New Friend in the 'Hood

So, we're out walking and decide to take the back path because the sun's out and it's pretty dry. We stroll past a house that we've walked by a million times before . . . . but this time, there's someone in the backyard . . . .

Christmas Beardie

We loaded Stella in the car on Christmas morning and headed up to Tigard to celebrate Christmas Day at my sister's house. Although Stella didn't make it up for the Thanksgiving festivities, she was NOT to be denied on Christmas.

She did great. Slept through most of it, but managed to rouse herself to help my brother-in-law while he was in the kitchen . . . you know how that goes.

Somewhere between gifts and dinner, she had a moment with my nephew Geoff.

There she is with that "Omigawd ANOTHER picture?" look.  I get that glare often. I say to her, "Just smile and hold still."

Aren't We Done Yet?

So much Christmas shopping to do. So little time.

A treat would help . . .

Stella's Beauty Schedule 2012

The other day Sydney reminded me that it was time to make Stella's grooming appointments for the coming new year. Hmmm, I thought and continued to think about it for several days.

Should I make just three appointments - January, February, and March? Should I go out further?

A couple of weeks later, it came time for Stella's December appointment - a much needed appointment, I might add. I had to have the schedule in hand when I walked through the door.

So here's what Stella and I decided to do:

Yep. We made appointments to take us through the whole darn year!

Thank you Dr. B!

Barely Keeping Up . . . .

Me, that is. Stella has so much energy especially during cold weather that when we were out walking today I had to race walk to keep up with her!

Down the path, through the leaves, and gathering them in her face all the way!
