Merry Christmas to all my dog lov'in friends!
It was a challenge getting out a photo a day - especially with the hustle to get those last few gifts!
My house is full once again <3

While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads.

"It says here reindeer can fly off the rooftops... what did you do with your reindeer outfit Becky?"

Books are a fitting prop for today because it marks the 200th Birthday of the Grimm Brothers Fairy Tales. In celebration, a new English version was written and just released by Philip Pullman (author of the Golden Compass).

Becky's Reaction Due To Recent Onslaught of Elf On a Shelf Photographs. 
Long ago, bells were worn and hung on doors during the winter months in the hope the noisemakers would ward off evil spirits that were believed to appear during the dark winter months. Becky has reservations about all the creepy little elves popping up everywhere! Just to be safe, she decided wearing a bell [a rather large bell] might not be a bad idea this holiday season.

And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow,
stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.
~ Dr. Seuss, How the Grinch Stole Christmas

A Bit of Green At Christmas Can Be a Good Thing!

  Green flowers represent renewal, growth, hope, health and youth. It might be a wondrous gift to scatter a few green flowers on a carpet of white snow this Christmas!

Finally. The Christmas tree is safe this year. At 6 years of age, Kodee decided we could leave the xpen down. That is only because she learned the decorations are not as much fun as the presents are!

Celebrating the one and only 12 (day), 12 (month) 12 (year)!
You have no idea how badly Becky wanted to play with the 12 Christmas balls!

I saw a tutorial at "I Heart Faces" on how to create a "Star Burst" effect with Christmas lights. However, I needed to make adjustments to their steps if I wanted to include a live, moving object - a.k.a. Becky, in my version.
Visit "Beyond the Dog Dish" if you want to see how I did it.

Christmas Dog
By Shel Silverstein

Tonight's my first night as a watchdog,
And here it is Christmas Eve.
The children are sleeping all cozy upstairs,
While I'm guardin' the stockin's and tree.

What's that now---footsteps on the rooftop?
Could it be a cat or a mouse?
Who's this down the chimney?
A thief with a beard--- And a big sack for robbin' the house?

 I'm barkin', I'm growlin', I'm bitin' his butt.
He howls and jumps back in his sleigh.
I scare his strange horses, they leap in the air.
I've frightened the whole bunch away.

 Now the house is all peaceful and quiet again.
The stockin's are safe as can be.
Won't the kiddies be glad when they wake up tomorrow
And see how I've guarded the tree.

Let's Negotiate Dasher!
If that sack is loaded with cookies, let's cut a deal.
You hand over the goodies and I won't tell Becky where your at!

not even Miz Becky
who had thoughts of reindeer antlers
dancing through her head.

Oh Dear Santa will you ever forgive me? Madness just swept down and took control of me.

The Background Story

20121203-059_Dec4

I had just finished a game of fetch with my person and had hunkered down for a good snuggle. Suddenly I became overwhelmed with the acute desire to give your nose just a small nibble. I truly mean this Santa; I meant you no harm.

20121203-080_Dec4

Have I been banished to the "Naughty List" forever! I just know Kodee is never going to let me forget the day I ripped off Santa Claus's nose.

Her Royal Highness Miss Kodee
Happy 6th Birthday Miss Kodee!

A rather perfect photo for today seeing it is Miss Kodee's 6th Birthday! We are so very happy she rules our house and hearts (although Lady in Waiting, Miz Becky does challenge that at times).

Oh My! The gals had a little Boudoir Furtography session going on at Beyond the Dog Dish this week - run over for a peek and give them a tail wag.
