We Are Ready For Santa!

Mama said we are ready for Santa to visit!  This weekend we finished up all the Christmas cards and the last batch is in the mailbox today.  We sent out a lot since it's my first Christmas and our first Christmas in our new home.

We hung up our stockings.  We don't have a fireplace, but took an idea from my sister, Bunny, and hung them on a shelf.

Mama hung some stained glass snowflakes on our windows.  She has a lot of them because in their old house, they had a lot of windows.  We are hoping that they stop the birds from flying into our window.  We had three crash into it last week.

I heard Mama tell Daddy that she ordered us something on the Internet.  Scout said she thinks it's Burpdog Biscuits.  She said they are so good!  She and Jack had them when they visited Abilene a few years ago.  They call them doggy crack on Greytalk because dogs go crazy over them.   I don't think I will be able to wait for Christmas to eat some if they are that good.  Did I tell you that I put my front feet on the kitchen counter when our Christmas cards arrived?  I thought it had to be a package for me.  I got in trouble.  I have to be better because Santa is watching and I'm still supposed to be careful with my leg.

Oh, Mama said to say thanks to Mary for telling us about the injured eagle.  The report yesterday sounded good, but they are doing more tests on her.  You my remember that the Mom to the eagles was killed last year, well, the father has a new mate so hopefully there will be more eaglets this year.

We Saw Santa!

Mama and Daddy took us to see Santa today. I was not impressed. I guess he was nice enough, but Petsmart was noisy. We had to stand in line to pay for our picture and this big white dog that was two people up from us tried to attack Scout. It was scary. Mama and Daddy are always careful with us because we don't understand what other breeds are. We only know greyhounds. This white dog came through two people trying to get to Scout. A few minutes later, the white dog tried to get another dog and later we heard it going after another dog. It scared me and Scout. I was all nervous when the Santa man tried to get me to pose for my photo after that white dog incident. Scout smiled though and did a thing with her ears that Mama had never seen before but said it was cute. They wanted to keep taking pictures of us, but Mama said I was stressing out too much. Mama promised me we never had to see Santa again because it was just too scary with those "mean" dogs around. She said all she wanted was to get a photo of Scout and me with Santa and now she has it, so no more Santa pictures for us.



On the way home, we stopped at the park and we walked. I think we should have done that instead of seeing that Santa man.

Photos Jack Would Rather Forget

Jack here again.... Mama pulled out holiday pictures from the past few years. Do you want to see what she has done to me.?

These are from 2006.

First she tried the Santa hat. Nope, I am not going to look happy.



Then she tried the elf hat. Is she serious? This is so embarrassing.

Finally, this is the photo that was chosen for the 2006 holiday card. I'm wearing a Santa tie and not a stupid hat. I think it was the best choice. She wanted to have me in my jammies, but Daddy vetoed that.
