Bah Humbug!

Yep.  I was Scrooge this Christmas.  Not because I hate the holiday...because I don't.  Not because of the weather...I love that we haven't had to deal with snow or ice yet.  But because I caught that nasty flu bug that's been going around!  Not only did I catch it, but it only affected me on my 4 day weekend!  I was fine the last day of work before holiday, and I'm fine today back at work!  Not fair!  Ugh!  Unfortunately, it means the dogs didn't get to travel with me for the holidays, and I didn't take any Christmas pictures of them.  So I'm sorry.  But I do want to say all of the dogs were exceptionally well behaved while I was on my deathbed.  Isn't it amazing when they can just tell that their person isn't feeling well, so they behave even better for them?  We spent a nice, quiet 4 days on the couch, all cuddled up in blankets.  Even Ruthie and Jett cuddled with me!  Yes, when they're good...they're really good.  I really appreciated that from each of them!

All About Ruth

 Ruthie is my little ball of energy.  It's so difficult to get a good picture of her, because she's always moving.

Is it playtime yet?

Who can resist these puppy dog eyes?

Soooooo tired!

Hardy's butt makes a really comfy pillow

Who wants a Ruthie for Christmas?

Everyone should!  She's a doll!

Just look at how calmly she plays with this tennis ball:

And look how much fun she has playing tug-of-war with Jett:

Hi! My name is Jett, and I'm Adorable!

Tippy is the guy in the back like "what is this crazy dog doing?"

Some Weekend Pics

Last Friday, my poor Hardy-bear had to have 8 teeth pulled (plus one more fell out on its own).  The vet tells me it's common with dogs his size (~5lbs) that they have overcrowding.  So he's had a rough weekend of eating soft food and taking pain meds.  I was also having a rough weekend due to allergies.  So we basically all spent the weekend just sitting on the couch.

It's about time I post pics from Thanksgiving!

I know, I know...I'm a little slow.  If you've been following my blog for any length of time, you should already know that.  :-)  Anyway, here are some cute photos from Thanksgiving weekend!

Did I share this video already?  Oh well, it's too cute so I'm going to share it again.  All the dogs in their matching jackets, ready to visit the family!

Ruthie and my nephew (5) got along REALLY well.  He kept asking his parents if he could take home the "grinch dog" (because she looks like Max, not because she's a grinch).

Jett sat like this the whole time we were visiting my dad.  Maybe he thought if he sat like a person, we wouldn't notice him?

Ruthie will make herself comfortable, no matter what the obstacle.  :-)

Jett just begging for more cuddles and tummy rubs!
