Ok, I am not afraid to admit that I am relieved to see the holidays pass. It seems that I have barely taken a breath since Halloween. Though I had the best Thanksgiving and a wonderful Christmas, I am looking forward to Spring now. I hope everyone enjoyed their holidays as much as we did. Here's wishing you all a very prosperous 2008!!!!
We finally welcomed "Crestridge" Diesel Dean into our home on December 23rd, and boy have I been busy since. Wait! Let me explain this ridiculously long name first: To paper the puppy you must use at least three names- the breeder's included. "Crestridge" is the name of the wonderful breeders we purchased Diesel from and, well, Dean is BRETT'S middle name! I will only take credit for "Diesel" not the others- thank Brett for the other two names. I about lost my lunch when he told me the DOG would share his middle name!!! It's just wrong. Whatever. I am still trying to figure out why Brett wants to paper the puppy- we aren't going to breed him. (Uh, he better NOT!) What does it matter? Anyway, the puppy is doing great. I, let me emphasize *I*, have managed to train him to pee, poop, and sit on command. Pee and poop outside, and sit when he wants a treat. All right, only about 80% of the time, but I am very proud- seeing as how he IS only nine weeks old, and I have done this in a week. Thank you, Cesar Millan!!!!! The Dog Whisperer is my hero!!! Ccchhhhhh!
Christmas was wonderful, as was Christmas Eve. We shared dinner and presents with Papa, Nanny, Granny, and Nana on Christmas Eve. Lexi and Jessi were so excited to get new jammies that they immediately tore off their dresses...in front of everyone....to slip them on and model. And since Lexi had Supergirl jams, she also had to play the role of Supergirl....all night. Yikes. Sorry Papa and Nanny. Jessi's jammies were pink, sparkly princess ones, so her behavior wasn't altered.
Much to our surprise, we woke up to a huge blanket of snow on Christmas morning! I was thrilled- it was my very first "white Christmas"! I have lived in Colorado for 24 years and I have never experienced this. And when I realized that this was my first "White Christmas" with a puppy as a gift, I felt blessed....until around 10 am, after standing outside-freezing my butt off-every 20 minutes- potty training a dog! It didn't take me long to realize that the cute little pup on a snowy Christmas morning wasn't all it was cracked up to be. Oh well. Later, we had dinner at Nana's house with the rest of the Mosbargers.
On to New Year's. We were in bed by 11:00.
Sorry, Helen, that's as short as I can make this entry. I tried.
Love to everyone!!!!!!
