Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday to Our Girls

- By - Updated - 23 Comments

Happy Holidays to Everybody. Also, Happy Birthday to our girls Lilly (left) and Molly (right). They were born on Christmas Eve 2013.

Have a great holiday no matter what holiday you are celebrating this season. Now, I need to work on getting five candles to stick on a dog bone, maybe peanut butter.

Editor’s Note: This year, I’m reusing last years picture for a number of reasons.

  1. We have no snow, and due to some medical issues, we have minimal decoration. So I have no good setting that for a holiday picture this year.
  2. Eye surgery has made editing photos temporarily harder.
  3. Last, but by no means least, I think this is one of my best pictures… ever. Look at those smiles.

      Hi Linda,
      Thanks for the note. The photo editing will probably be about another month. And the girls liked the kiss but they licked me.
      Happy Holidays.

    Enjoy your recipes! Am curious about the stuffed toys your dogs have. We have a Golden Retriever who is a stronger chewer. We’ve never given him a soft toy. Can you tell me the brand of yours? And do they hold up? Or just props? :-)

      Thanks for the note.

      Those toys are the $5 holidays ones from PetSmart and definitely not for a chewer. Our girls have “gentle mouths” and never destroy larger toys. Smaller ones sometimes. Those are not props but are new so they are clean. The bunny ones I wanted to use were two week old and too dirty. The Santa toy that is also there is three yrs old.

      There is a brand that we give to people with the dogs that destroy everything, “Fluff and Tuff” about $20 on Amazon. One niece with two large labs which destroy everything. We gave her two. One “died” in 18 months and the second is still “alive” after 2 years. Give them a try.

    My sister and her family just got an English Golden Retriever puppy a couple of weeks ago. I imagine he will look similar to yours when he grows up. Have a merry Christmas. I enjoy following your blog on Pinterest.

    Oh wow! I’ve followed you and enjoyed your recipes for most of this year, and yet didn’t realize your beautiful girls were born on Christmas Eve. Keep those delicious recipes and pics of the gals coming. They always brighten my day.

    Well, Merry Christmas to you and yours and those pretty pups. (pretty feisty no doubt :)
