18-24 inches of snow they are predicting by tomorrow...No doubt we'll be snow blowing poop paths by morning...Especially for the short one...
We have a program here in town run through the VFW where if you bring a gift to the VFW, they'll have Santa himself deliver it on Christmas Eve! Poor Santa...My Grandson chatted his ear off and insisted on playing him a song with the new guitar Santa brought him Christmas Eve...He was a real sport about it, even though I know he probably had 200 more kids waiting for him...:roll:
Okay, and here are the pups...

Donna - I love the way your grandson and Santa are looking at each other! They do that program here also - Santa goes from house to house on the fire truck. Christmas is for the children - it really is such a beautiful time of year, where things magical happen! The pups look great! | |

LOL!!! I wish they delivered Santa in a firetruck...That could have been explained! They delivered our Santa in a mini-van, but he was quickly dissappointed when he ran to the fridge and grabbed a bunch of carrots for Rudolph...Santa said he was "resting" the team, but gladly took the carrots for his team... I wonder how many pounds of carrots the VFW ended up with that night??? My grandson, who is a pretty bright kid, took this as a reasonable explanation...Oh, and the driver wore an Elf hat, so this helped!
Yes, Christmas is always for the kids... | |

I love Jackie opening her presents - what a haul! I didn't even think to take pictures of Teddy opening presents but he did visit with Santa (who has a death grip on him).
And I did take this one when it snowed a little last week. Nothing like that outside today - snowed all day yesterday and still snowing this AM.

Love the photos. We are currently in blizzard conditions too - hoping to take Apollo out later with my new camera but here are a few Christmas morning shots with my old one. Apollo with his nylabone:
Grace hoarding all the toys - the other animals got so mad at her! Grace and Libby having a showdown: Apollo stays out of that wisely. LOL

OMG.....i was hardly over laughing at Gracie and the cat pic, when I came to MANFRED and his Cookies. I was rolling and laughing loudly. Hope my boat neighbors dont think I am crazy, as it is just me and Suzie in here. All of these puppy Christmas pics are wonderful, But I must admit, Manfred takes the cake. HILARIOUS. | |

Love the pics guys.... The pups didn't get anthing for Christmas this year, they've been getting all year long, so they had to do with us being home and going to Grandma's....I think they did just fine....hahaha I love seeing these big guys with Santa, it's hysterical!!! I can only imagine what the poor guys are thinking!!!! We tried Jellybean with the Easter Bunny when she was a pup, but it traumatized her so bad, we haven't been back!!!!hahahahaha Butter just looks at them like "you smell funny"....that does not make a good picture.....hahaha So very glad you all had a lovely Christmas. | |
