Pre-Christmas Rant

Just a brief, pre-Christmas tirade.
My carpet is not toilet paper!

As the holiday approaches, things are getting hectic here (as with the rest of you), and I’ve been trying to keep the house reasonably clean so that I don’t have a major sanitizing effort on Christmas Eve, along with cooking/wrapping/etc.

But Emmeline and Abigail are not helping.

Every time I push the vacuum back into the closet, satisfied that we’re reasonably presentable, one of them decides it’s time to drag her butt across the living room.

They’ve always been indoor dogs, but if it weren’t -22 here (counting windchill) I would shove their furry behinds outside and leave them there, whining pitifully at the back door, until the holidays are over!

As you view the pictures, perhaps you are thinking, "What kind of woman owns a black dog and a white dog? Does she view dog hair as an accessory, to be sported on her clothing every season of the year? Or, does she think a light coating of fur makes an otherwise drab room?"
No, she's just a sucker for a cute puppy.

Aarrrghh!

  7. I love my dogs, but my puppy (under 1 year) still doesn't have the hang of the going outside thing.

    Anyone have a sausage recipe?

    They are loud, barking, annoying, shedding, loving and wonderful dogs.
