Home for Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas! Hope you did, too! Here are a few photos.

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Alaska & Kira love Christmas. They know that we put up the tree and decorate the house. We wrap gifts and then at some point we open them, and Alaska & Kira always get something fun to play with. So they love it when we get the Christmas decorations out and put up the tree.

This is Kira in the photo above, but notice how Alaska has opened every box of Christmas decorations that she can reach.

First Snow

Kira the Bunny

Kira has always loved carrots (sometimes we give her 1 or 2 as a "treat"). But lately she has started doing something that is so funny. When I get into the fridge, she comes running and looks through the crack in the door at the veggie drawer - she’s looking to see if I’m getting carrots out. Silly dog.

Alaska's Great Idea

Whenever we go to the vet or take the dogs for a ride in the car, we always start off by taking them out to potty beforehand, usually at a time of day that is not their normal "potty time" (that’s what tips them off that something out of the ordinary is going on). Alaska had a great idea this afternoon: she insisted on going out to potty in the middle of the day. Then as I was waiting for Kira to finish, she went to the car door and wanted in. Nice try, Alaska.
