We're Here to Say ...

It's that time.

Time to say

Merry Christmas

Happy Holidays

And to wish all of our Friends a wonderful holiday season together

Full of Joy

Brimmed with Celebration.

Flowing with Love.

It's a busy time of the year.

but one that deserves some quiet reflective time

together

with time to pause

and to consider the real reasons for the season.

Whatever the faith.

Whatever the beliefs.

It's a time to realize, appreciate and enjoy the Gifts we've been given.

Including each other.

This was last year's Christmas pose.

In our funny Christmas slippers.

We decided to share it.

Moma just didn't quite pull it off

to get a new picture for this year.

But since no one

(or at least few of our readers)

saw this last year

We'll use to to share our Greetings.

The spirit is still there.

And it makes Moma and our NinaGirl smile

when they see it.

We want them to smile

and to know that even though we aren't together for the holidays

we are in good care

with someone who loves us

and understands.

We are with our Rescue Angel

Miss Peggy

PJ

who made Moma promise that if ever she needed to leave town

that she must never kennel us

but instead bring us back to her to be cared for.

So here we are!

Our people are tender-hearts

and

It was sad to say good bye.

But we'll be fine

Better than fine.

We'll be loved and treated very specially.

Besides

There's a big island to pace around

And sometimes we can even pace together.

(Maybe I'll lose some of my "fat")

Moma brought my blankie

(Well, okay, NinaGirl's blankie - but it smells like home)

and I found a big bed

(Moma said it was okay if I got up on it

Plus, there's a doggie ramp that leads to it

So it must be just fine.)

Jakey found the sofa

Which is not only comfy

but opens to beautiful views.

and we promised to write.

Every once in a while.

This is harder for our people, really

than it is for us.

We'll be fine.

Better than that.

We'll have a good time.

We noticed that Moma brought our Christmas stockings.

We know where the treat jar is.

Miss Peggy always gives us a cookie before bed.

and

She loves us.

Besides

We've got some fun adventures in store

and

After we've been here a while

We'll let our Rescue Angel in on our plans.

We think she'll agree.

And we'll all have a grand time.

So.

In case we don't get much opportunity to come visit everybody

Know that we're thinking of you.

Hoping your holidays are filled with Joy.

We love you

Merry Christmas

Happy Holidays
