I'm so glad they enjoyed them...I understand about the toys not lasting I have that problem too. I'm sorry Finn is sick but I hope he'll be all better soon. Can't wait to see pics...take care! *bully hugs*

Hi Just wanted to see if the boys liked their secret santa gifts? I was hoping to see pics but I know it's hard to get those sometimes and then to post is another chore. Hope you and your boys had a nice christmas and wishing you a happy new year!

Start of Part 2, ha!

Did I see that in Becky's message below that you're have the winter blues? I used to get those all the time.

I wish we could sit and chat over a cup of coffee, tea, etc. Water would be nice....lol. to you my friend!!! xx

How's my bestie? I had a short reply to you when I was at lunch today and I musta hit the wrong key with my fat fingers cause it cleared itself out....grrr Thanks on the picture of W&J, I bribed them to sit still - I'm sneaky like that. I could give Vegas a wonderful home, the timing's just not good with Ace and his constant growling and going after Jack - he LOVES Wilson though, lol. Must be cause he's short and squatty and Jack is long, energetic and langy and he's an alpha treat? It's the only thing I can think of.

Now about that tennis ball. Ace would eat them all the time, chunks of them and then get backed up for a couple of day. He's finally pass a piece and then a piece again a month later. Keep an eye on their poop or lack of! I hope Finn gets better soon and Tate doesn't get the bad ickies.

End of Part 1 cause I'm too wordie.

You're very welcome. Couldn't resist!

Merry christmas

Saturday it is then! I recommend a second bed for you to sleep in, lol. Wilson doesn't sleep on our bed (too high) but Jack does. We can't keep him off. He starts off on the floor in his own bed and then when we're asleep he jumps up and immediately flattens himself out and falls asleep. We never feel him until he jabs us. He's 5 1/2 feet long!!! Talk to you on Saturday Henny.

your welcome, hope you and the boys have a wonderful Christmas

Hi Henny! Yes we are leaving soon but we will be here for Christmas, THANKFULLY! I would feel awful if I wasn't home with the pups for Christmas! We leave Dec 26th and come back Jan 2nd, very excited! I'm bringing my computer so I'll still check in on here from time to time, my boyfriend thinks I'm crazy LOL Hope all is well with you and you have a lovely Christmas! Take care

Ahhh Henny, I was just thinking about you last night!!! I did notice that I hadn't seen you in the last couple of days too. You beat me to the message. Friday sounds like an wonderful day. That is so neat to have a friend you've known since 10. Have a wonderful lunch with her!!!

Traffic's been outstanding this week here too. But since I've driven in So. Cal I know it's nothing compared to where you are! Your light is probably our heavy, lol.

Maybe we can catch a real quick FT on Saturday before you go to your brother's? Just a quickie to wish each other Merry Christmas. I sure would like that!

Talk to you soon Henny!

Whewwww, I finally have a moment! Talk about a busy two days. Finalized 99% of my Christmas stuff, just gotta get crescents for Christmas morning and that's it. We do a Christmas breakfast. Mike and I went out for dinner last night to our favorite place, Famous Dave's. It's a BBQ joint that's super yummy. Oh and I started my day off with a 90 minute massage, nice!! Boy I wish our local Petsmart had a day camp that would be awesome, and close. There's a couple of Camp Bow Wow's around but I haven't checked them out yet. I bet Take & Finn really like it. The hubby's working today and the only thing left I have to do is give all three boys a bath and then shower myself, lol. I might skip on Ace though since he's favoring his back leg quite a bit this morning. That's about it really, just getting ready for Christmas.

Our holiday party is Friday at noon. We close our office. It's at Maggiano's, very yummy and festive inside.

Have a wonderful day my friend.

Tears have not stopped yet... I think I made it this past weekend without any tears (first since he pasted) becasue I was away on our annual sister shopping trip. It was a great time and nice distraction. It is strange how the holidays bring that emotion out in us - I sometimes wish I could go to sleep on 11/1 and wake up on 1/2... modern day sleeping beauty.

Thank you for the thoughts... it has been very difficult - he is still very, very much in my heart. BTW -- I love your profile picture, they almost look innocent ;-)

hi Becky!

Doing good, just feeling really tired. I think i need a good night's sleep or a long nap

i've been taking little walks during lunch here in downtown. Yesterday i walked to Phillipe's French Dip to p/u some mustard, and just now, i walked right into another protest from the 99%! There were all these cops just standing there, doing nothing but watching. I just needed to go to the post office to get more stamps...didn't think i was gonna get engulfed by another darn protest! Obviously these folks don't have anything better to do.
The boys have been doing fine but Finn has been frustrating me w/his growls towards Tate. i'm rattling a loud bell in his face whenever i catch him growling. It doesn't seem to deter him tho. I got very aggravated w/him this a.m. and felt bad afterwards b/c i was so po'd and yelled at him. I know it startled him to hear me so mad. Poor guy. I feel bad.

i hope you are doing well yourself. Are you all done w/your Christmas shopping?

Hi there Henny! I was just thinking of you so I said to myself: Self go send Henny a buddy. Glad you see you got the card and the magnet. I found those where I got my bulldog statute and couldn't resist. I got one for Becky too. Hope you're having a nice weekend. I finished my indoor decorating for Christmas. I actually did my mantel this year, haven't done it in 5 years.
