We were afraid the Christmas tree might faint, like in our FAV photo that comes back around every year on Facebook

You know the one…..

If you took it and captioned it, we love it!!!

This ended our birthday/gotcha month.

However, December is a great month as well.

Dog mom started off the season putting together a gift basket for a local charity to help out some of my fur friends.

 In it she included books from our friends: Jackie Bouchard, Melissa Clinton & Diane Rose-Solomon

Paws & Claws Donation 1 2015

Of course I made sure she included a signed copy of her book as well & I shared a few of my toys & treats (not used) too!

Next time she’ll start earlier and get them directly from our friends so they are all signed.

Dog mom & dad went to their 1st Christmas party of the season

D&D Christmas party 2015

We took a few walks around our neighborhood.  My arthritis makes this hills hard so I hitch rides when we go uphill.

My mischief is…. I run downhill so Dog mom & dad think I might just be playing them a bit.
