That Time of Year

Well, it's that time of year again! I'm not talking about the busy shopping time, or the time coming to spend with family, no I am talking about that time of year when we have dogs coming out of our ears! We have had a dog at our house since the 9th of November and we won't get a break from dogs until the 28th of November. After that we get until the 9th of December before another dog comes and then it isn't until next year that we get another break! Wow!

At this moment we have four dogs besides Charlie at our house. We have Bolt, Lucy, Lucy, and Georgie. Tomorrow we get Zenith the Schnauzer. It isn't really that bad having all these dogs though. This group is pretty mellow, which is really nice. One of the Lucy's is a 13 year old Miniature Poodle (black). She can't see well or hear well, so she basically ignores everything, but of course not by choice!! We do, however, have the barkers. Georgie the....I don't know what kind of dog she is, but she is fat, is the instegater. Once she starts to bark, the other Lucy, a Toy poodle...also black! and Bolt, a little white Maltese join in, along with Charlie of course!

Speaking of Charlie, he is handeling all these doggies really well. You can usually tell when he is ready for a break, but because these dogs just keep to themselves for the most part and don't bother him, he is ok. The other day, Saturday, Charlie went to Molbaks with us. They were having a take your picture with "Santa Paws" thing and I wanted to get one with Santa, Charlie, and I. It was hosted by the Humane Society or something, and with a small donation you got your picture taken. My gosh! There were a lot of people with their dogs there!!! The line to get your picture taken was a little bit too long and my family didn't really want to wait, so I decided that I would skip it. Besides, I have a picture with Charlie and Santa from a couple years ago.

I don't know about you, but I am sure looking forward to Thanksgiving! I love the holidays, especially at this time of year because of the colors, the weather, and the type of food that is served. I don't however, like Turkey....I can't wait to see my family and have jello, mashed potatoes, rolls, pie, etc! My family has three Thanksgiving dinners! We have the typical Turkey dinner on Thursday, then we have a ham dinner on Friday, which I LOVE because I LOVE ham! and then Saturday we have another dinner, which is usually chicken or something. It is really fun, but boy are you stuffed and fat afterwards! This coming Sunday is also my mom's birthday, so we will be doing something fun that day as well!

I hope that you all have a great Thanksgiving (If you celebrate it)!
