Merry Christmas, ladies

[Zen]

How are the dogs handling it?

They've pretty much calmed down. I go in and visit with her.
She has a nice heated bed, TV and stereo.
i don't think she can work the remote though.

That sounds really good to me. But be careful about ordering duck

I tried to talk my sister into going Chinese, ordering duck and seeing if the staff would treat us to a chorus of "Deck the Halls" but she said she didn't want to be served a duck that was smiling at her.

Glad to see someone got that one

Merry Christmas

Santa got here a little early so we opened our presents late yesterday. After breakfast we'll prep the food stuff for dinner at my moms and head up to celebrate with her.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Merry Christmas!

We hosted a few of the neighbors last night (this started three years ago with us serendipitously winding up at our next-door neighbors on Christmas Eve, and it's gradually accreting more and more of the neighbors). We wound up with so much leftovers that I am seriously not motivated to cook our usual quiet Christmas dinner for DH and myself.

Maybe I'll feel more energetic after a run.

Zen, thanks for taking in the kitty. That's basically the same way ex-H and I wound up with our Measle (spotted dog ) years ago. He just showed up in the neighborhood several days before Christmas, about four months old and obviously abandoned (way too clean and well fed to be feral, no response to ads we posted, and he was TERRIFIED of leashes and cars for about his first year with us, poor thing). "If that puppy is still hanging around on Christmas Day..." He was with us for 13 more years, and now he's a Christmas angel.

Zen, you're an angel. I don't know what's wrong with people. She's got a good home and will be a great companion, the dogs will get use to her. Our motto - 'there's always room for one more' - thats why we have 7 cats and 2 dogs. Happy holidays

Merry Christmas all!

We spent last night with family, exchanged gifts, and ate (latkes and brisket). My kids head out of town today with my ex to visit their relatives in Western NY.

I don't quite get it...

Duck would be better than squid or octapus as far as I'm concerned. Although I wouldn't necessarily mind meeting some more firemen and paramedics.

I got a leg rub from the semi-feral kitty I've been feeding. Gave her some canned food (my kitties get a spoonfull with their morning kibble) for her Christmas morning breakfast too. She rubbed up against my legs as I sat on the front porch and let me pet her before she settled down to eat her breakfast. This was the first time she's let me touch her. I noticed that her ear tip was docked, which leads me to believe that my neighbor round-the-corner that also feeds strays has taken her in to be spayed.

Zen - hope your new kitty enjoys her new home. At least she's safe and warm now.

Happy Christmas Everyone! Or Happy Holidays! Or Happy Whatever!

Hi, all! I don't get the duck thing either.

I'm out in Nebraska now, having a nice time with the family. Yesterday I went sledding for the first time in probably 35-40 years, and between that and spending over an hour on my sister's Wii Fit, I'm a bit stiff and sore.

Hope you are all having a nice holiday!

Haven't you ladies ever seen A Christmas Story?

Sounds like you're having a fun time, DB

Hmmm...It's on the TV right now, but I guess I've never watched the whole movie. I've seen the tongue on the pole, and the "fra-gee-lay" leg light, but apparently I've never made it all the way through to the end. Maybe today...

If you're watching TBS, you've got 24 hours worth of chances to see the duck! Good stuff.

Speaking of cats, I have to share this. So much for feline dignity:



There's more here.
