Secret Santa

It took us long enough to get mom to sit down at the ol' laptop and get her to share the pics of us opening our Secret Santa gifts, but here they are.

Here's Kenna poking her nose in the box to check things out.

Shiloh here investigating his package to open, which turned out to be a very cool doggie ornament with lil bones all over it.

Guinness has a very lady-like approach to this gift opening thing.

Kenna has a more direct approach

"Hey, that doesn't look like me!" But Shiloh approves highly.

We want to thank our MaPaw Secret Santa for the bewootiful ornaments, (the personalized ones were a great touch!) and the realy cool stocking. Santa Paws was especially good to us this year. We hope everyone's christmas was a very good one.

as for the quiz...Kenna on the left; Guinness was on the right

Getting Settled at the Inn

As you can see, Kenna is making herself right at home at the ol' Stoutino Inn. She has discovered the comfort of the pomegranate couch and her love of the squeaky tennis/football thing. She's a good grrl who knows a lot more that we gave her credit for at first. She does respond to her name and simple commands. We think that awful shelter had her very confused and gave her a bad case of kennel cough too.


Now, a quiz - which dog is which?

Mom hasn't been feeling well either. She's been coughing as much or more than Kenna - daddy joked that she got kennel cough too. Mom says he's not very funny.

Here is Kenna taking in the view and waiting for dad to come home from wrrrk. It's nice that she already looks after him so well.

Only 3 days until Santa Paws comes! We can hardly wait to see what our Secret Santa has sent to us. We'll be sure to take loads of pictures.

We hope he brings everyone all the joy and warmth of a good snuggle and a kiss on the snooter.

No Fair!

Mommy got her present for Christmas already and she won't let us have ours early. No Fair!!!

Hello and Goodbye

Friday was Cheyenne's last dinner with us, because she was adopted! A very nice man named Robert needed a knew grrrfriend and Cheyenne was his perfect match. She new something was going on because we all took a trip to Petsmart and got all cleaned up and smellin pretty. New spiffy bandanas too.



Robert wanted a laid back doggie and Cheyenne was perfect. He came to meet her and she greeted him just as a lady would, with gentle kisses and a brief snuggle. Then she laid down and was her calm and quiet self. During the biped talk, she demonstrated her gentle "woof" - just to show she had something to say. It was love at first sight.



The house seemed empty, but we knew it wouldn't be that way for long - and we were right. We are seeing double again!

Saturday night, in comes Kenna! A bewootiful German Shepherd that mom & dad are fostering for Save a Shepherd. She's a good grrrl but she doesn't know any commands! Poor thing barely knows her own name. You know that will change in this house. We work hard at being good at our commands and we go to school to learn more.

Kenna is a big grrrl, bigger than Guinness, but mom is still having a hard time telling them a part. All of the look-alikes we seem to get! Guinness is just happy we don't have another white dog for a change.

Welcome Kenna and so long darling Cheyenne - we miss you and your lil' woof already

Decorations

Look what mom & dad made for our house!

We've been immortalized as lawn ornaments. HaROO!

Happy Huskies!

It snowed! It snowed! Not a lot, but enough to make 2 white huskies very perkie this morning. In fact, Shiloh & Cheyenne really did not want to come back inside. So, mom got out the camera. Snow really shows how they do have a bit of color in their furs





Shiloh on alert for frisky fun

Cheyenne shows her pretty pink snow snooter

Dear Santa Paws

Dear Santa Paws,
I have been a good grrl all year. All we want for the holidays are lots of bones & cookies and a new frisbee.

Oh, yes, Shiloh & the foster huskies have asked for lots and lots of snow to romp in and for catching snowballs.

Please send lots of the of joy, kisses and bellyrubs to all of my doggie blogger friends and extra to my handsome boyfrrrnd, Pippadog. Give some kisses to the reindeer for me!

Love, Guinness

PS: Mom has been driving us crazy getting ready for your visit and the pawty that mom & dad always have the night before you come. We keep telling her that you don't mind a little dog hair here and there because he knows we live here too. She doesn't believe us for some reason. And they put up that silly tree in our living room again. What's with that? So, give mom some way to relax for her present, okay?

PPS: I'm in Black & White cuz mom was gettin all artsy for our cards this year....
