I sure hope all my dog pals had a Merry Christmas with lots of yummy treats & fun new toys. Mom had found an old fashion sled like she had as a kid in a junk store. She had planned to take Christmas pictures of me & Wren on the sled with the hound dog, Louie, pulling it. But guess what---she hasn't had time to do that! :-( Just too much going on. Mom was actually off work most of Dec. trying to use up all her vacation. BUT, as usual, she ended up working from home most of that time! Mom got a suprise for Christmas. She got a new Arabian horse! OMG! AND that means another horse around here for me to bark at! Mom & Dad drove to Lexington, KY to see the new horse on Sun. Dad said if she could ride him & got along with him then he was her Christmas present. The ad had said an advanced rider recommended. That kinda worried Dad so he wanted to be sure Mom felt at ease with the horse & he worked well for her. Guess what.....Mom rode the horse in the indoor arena, then outside on a little trail ride & got along great with the horse. So next day, which was Christmas Eve, Mom & Dad went back to Lexington, KY with the truck & trailer & brought the new horse home. The sad part is that I didn't get to go with them. Mom said too long of a ride (4 hrs) & it was all about horses & not dogs on these 2 days. :-( That is just wrong! Plus Mom has been messing with the new horse EVERY single night, which has cut into my ball time! I heard her tell Dad the horse was a sweetie! Seriously??? I could she say that about a horse......I am her sweetie!!!
The day after Christmas we got a blizzard! It snowed & blew ALL day long. I could not wait until Mom & Dad went to the barn so I could go out & play in the snow. Me & Wren ran & ran & ran in the snow. Wren could jump completely over the snow drifts, but when I tried, I ended up in the middle of them. But that was ok too because we were having a ball. Wren would go so fast that she would fall & go rolling in the snow.
Well, I better go because I have to eat one of our doggie peanut butter Christmas cookies.
Bark at you all later.......Shelby
