Dogs LOVE Christmas!

Our Cairns love Christmas. This is a photo from Christmas 2007. We always have a stocking of toys for Molly and Jack to open. Some of their stocking gifts are their old toys that I wrapped up. They just enjoy the unwrapping process so much and it's a fun activity for them.

Jack especially loves toys that talk. This year we got him replacement #3 of the Pip Squeak Duck dog toy, some kind of goofy toy called a Deedle Dudes cow and a Skinneeez skunk.

Speaking of skunks, Molly got sprayed by a skunk today while we were out on our walk. Oh boy ... another story for another day!

Hunting Season and Pets

It will be deer hunting season here soon and that means our area of the country will be inundated with people dressed in orange and non-stop gun fire from daylight to dark. We live in a rural area that is a hot spot for deer hunters, and to someone who doesn't hunt but who does a lot of outdoor exercising and dog walking it can be quite frightening.

Last year I bought Molly and Jack their own little day-glow orange vests from the coolest dog supply resource, Ugly Dog Hunting Company. (Funny name!) It was tough finding a dog hunting vests small enough to fit my little Cairns, but they work okay. Darn if they aren't just the cutest little four-legged furballs! Wouldn't you agree?

Need I say more ... "Life is good" ... it's very good! :)
