Happy Holidays to Everybody, and Happy Birthday to our girls, Lilly and Molly. They were born on Christmas Eve 2013. This has been another trying year for everybody so please take a few minutes to stop and reflect on good things in your life.
So hang the stockings by the chimney with care and have a Merry Christmas, or a great and joyful holiday no matter what holiday you are celebrating this season.
Remember to show everybody the grace and joy in your heart.
Molly, Lilly, Wifo, and DrDan

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? :-)
DrDan
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.
