puppy play date

We had a puppy play date at our friend's, Jake and Penny's house.  Our friend Johnny came over too and brought little Addie.  Penny made an amazing dinner of Baked Mostocholi!  It was SO good!  And Stella and Luna were so happy getting to play with all of their friends!  We also did a gift exchange between the dogs, so they were so thrilled to play with all their new toys.  The biggest hit was the edible Christmas cards that Johnny got for all the dogs.  You can buy them here.

We are so greatful to be able to spend time with such wonderful people!  And it's also great to let the dogs get all their energy out ;)

Dogsit

Last week Friday, we had a little visitor to our house!  Our friend, Johnny, was going to Chicago for the day and asked if I would be willing to watch his puppy, Addie, for the day.  Of course, I jumped at the opportunity to spend the day with a puppy!  She was so cute and so sweet!  

 Stella taught her to play, and they played like crazy!  Luna, on the other hand, absolutely hated her.  :(  She is a major Mamma's girl, and didn't like that the puppy was taking my attention and snuggling with me.  As a mother to 6 litters, I would say she has a right to not like puppies if she doesn't want to.

Luna had to make sure that the puppy didn't spend any time with me without her there

And this is me getting no work done, because Luna refused to let the puppy sit on my lap without her being there.

So overall it was a fun day!  But I did learn that maybe we won't be getting a puppy or puppy foster anytime soon.  At least for Luna's sake.  Too bad because puppies are so cute and snugly!!!

Christmas Tea

 Yesterday I made the long drive (about 7 hours round trip) to visit my sister, Sara, and go to the Christmas tea at her church.  I decided not to stay with her over night because I made Christmas cookies with my mom and Grandma today.  Anyways, the Christmas tea was a BLAST!  I got to meet all of Sara's Northwoods friends.  It was a lot of fun dressing up and listening to the story of Jesus's birth and all of the wonderful music!  Glad I made the long drive, and hopefully will be able to go again next year! :)
