After-Christmas Post

It looks like we are back to normal at our house after the holidays. Or, as normal as two corgis and a German Shepherd can possibly be.

The tree survived, but only because it never made it out of its box. I think we will put up a real tree next year. Hopefully, Freki will be mature enough to not pull it over- just for fun. I found her pulling limbs off a small shrub in the backyard today, though. So, no promises for next year..

We had a great Christmas. Our Christmas Eve dinner was a success with the family- green chile stew, sweet potato cornbread (a huge hit), home-made salsa with chips and flan for dessert. Yummy!
The Christmas Day menu went to the other side of the family with smoked turkey and a prime rib roast. We had plenty of people to eat it all, with just enough left for a turkey sandwich or two.

Will all the bustle, the dogs were home alone more than I'd like, but they got new toys and seemed fine with the temporary change in their schedule.

If Santa was a bit late arriving at your house, well, it's possible he and his elves were delayed here a bit.

                                       Happy New Year!!
                           From our dog-crazy house to yours!
