Throwback Thursday ~ Merry Christmas!

This is us for Hootie's first Christmas with the family.  Look how sweet he once was is.  Santa wasn't sure what to do with such a wiggly, little brat pooch!  If we don 't get back here before the new year, 2015, we want to wish our friends a very Happy Chanukah and Merry Christmas, too!!  Sending out lots of love and best wishes to all, especially our buddies who are struggling with health problems.  We love you all!

A Walk Near Squaw Peak

Mom and Dad with the two of us. Whose bum is that behind us?? We'll never tell. Bol!!
That handsome fellow holding our leads is Dad! Mom took that picture looking for shadows.

We went for an awesome walk near our condo a couple days ago. The folks and our hooman sissy and her husband all walked up the little peak right where we live. That Christmas tree made out of lights is put on the hill every year by the Point Hilton, who is our next door neighbor. At night it looks like a real tree. There were lots of cacti and other thorny plants too. We didn't see any rattle snakes or critters, though we know that there are javalina, quail, roadrunners and bobcats on that hill. It was lots of fun going with the whole family. Then when we got home, we all took a nice, lonnnnnng rest!

You Will Never Guess Our Wonderful Surprise!!

Today Daddy took us both out to Smelly Dog ( http://www.smellydogaz.com ) to get our hairs washed & nails clipped. Not our favorite thing to do, but we got to be with our dad, so we were happy. When we returned home, to our great amazement and surprise, this is what we saw over the fireplace! Take a good look pooches and poochettes. Yes, an Airedale and a Welsh Terrier were both at the first Christmas!! We were so happy to see that, because we have heard all the cool things that Jesus did when He grew up and how He is waiting for us on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge with all our friends. As Christians, our folks are getting ready to celebrate one of their high holy days and are reflecting on all Jesus has done for them in their lives, and giving thanks. We are just thrilled that we can play a small part in that!!

Jazzi's Gift Exchange Surprises!

Today we went to the Post Office and picked up a package that arrived while we were in Seattle for the Christmas holiday. (*Actually two packages from Rockford, IL...long story for later.) It was from our buddies in Jazzi's gift exchange, Lil and Angus!! Lil and Angus are Scotties and they sent BabyRockegtDog a large stuffie duck and sent me a giant, white, furry moose. Most excellent!! Baby desqeaked and destuffed her duck immediately, so it is now awaiting the stuffie fairy for reconstruction. Actually I ended up helping her by playing tug of war with it. BUT, when I opened my stuffie I wouldn't allow her to come near him. He is so soft and squeaky and mine all mine!! There was even a gift for Mommy from Evil Ed the Basset, Lil and Angus's brother's pooch: Fancy jewelry with hearts and a Scottie. WooWoo!! And last but not least, there were 2, yes, TWO jars of homemade doggy treats (with fancy paper plates and matching napkins!!!). Oh man we're in poochie heaven!! Gotta go now. My moose needs me to hug him some more.

WelshieKisses & Hugs,

Hootie

ps-*BabyRocketDog hopes to have a post with pics in the near future too.

No Presents Under Our Tree...

Here is Hootie posing under our little white Christmas tree. Notice there aren't any gifts there? That's right. Not one. Mom doesn't trust us anymore since I decided to investigate and found I like to shred tissue paper. Boy that was fun! Yesterday we got a really cool surprise: A Santa stuffie from Autumn (an adorable Lakie we met on FB) and I immediately claimed it as my own. I let Hootie have him after I had de-squeeked him. BOL. Hope you all are having fun getting ready for the holiday. We're excited since our daddy will be home tomorrow and the fun will begin! Until we meet again,

Smooches from,

Baby Rocket Dog
