NoodleDog

The Mac arrived yesterday, in the early evening. I happened to be at the parents’ house at the time with the NoodleDog and Cooter. Snowy was ushered into the house while the NoodleDog and Cooter were outside, frolicking and barking at The Mac. They were all carefully introduced, and everyone got along just great! Poor NoodleDog, though – he likes Snowy so much, and he really likes Cooter, but when those two start playing together, he gets a little left out. They’re both a little quicker than he is, and they both like to play “keep away”, where they take whatever toy he is playing with, and then tease him with it and don’t let him have it back.

Anyway, The Mac arrived safe and sound, although I’m told he has a sore throat. Snowy survived the trip as well, although she drank a whole pitcher of water when she got out of the car. She doesn’t like the car very much, so she pants the whole time they’re driving and then gets dehydrated. Poor dog.

As Christmas gets closer and closer (two days away!), I realize how much I totally haven’t done yet. I don’t think there’s time to do it all. Yet somehow, each year, it all gets done. Maybe there are elves.

Merry Christmas, everyone!! I hope you have a great holiday, and that you’re spending time with loved ones.
