It's beginning to look like Christmas....

I'm considering a real tree this year instead of a fake one. However, I'm considered the boy dogs may think its an inside potty place. Has anyone had any luck with a real tree in the presence of dogs?

Here is some of hubby's new yard art...I has bought more than I knew about. My yard is quite jolly these days.

After Christmas

Well, Christmas is over.  I've already taken the tree and decorations down.  I never found the Christmas spirit this year, and I didn't want to look at it all anymore.  I've been returning the house to normal for the last couple of days.  I was very pleased that Thumper never ate any ornaments, and after an initial obsession with the shiny gold beads on the Christmas tree, he left them alone.    


Santa was good to both Lightning and Thumper.  Each of them got a new stuffed duck.  Lightning got a new orange ball, and Thumper got a new bone.  In typical form, Thumper quickly gathered all the loot and stashed it in his crate.  He is such a hoarder.  I now have the new orange ball put up where I can play with Lightning with it.  I have written off the ducks.  One has already been gutted and beheaded...


Back to Christmas vacation now - it's warm here today and I hear windchimes calling my name.  


Have a Happy New Year, everyone, and thanks for welcoming us to the blog world this year.


 







 

Weekend Recap...by Lightning

While I watch Pearl Harbor (again), Lightning is going to tell his version of our weekend....enjoy!

:)

Hello, everyone, Lightning here.  How was your weekend?  We were almost abandoned Saturday.  It was horrible.  Mom and the boy went to see Grandma and almost forgot to come home.  It got dark and Thumper was worried he wasn't going to get dinner.  But not Lightning....Lightning had a plan to raid the pantry and get the dog food.  


They finally did come home and feed us, and then they turned on the Big Football Game.  It was LSU vs Georgia Bulldogs.  Thumper was excited to see 'Dogs play football.  I had to remind him this is an LSU house and to cheer for the Tigers.  He insisted cheering for the cats just seemed wrong when dogs were on the field.  


In the end the Tigers won, but the game got off to a slow start.  The boy said he couldn't watch anymore and ran away.  This is how Thumper and Lightning watched the first half....

I knew I should have cheered for the 'Dogs.
'Dogs rule. 

Hurry, Thumper!  Cover my eyes...I can't watch!

After half time, I could uncover my eyes and watch again.  Whew.  


The next day Mom decorated the Christmas tree.  So far Thumper hasn't peed on it or taken any of the shiny things from it.  He did try to take the shiny gold string of beads when Mom was decorating the tree, but she stopped him.  I'm waiting for him to get the beads off the tree and get in the Dog House.  He liked those beads a lot.


After that, we took naps.  Even Mom.  It was the best part of the weekend.


Have a good week everyone.
