Holiday Week

Here is the gallery.

Tobi - a Hallie pup came to join us just for the day while his family are doing festivities tonight for Christmas eve. He is so excited to be here and thoroughly pleased with having so many to play with. 

We have an amazingly fun house today. The dogs are so excited.

Quinn departed today and I will tell you waggy tail to see his mom. You will also see him in the gallery playing with Nathan jumping up and down with excitement. He was a joy to have here. We so enjoyed him.

Sherry and I exchange gifts for the holiday so I am busy making her things she wants with my 3d printer and she is buying me a 4 pack of filament. Filament is what is used and melted down to create.  I just started and 30 minutes later the 1st may be done. I made a can holder for the fridge for Dennis. That took 11 hours. LOL No wonder why some people have several printers as some of this stuff takes forever but fun to watch. I really didn't want a 3d printer. I actually wanted an engraver but here I am learning and actually having fun. I have a long way to go but I am learning. I have already gone through a spool of filament already and I suspect many more will end up empty. 

We are going to watch the last Pluribus tonight. 

Looks like Jersey departs tomorrow and Gucci arrives.

I have done 365 days of exercise without missing a day. Today was a year. I am shocked that I stuck with it this long and it has been this long since I started. It helps me manage stress and gets me healthy so I can be all I can be for Nathan, the dogs, our kids and every one else that I am fond of. 

It is icy out there. We have a ton of that dog safe out in front to stop anyone from slipping. I wish they sold this stuff in a huge bucket full. Maybe they do and I just don't know where to get it.

The dogs are about to eat and Nathan just made them steak to add into their food. I wonder why he didn't make me one. LOL

Happy Holiday season everyone!
