The Holidays Are Here

I can't believe Thanksgiving has past and the Christmas season is already here. It comes around amazingly fast. We are beginning the process of hauling the tree and decorations out of the garage. This Christmas will seem strange because it will be the first one in 17 years without Dottie. We found some of her hairs on the tree and it made me feel so sad. We have always had to position the tree to allow for her to pass around it by the window without knocking several ornaments off. Every Christmas morning she would barge through the room while we opened presents, getting in the way of the video camera and stepping on the boxes. It is funny how the little things your pets do that annoy you are the very things you miss when they are gone.

This will always be one of my favorite pictures.
