Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone!! Hope 2009 is off to a good start for you! We just got a package in the mail - it was the prize for our third place finish in Johann's Howling Howliday Giveaway! Wow - it was like Christmas all over again! We got lots of neat stuff - thank you to Johann and to all the companies who so generously donated items! We had a lot of fun participating in the contest and getting a prize to open was awesome!

Mom's favorite present!

Mom tells me she is sorry because she forgot to take a photo of her favorite Christmas present so that I could tell you all about it! It's a pawprint of my paw!!! Dad helped me to make it so I could surprise mom for Christmas!

Dad made some mud (we decided to do this on a day when the ground was frozen so we had to make mud!) - he worked at getting the consistency just right - I had to keep putting my foot in it again and again until a clear pawprint was there. And then we put in some plaster of paris. After it dried, dad removed the plaster of paris from the mud and there was a cast of my paw!! Cool, huh?

I also gave mom a card with a tri-color chihuahua on it (closest we could get to a tri-color sheltie!) and when she opened it, dogs barked "jingle bells"! Well mom loved it all - the card and most especially the pawprint! But she says what she loved the most is that dad and I made it for her!

What will we do to top that next year????
