X-mas is coming

My tree is up, all my christmas cards so far, are on the walls. The house smells of blooming Hyacints and incense and all my candle holders for x-mas are burning cosily.

The Boys and I are ready for Christmas. But with a sad twist as Clara and Billy are not with us this year. Then again, my little Devil Todd celebrates his first x.mas with us and he is still eyeing the ornaments with drool in his mouth LOL. The tree has survived so far, touch wood.

I feel blessed!

I don`t really like christmas. It usually wasn`t a Joyous time for me. But THIS year seems to break the pattern. I have received lots of gorgeous cards and greeting. And allready a couple of wonderful and thoughtful gifts.I am moved to tears.

And from Heather:

NEWS!!

I forgot to tell you:

I have been asked to give a Basset Hound boy a new home. His name is Agathon. He is 6 and a half years old. How can I refuse?? Just look at him:

He`ll be coming home to us on January the 12th!!

The boys have stopped looking for illy now. But I still call his name sometimes. It is so hard when they leave us!


But The Boys are a great help and comfort. And young Todd makes sure I am on my toes.LOLOL


He has made a new invention:


Ear Hangers! Take one stick, and Voila :

Rest in Peace Billy

My gorgeous Billy went to the bridge today.

It was not his kidneys but the big C.

He fell asleep in my arms, wagging his tail, with his nose full of Liver Pate`.

Rest in Peace Klumpen Min ( My Lump). Say Hi to Clara from me and your brothers.
