Belated Christmas Chaos

We wanted to share some of our Christmas morning chaos with you, but felt like we had to get those New Year's greetings to you first!  We had such a fun time opening gifts and enjoying all the goodies Santa Paws brought us.

We had our stockings hung in anticipation of finding lots of goodness in them the next morning.  Mommy and Daddy really struggled to find the perfect stocking for Ruger.  Hunter's, Dixie's, and Jenna's stockings have each been the pawfect choice since each of us turned out to look just like the dawg on our stockings.  Mommy finally decided to shop for a stocking that looked just like Hunter's but it apparently doesn't exist any more.  She felt like she settled on the one that's hanging here, but it was the best choice from her options.  (Then she chose the right font, but realized too late that she forgot to tell the embroidery people to put the letters of Ruger's name in all caps!  Oh well!  Only time will tell if Ruger looks like the dawg on the stocking . . .

The next morning the stockings were so full they were too heavy to hang.  We each had tennis balls, rawhide candy canes, stuffing-free critters, and more!

One of the coolest gifts we received was a sweet potato treat on a rope.  Mommy and Santa Paws thought for sure this would last a while . . . they were both WRONG!  Ruger enjoyed his treat on one of the beds in the master bedroom, while Dixie hid in her crate to eat hers!  Our parents finally had to take them away from us for fear we'd get sick from eating too much at once!

Ruger also received a new blanket.  He seems to be channeling our big brother Hunter in his love for chewing on blankets.  Mommy just buys the $5 fleece at Walmart and therefore has no regrets when it's trashed later on!

Jenna was wiser than anyone gave her credit for . . . she sat a good bit of the day waiting for more edible treats to find their way out of the stockings!

All of this opening presents is ruff work!

We hope you had a very Merry Christmas!
Dixie, Jenna & Ruger
