Happy New Year's Eve

Here is a small gallery.

It remains cold. Dogs go in and out but do not stay outside long except dogs like Chai, Rain and Stryker. Maybe they embrace this winter as they should. I found myself going out back and dealing with ice. I was nervous. Dennis walks out there like nothing and so do the dogs. Me, I hold on to everything. I am certainly a woose as I get older.

Still, I ran around like a fool inside with the dogs. I got in extra exercise and had fun.

I am working on creating a watch stand that I can insert my charger in. It is printing now but will need to be assembled. I hope it comes out. I printed it in a deep metallic blue and bronze gold. It still prints away till 8pmish. 

Many dogs were groomed and departed. The last to go will be Coco the maltese. She has been a real hoot this trip. She gets everyone paying attention to her and they all do. 

Tonight Nathan will go to bed at 930pm and I will attempt to stay up. I never make it. I may be awake at midnight but certainly in bed. The dogs just don't get this craziness. I am not sure I do.

But here is to a sensation 2026 to everyone!! Stay safe, healthy and smile - and if so inclined dance like you mean it and you soon will!
