Merry Christmas! Mom had to take a couple of weeks of because of her MS, but now we are back! Christmas was a wonderful time around here! I got all kinds of treats and new toys. Mom has been home taking care of us for a week and I think it is great! We all had our pictures taken with Santa, which was kind of scary, but when I realized that he smelled a lot like Dad, I was much happier.

I have been playing tricks on Dad and Mom again. They want me to go to bed when I am not sleepy or ready to get back into my pen, so I just run outside and sit on the hill. Eventually they get tired of chasing or calling me. Dad will usually chase me until he catches me. Mom won’t! She just waits for me to come inside or gets one of the others to get me to follow them inside. I still think the game is a great deal of fun and I will continue to play it as much as I can.

The other day Mom spent hours grooming all of us again. I don’t know why she thinks pulling my hair and raking out all my nice warm under coat is necessary, but she seems to think it is. Someone needs to tell her it is winter and I was prepared for the cold! Speaking of which, it Snowed again for a day. Everything was covered in it including me! I love to run, jump, and roll in the stuff! It is so light and fluffy and tastes good too!
