getting along, outside

we had a nice day yesterday. the sun was shining and the girls had a nice visit on the patio. for some reason, they seem to get long better when they are outside. inside, they are a bit more standoffish.

happy hump day

the three amigas

the grand-dogs have arrived for the holidays. ay caramba, going from a one dog home to a three dog home is quite an adjustment. each dog is used to being the only dog and now they are thrown together and are expected to get along. easier said than done, right?

that said, the three "amigas" have put their differences aside so i could get a family portrait. and because they know if they behave there will be treats. BOL

"YAPPY HOWLIDAYS!"

christmastime fun

bailey + christmas garland = christmastime fun

did you notice the nutcracker photobombing the top picture? he's the latest addition to my nutcracker collection: steinbach chubby black forester.

"if you need me, i'll be right here, under my nice, warm afghan."

dinner by the fire

we've had a few cold days lately, so bailey has been enjoying her dinner by the fire. oh and yes, that is bailey's pink christmas tree. BOL

until we meet again my friends-

shenanigans

i think bailey was trying to get even with me for making her wear her christmas tree hat.

but her shenanigans didn't dissuade me . . .

i'm patient . . .

and after she had her fun, i got the shot i wanted.

until we meet again my friends-

got treats?

"i smell treats."

"do you have treats?"

"i think you have treats."

"i like treats."

"nom nom nom"

"got any more?"

until we meet again my friends-

note to self: never leave an open bag of treats on the floor

"ooh, i smell something yummy."

"sniff sniff"

"oh dawg, i love these treats!"

"if only i could reach in and grab a handful. hmm, maybe if i "accidentally" knock it over, i can grab some before mommy can pick them all up."

"or i could just pour on my chihuahua charm. that always works."
