I've been good...I've been good.....really!

I know it's almost Christmas....WP put twinkly lights up outside about 2 weeks ago....that can only mean one thing.....Santa Paws is coming.   Oh how I just love it...I always get a new squeaky and boy do I ever need a new one..Charlie slobbered all over my rabbit and it stinks! I hoped he gets ZIP this year because of it...  He just can't seem to keep his paws off my toys.
There's something rather odd around here though.  The tree looks a bit weird. It's silver with white lights and doesn't smell like our summer camping trips. In fact it doesn't smell at all and it's teeny tiny. Anyone know what artificial means?  WP mentioned nostalgia of being a kid in Texas and having a bigger one like it with a color wheel light.  I don't think I like it but WP says it's a lot less work.  She's been a bit busy lately doing something bizarre or is that Bazaar?   Anyway she made a bunch of thingies with her sew machine and then went to a schoolhouse and set up a table to sell it.  Guess she made money.  She came home happy, anyway.
    So back to the tree thing....I hope Charlie minds his manners around it.  Not that he pees in the house but that huge tail of his could swat this poor pathetic thing into the next county if he's not careful.   Like I said he hasn't been very good lately....naw I'm just kidding. He's my bro and I love him.  Annie is a totally different story.  She's been so good you don't even know she's here.   WP put her dog bed in her sewing room and that's where she is most of the time....what a couch potato! She has been hanging around some new guy named Arthur Itis and something makes her walk funny at times...WP thinks she will be banned from day hikes soon because this Arthur person hurts her too bad.   If this Arthur person comes here and hurts her anymore I'll bite him!
   This week was Picture Week.   WP tries pretty hard to get me to sit still to take some quality photos for her Christmas memory book.  All three of us learned at an early age to sit and stay where she puts us.  That's why most of our pictures together are pretty good. It takes patience and a whole lot of chicken stripss to get the outcome she wants...so here are the shots from the past few years...That's why I say I have been really really good....
I don't think I have changed a lot over the years, just gotten cuter. And much more mature!

Hey I heard something this morning too.  HP was talking about Seattle again..It sounds like we may be going again in the near future.  Yippee, I think get to stay in a hotel this time....HP is looking for a dinghy, whatever that is.   There is a huge Boat Show in Seattle the end of January. But a dinghy store? Doesn't sound like anything I would want, cuz I'm a girl.. Maybe Charlie needs a new one?  Oops just found out it is a rubber raft to keep on the boat so HP can get us pups to shore to do our business while we are boating.  We are NOT allowed to pee on the boat. HP and WP have been to this boat show many times.  I remember hearing stories about huge yachts there where you have to remove your shoes to even get to see the insides.  Yeah we will go but we have to stay in the car....but at least we get to go...
So right now is the boring part of the year....  we mainly stay inside and hang out by the woodstove.  So warm and relaxing and my favorite place to be.  HP is doing some reading, studying all the manuals for the electronics on the boat..He wants to be ready for next spring when we can get back out on the water. WP sews a lot.  She has lots of fabric stashed for several projects that just have to get finished before summer arrives.
I am sure hoping in the near future I get to meet that new short person, Hadley.  I really love kids and I know she and I will get a long just fine.  I plan to smother those cute cheeks with tons of kisses and also play with my cousin Jackson....he's a goldendoodle, and quite handsome I may add...I don't get to see him a lot..
Here is a picture of him...
So I guess I had better get busy..  I still have all my Christmas shopping to do,  Oh right I don't carry a purse so guess I can't shop.   Okay I guess I will just have to think hard about what to do for HP and WP for Christmas this year..I promise I won't leave any presents in the house, if you know what I mean.  I am way better than that.  I just thought of the perfect gift for them.....I promise not to leave my toys strewn all over the house and for the next three months I promise not to shed........(too much).
So to all my fans who follow my blog, why not leave me a comment so I know you've been here...I love having followers but don't know it unless you tell me.
At this time I want to wish you all a very wonderful Christmas .  I need to go.  I have to figure some way to sneak some biscuits out for Santa Paws and his reinpups...gotta be prepare.  See you next year!!
