Season's Greeting and remember Spay and Neuter your Pets!

You were given a Life!

Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house,

not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,

in hopes that Saint Nicholas soon would be there.

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,

with nary a thought of the dog in their heads.

And Mama in her kerchief and I in my cap,

knew he was cold, but who cared about that?

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,

I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.

Away to the window I flew like a flash,

the dog must be loose; he's into the trash!

The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow,

gave the luster of mid-day to objects below.

When what to my wondering eyes should appear,

but Santa Claus with eyes full of tears.

He unchained the dog, once so lively and quick,

last year's Christmas gift, now thin and sick.

More rapid than eagles, he called the dog's name,

and the dog went right to him, despite all his pain.

Now DASHER, now DANCER, now, PRANCER and VIXEN!

On COMET on CUPID on DONNER and BLITZEN!

To the top of the porch! To the top of the wall!!

Let's find him a home where he'll be loved by all!!

I knew in an instant there were no gifts this year.

For Santa had made our mistake very clear.

The gift of a dog is not just for the season,

we had gotten a pup for all the wrong reasons.

In our haste to think of a gift for the kids,

there was something important that we had missed.

A dog should be family, and cared for the same.

You don't give a gift, then put it on a chain.

And I heard him exclaim as he flew out of sight,

"YOU WERE GIVEN A GIFT!! YOU WERE GIVEN A LIFE."

Pictures, Pictures...

I need some pictures of Raider for the Addison Dogs calendar so I have been taking lots of pictures! The pups had fun and so did I but would be nice to have three arms, one to throw a ball and two to take pictures..

                             I totally am in love with the first one with Caley and Raider.

Raider is sticking his tongue out at me.

Where did the ball go...

 My Girl

 Look at those ears lol

She is patiently waiting for me to throw the ball.

 Are you sure you threw the ball out there, I don't see it..

 Got it!!



Chauncy 8 weeks post ACL surgery

This is Chauncy at 8 weeks post Traditional ACL Repair. He is still on restrictions. He only goes outside on leash and we are still not allowing him to do stairs but he was cleared for stairs 2 weeks ago. But since we have the ramp there is no reason for him to do stairs. He is doing two 20 mins walks a day although that won't happen today, too much rain. He got a short one before the sky opened up and we beat it inside..
