Joy to the World!

Sailor here.

I am joyous!

I am bouncy!

I love everybody!

Especially Mom!

Double Bah Humbug

Sailor here.

Bah.

Humbug.

All Dressed Up

Jib here.

Mom and I rehearsed. We were on stage.

We danced. And danced.

Mom says it was a dress rehearsal. I wore my vest. Mom wore her bow tie.

We danced. And danced.

I got cheese!

Awww

Jib here.

Awww....

Bah

Sailor here.

I have a hot spot. It is not hot; it is crusty. Mom keeps it crusty with this powder. And she keeps me from licking it.

So I am in my towel cowl.

I am not happy.

Mom says the BahHumbug season isn't for another week.

I disagree.

Humbug.

My boy

Jib here.

Here's my boy.

I love him.

He loves me.

I kiss him.

He drools in my fur.

Mom says it's Karma.

Whoever she is.

Me. Baby herder

Jib here.

They left the youngest puppy alone. Alone outside.

They went far away. Far, far away. Some fast trots away. Mom says they were right there. Right on the other side of the bricks. But I thought it was too far.

So I watched the youngest puppy. I made sure he was safe. I made sure he was happy.

I let him pull himself up on my ruff.

I let him poke my nose.

I let him run and followed him.

He let me boop him in the bum.

He let me kiss his finger.

He let me love him.

And I let him love me back.

Thirteen on the Thirteenth

Sailor here.

Mom says today is my birthday! I am thirteen. Thirteen whole years old.

Mom says that's pretty old for a collie, but that I am going strong.

I AM going strong! My front end works great. My tummy works great. My teeth work great.

My hearing is different and my rear end is always confuzling, but I am GREAT!

I am thirteen!

Steak all around.

Funny Tessie

Jib here.

Tessie looks funny. She smells funny, too. She has something wrapped around her tummy. And her chest. And her neck.

Mom says that's because it's winter. She says Tessie is wearing a sweater.

But Tessie's feet aren't damp. Her tongue isn't dripping.

I don't think the sweater is working.

Holy Cow!

Jib here.

Mom is extra happy. I Quited!!!!! No more Not Quite's for me!

I am now Legendhold Two If By Sea, CDX (among

other things).

I sat. And sat. And sat. AND SAT!! And Mom almost cried she was so happy.

She was happy with our green ribbon. She was happy with our red ribbon. And she was overjoyed with our big Title ribbon. It is green and yellow. And big!

I was happy with my cow. My very own cow! It squeaks! It has stuffing! Now, to take it apart....
