Monday Mischief: The Christmas Card Wreath

Well it was a busy but productive weekend. Mom and Dad finally got into Christmas mode.

Friday they left us home and took the great niece and nephews to the Christmas tree lighting. The little ones got to visit with Santa who arrived on a fire engine to open the festivities. We didn't get to go because it was incredibly crowded.

Saturday we finally got to see Santa at the Baypath Rescue fundraiser. Can you believe it Santa remembered us!! With all the dogs he sees we didn't expect he'd remember us. I guess he doesn't see many Shelties and who knew Santa has a thing for Shelties. Santa even remembered to rub Katy's side so she stopped being scared. We got to our picture taken with Santa and then we got to go shopping in the store that hosted the event. We found lots of cool toys to suggest for Santa toys and we also pointed out some bully sticks that might be interesting.

Mom and Dad finally got our card wreaths put up and the first one only has our cards in it so far. I suspect we'll fill the first one before Mom even gets one card in it.

They also got the tree up this weekend so the holiday decorations are coming along. Next weekend we are helping one of the great nephews celebrate his birthday. We love birthday parties because Dog Dad always gets us cookies to celebrate with the birthday child. The tradition is the birthday kid gives us the cookies before he/she has birthday cake. We don't get bakery cookies often so we are looking forward to it.

Happy Chanukah to all our friends celebrating. We hope the holiday is filled with joy, happiness, and wonderful memories as you celebrate with family and friends.

Baypath's Bark in the Park 2012 at Hopkinton State Park

While we have lots of stories to tell you we want to get the word out about Baypath Humane Society's Bark in the Park at Hopkinton State Park in MA. We had so much fun at the Whisker Walk we are really pushing Mom to make it the extra half mile to finish the short route of the walk. She is making progress on her recovery and we are sure she can do it.

The event is being held at Hopkinton State Park on Sunday, June 17 from 10-3.

Like the Whisker Walk in addition to the walk itself there are lots of family and dog friendly events, vendors and food to be found at the event. We are excited about going to the park as we have never been. Mom is not sure what the normal rules are about dogs at Hopkinton State Park, but she plans to find out while we are there. For that day, it is open for dog business.

For those of you in the area, the information regarding Baypath's Bark in the Park event can be found here.

We hope this helps get the word out.
