Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to everyone! The weather this year is not cooperating with family celebrations. There was mist and freezing rain this morning. With more expected this afternoon. The temperature is teetering on freezing so family has decided to all stay put. As my sister said we don't want any of the family to die on Christmas Day.

Last night we saw Misty Blue trying to nibble on the bottom of the "I am on the nice list" stocking.

A Christmas Stocking is down!

This morning we woke up to Misty Blue pulling down the "Define naughty" stocking. She had a chew bone in her mouth. She didn't want to eat it but she did want to be the first one to have a treat!

Dale was standing up by the stockings so I asked him to pass the same treats that Misty took out to all the other dogs. Duchess just wasn't quite ready to eat hers either. But she definitely protected it!

Skyler was all into it! The treat Misty chose was a challenge to eat. But he took on that challenge with gusto.

Sonjia ran and hid so I didn't get a picture of her eating her treat. I am not sure if you can tell in the photo below but there's a shadow line and Misty is hiding inside of the shadow line. My flash lit her up but in reality she is in a very dark place (hiding and protecting her treat.)

I had to laugh when I realized that Sonjia is sitting just a few feet behind her. She's not challenging her for the treat. But she is secretly hoping that Misty Blue will get up and forget the treat is there.
