Christmas is coming!

And I'm not ready!  Trying to get ready for fifteen extra people is mindboggling, especially for a clutter bug like I am.  Trying though.

One of my sisters arrived two days ago and a second yesterday.  We attended the kennel club Christmas party last night for tons of fun.  My sisters, Caroline and Katy, fit right in!  More people arrive this weekend and Monday and Tuesday from Hawaii, New York, Bellingham and Indiana!  Wow!  Are we gonna have fun or what?!!!!!!

Anybody cold and dreaming of Hawaii like I am?!!!

Christmas Tom.  He lives in Seattle and has inventive parents!!! 

OK.  I know.  Where are the PUPPY pictures?!!!!!  Who needs all this silly stuff?!!!

The babies are about as sweet as they can be now.  They run to my lap for floor time.  They run and jump on all of the equipment on the kitchen floor.  What daredevils!  What sweet babies.  What wonderful puppy breath!  How lucky can one curmudgeon get?!!!

Hey, what's this?!!!!  It is Christmas, not Halloween!

The kids, both canine and human, were lucky last Sunday.  Four girls came to play with seven boys!  They also came to see grown-up Border Terriers, but they didn't really admit that.

Playing puppies get tired out.

Big time.

The girls very much wanted to take their puppies home with them THEN, RIGHT THEN!....

Another tired puppy!

Pip doing double mama duty.

More tired puppies!

I do love seeing their ears relax back when they nurse at this age.  It is a sign of happiness.

They find the cutest places to sleep when they are beat to a frazzle!

Which had more fun, the girls or the puppies?

Snow bells?!  No, snow forecast for the next two days.

Who is dreaming of Hawaii and avocados when it is so nice and gray outside?!!!

You should see Tobi's Christmas picture!

Sunday the puppies went outside for the first time.  They quickly got cold, but thought it a worthy look at the world for a few minutes. 

So, I hope that everyone is going to have as much fun for Christmas as I am.  Merry Christmas and I'll smell puppy breath for you every day!
