We're back!!!

Hi Everyone! Remember us? We're back!  We got sprung collected from 'camp' this morning.  We were so happy to come home.  We recognised the sound of our car and started up a racket until SHE paid our bill.  Roxy and Bella made a huge fuss, but I was as dignified as always and  let HER come to me for a greeting.

Roxy licked the back of  HER neck all the way home--about 20 minutes. (That dog  has NO dignity at all.)

 We made sure the back yard was the same, and the water dishes were in the  right places and full. And the house hadn't changed.

AND look what was waiting for us!

 We got a dozen...yes, that's right...12 Christmas cards today SHE only got two. We opened all of them!

SHE brought us some People Crackers back from the USA.  Frankie gave us some last year and we just loved them.  So SHE got us six packets.  We gave our friend Millie one of them.

 

 We didn't get to take any of our Christmas treats to the kennel camp, so we DEMANDED a few when we got home. (SHE was feeling guilty at leaving us for three weeks....in the heat as SHE should.  We didn't tell her that we got the air conditioned rooms....but we think Debbie, the camp director did.)

Anyway, it was starting to heat up for the day, so we got on a big bed in front of the air conditioner and fan, for a sleep.

 And later, Bella watched a program about macaque monkeys.  

She missed the television.

It's still pretty hot....just over 100 F (38 C), so we stayed inside in the cool.  But don't worry, we looked out the window and let everyone....especially the cats...know that we were are BACK!

We can't believe we missed Madi's coronation inauguration.  Sounds like it was way beyond fun!

Thanks for your concern about the fires.  The ones closest to us are still several hours' drive away.  We are safe, but we feel sorry for all the people and animals affected.

He came!!!!

Yes!!!  Santa has been here! 

Put that camera away!  We smell peanut butter!

I, Daisy, am opening the package for all of us from Dougall and Floyd--Beef Liver Chips!!!!  We love them!

Here's most of our loot.

Can you read this one????!!!

I, Daisy, helped myself to some luscious peanut better cookies made by our friend Zuleika.

 

SHE said I was naughty because I stole took the cookies.  Then we went for our early morning walk.  SHE said we were very naughty because we terrorised wanted to meet a small, white fluffy dog. 

BUT it doesn't MATTER because He already came!  We have a long time until next Christmas...now, where are our Christmas bones.

We hope Santa is good to you, too.  

Have a wonderful Christmas!

Christmas Eve

After a 100 F day, it has finally cooled down enough for us to go outside.  

We were each allowed to open one of our presents.  We chose the individual ones from Dougall and Floyd.

I, Daisy, opened my present first!

Roxy tried to take it!

I helped Bella open hers.

She got a squeaky octopus

Then I helped Roxy

She got a great rope toy with a ball.

Roxy tried to take all the toys.

But we got them back!

Look, I already removed an eye!

Thanks Dougall and Floyd, you chose well.

  We love them. 

 We have to are saving the package to all of us to open tomorrow on Christmas Day!

It's dark now and time for bed.  Santa will be here soon...

O Christmas Tree....O Christmas Tree...

Did you notice our paw-thetic Christmas Tree?

 Come on, we know you did....you were just too polite to comment.

 We've been looking at all of your lovely trees, with special ornaments and beautiful decorations.

Ooooo a rare sighting of HER in the glass!

 Ours is a cheap-o thingy that only changes colour when you plug it in.  No ornaments.  Our usual tree is still packed away.

There is a reason.

On the 26th, Boxing Day, we're going to the kennel 'camping' for THREE WEEKS while SHE

goes to San Antonio, Texas.

The tree can just be packed in the box easily.

So we won't be blogging because we don't have a laptop or thumbs.

We will let you know all about our Christmas day though....

And be back in Blogville about January 17th.

News Flash

It's the 21st and we're still here.....just letting you know.  So far, so good!  BOL!

Look, what happened this afternoon.  

A stranger arrived at our house. 

 We were all outside to let him know whose house he was approaching.  But he just said, 'Quiet....it's for you.'

 And it was!

Smells interesting...

 Oooooooo, Bella, you should see all the stuff.

 There's a present for each of us AND one for ALL of us!

 They smell just like Dougall and Floyd.

 They're our Christmas Gift Exchange partners organised by Jazzi.

Whaddya mean we have to WAIT!

Thanks Dougall and Floyd!

We don't know how we're going to wait...

Wordless Wednesday......sort of....
