Letters to Santa

Tales and Tails have written letters to Santa from their dogs... I know it sounds silly, but it kind of sounds fun. Just like how i really wish I had taken them for photos with Santa.

Here's one from Daisy.

Dear Santa,

I hope you can find me. I've switched homes from last year, but I'm so very happy at my new home, with my new mom and dad, and even with my obnoxious little brother. I've been a very good girl this. I never get in trouble, and I always come when called. I know there have been a few times I got lost, and a few times I had accidents in the house, but I know my way home, and the vet fixed my leaky bladder.

For Christmas, I want you to bring Caper his own bed. I really don't like sharing the one brown bed we have. He sometimes thinks it's his, but it's really mine. But aside from that, I dont need anything. I don't really like toys and I really don't want any toothbrushes, though I do know that mom and dad would like that very much!

Anyways, I'll try not to wake mom and dad with my barking when you come to visit. Though you'll need to be super quiet and come in when I can't see or hear you.

Always good,
Miss. Daisy.


Here's one from Caper

Dear Santa,

It's my first Christmas. Mom keeps talking about presents and people, and the house looks totally different now. I think I've been nice, but I might have been more naughty. It's not my fault! I'm still a puppy and I'm still learning. I love chewing on things, so for Christmas can you bring me some more toys, maybe some with out stuffing, since mom and dad get angry when the stuffing is sprayled across the floor of the living room. I love the squeakiest ones possible please!

Also, I'm thinking that the best Christmas gift would be training lessons. I don't come when called, and I 'm not very well behaved. Daisy could also use some work and thne mom and dad would love us more.

Let Mrs. Claus know that I don't need any clothes. My poodle coat is warm enough, and I dont want to look ridiculous. how am I supposed to get the ladies?

Thanks! I'll try to be better, and stop chewing and eating on everything.

Christmas Photos

With Christmas now looming, Eric and I took advantage of our decorated tree/house and our nice outfits (for a friends wedding) and attempted to use our timer to take some family photos. 

If only it was easy to get the dogs cooperating! 

"The Girls"

"The Boys"

Christmas love. :) 

Eric played around with our Sony Nex5R and figured out how to use the applications to hook it up to our phones so we can use our phones to set off the timer.

Christmas Puppy Outfits

In October I talked about dressing up my dogs for Halloween. I never did.

Now it's December. I've been looking for the perfect Christmas outfit for my pups.

After much searching, I found them. They are perfect. I found them at Winners. 

This is how I think Caper feels about his Santa Suit. 

It has a matching hat, but you try getting a dog to wear a hat! I think he hates it because it makes him too warm. He's getting his Christmas hair cut soon. It'll be good. 

Daisy is super sweet in her dress. She loves wearing clothes.

Well, I'm not sure if she LOVES IT. But she definitly doesn't mind it.

My little underbite dog.

First Family Christmas. Love. Lots of love.

Christmas Tree Time

This past week, Eric and I finally found some time to go get ourselves a Christmas tree.

Myself, I'm used to trees from my grandparents backyard/farm or the Christmas tree farm. We usually get beautiful trees. Eric's parents have a fake tree. 

So, Eric being the adventurer he is decided we should go cut one down. 

According to the Forest Ministry in Prince George, you can download this permit and cut down a tree on crown land, usually along highways and power lines. So that's what we did. 

We found an area. Found a tree. And cut it down. It was pretty massively tall. 

Eric with our puppies and the tree, and maybe a saw

Once we got the tree into the garage, Eric cut a good two feet off and we hauled it upstairs.

Apparently that wasn't enough, so the tree had to be shortened. A task dreaded by my husband.

It's not like we don't have a vacumn and can't vacumn up everything.

then the tree was up and in place. For some reason there are no pictures of it up. I'll guess that'll have to wait. I decorated the tree a few days later... more on that :)

Wedding Mondays

It's been a while since I posted about my wedding! But today's post isn't really about my actually wedding, but a wedding related thing related to Christmas. You follow?

What I want to say is that I bought us an ornament to commemorate our wedding this year! yay! I love.

I love ornaments. I'm an ornament fend. I like to collect them from places and events. Provide they are classy and stylish and everything in between. I think I get this from my mother. So, I knew I needed an ornament that recognized our wedding this year.

I couldn't find any except at the card store. And I hated them all at first. But then I just decided if I didn't buy one now, then I'd never get one. So I bought one. And hung it up on my not decorated tree. I must say its not as ugly on the tree as it was in the store!

It's to bad little white dogs are hard to see in the snow. 

Alpha Pi Beta Update - Waffle Breakfast

On Sunday I invited my big and my little over for Waffle Breakfast. I don't know my little very well, but my big and I are besties. So, I thought it'd be a great chance to get to know everyone. Plus, we had a general meeting later that afternoon!

 I think I'm going to make the waffle breakfast an annual tradition for my little family. We are one of the smallest branches of the sorority. Up until last year it was just Marie and I. But, apparently Marie's big has two other sisters in the active who have littles! So that means we are growing! Yay! This is especially nice because the other families outnumber us massively! :)

Serious, The trick to better waffles is Amaretto!

I had the girls bring their favorite waffle topping. What's yours?
For the most part, I enjoy butter and syrup with the occasional topping of whipped cream.
I also enjoy peanut butter banana and syrup - that's thanks to a trip to Omaha, Nebraska and a very fantastic family.

100th Post

Say What?

Already!

I feel as if this post should be influential and profound.

That this post should be something amazing. 

Guess What!

It's not. 

Instead, I'll tell you that one of my new favorite spots to buy dog sweaters is Winners! Who would have thought. I found the best sweaters, unfortunately, they didn't have matching "boy" and "girl" sweaters. 

Daisy tried to put her sweater on this morning. It snowed last night. She gets cold easily.

Caper's sweater is a little small, and he has too much fur, so a tuft sticks out in the stupid hole for the leash. 

I work retail.

Canadian retail has for some reason as grasped onto this idea of 'Black Friday' --- *rolls eyes*

It will be fun! 

In other news, I'm finishing up my Christmas Decorating.

Can't wait to get my tree in December (no trees till at least December 1st)! 

Hubby said we can get a real one! :D 

Now the Christmas Baking will start next week!

What's your favorite christmas recipe?

Caper is a professional Monkey hunter. His favorite toys are shaped like monkeys.
This squeaky toy is no exception. This is him plotting his next attack.
The monkey better watch out!
