I’m in the process of moving this website to another webhost, and I am taking this opportunity to change a lot of things around. So things may be a bit of a mess for a week or so!

I was just sorting out some papers from my early childhood and I found this, done just after my third birthday:

I think somewhere in those old boxes there may be some of the dog stories I wrote a few years later. I love it that my mother used to write down my comments when she dated the drawings. (I found this because I am taking a digital scrapbooking class and this month’s assignment is the years before school.)

1. If I am down, I will cheer up by thinking about dogs.

2. I will remember to be silly more more often.

3. I will get enough rest.

I hope your dog is having a good holiday season… I hope you do, too, but here I am more concerned with the dogs!

I set out to write a post about not getting a puppy on Christmas Day if it’s hectic with lots of people, and then I thought, wait a minute, didn’t I do that once? Sure enough, here is my blog post on Puppies and Christmas. And here is one of the main tips:

If you are giving or receiving a puppy at Christmas, consider making the actual arrival of the puppy happen on the 26th or later. Christmas tends to be a busy day for many families, and it can be a day when you leave for Christmas dinner at another home. Of course, there can be exceptions to this, such as a gift to a lonely elderly person who will be home.

I did another holidays post too: Puppies, Dogs, and Christmas or other big events.

Happy Holidays to your dogs and to you!
