Hi Joy. Happy holidays..........

Happy Holidays sweetness.. How are you?

Doing good baby. Just trying to stay warm. How is California? Let me guess 70 degrees and sunny.......

it's 79 right now, I had to open up my windows just to cool it down in here, Phew! NOT!

Ohhhhhhhhhh no it's like 60 or so kind of cold here... We're getting rain starting tomorrow and they say it will last throughout the weekend...

I love the rain too, but not good timing---

We are supposed to get an ice storm tomorrow. I dread these things. You always lose power. I don't think I moved far enough south.

Oh that bites... I fully advocate my friends moving to Cali..

there is always room for one more car on our roads, Do you like traffic by the way??

I have been there a few times. I didn't really care for it but I was in LA. I did like Santa Barbara. Very cool scenery....

Ok this is the weirdest thing.. My dog will walk into bushes to pee, he'll smell them etc.

I bought the Xmas tree on Sunday and it's setup away from the wall until I get the lights on (hopefully tomorrow) but it's close to the coffee table... My dog refuses to walk between the coffee table and the tree, he either jumps over the corner of the coffee table or goes through the couch and coffee table under my legs..

I'm trying to figure out why he's so freaked out by the tree being so close to the coffee table..

Mind you he's a 75# boxer, not a little dog where it's easy to go under a coffee table/mom's legs..

thats hilarious, maybe he is afraid it will scratch his eyes out like a cat. (texture)

santa barbara is gorgeous, that whole area is awesome. . .also much more low key---


well i am off to bed. have a good night lady and gent.

Poor thing. You freaked him out. Why is a tree in my living room and how am I supposed to resist the urge to pee on it........

I don't know, he is a dork.. Seriously this dog makes me wonder sometimes, for the money you pay for an AKC... LOL.. He is smart in so many ways and soooooo dumb in others...

I've been so worried about that Jeff... He's had a few accidents in the house lately and I had the carpets cleaned on Sat. I was going to have him in his crate all day every day b/c I was so mad.. But I really didn't want to do that so I've left him as usual in the house and since Sunday with the tree.. I was really worried that he'd think "oh, she brought "outside" to me!" but he's been fine.. Maybe the tree did scare him and I need to keep it all year...

Bred dog with papers. That explains it. It's like the really smart kid in school that got straight A's but couldn't figure out how to tie there own shoes.........

you think so? My kids always tease me that I got the rahtarded one... But this dog was swimming and cleaning toys out of the pool at 3 mos.. I've never seen a dog dog do that.. He's as agile as they come.. He knows when I'm talking to him and he'll do what I say unless he doesn't want to then he'll look at me and then look away, all he while giving me sideways glances... I swear he makes me laugh so much with the silly things he does..

Sounds like one spoiled rotten dog. Not to burst your bubble but all dogs can swim. It's not called the doggy paddle for nothing........

ok I'm off to bed... g'night all
