The Holidays Are Official Over

It's sad to see all the Christmas trees line the block waiting for the garbage men with the rest of the trash.

It's a visual confirmation that the holidays are finished and a new year started.
But it's good for me because I have a whole bunch of new smells on my walk!

...which make it easier to do my business.

Some of you have asked how my owner knows when I'm peeing. It's very easy -

When I smell something interesting I start wagging my tail - that's how she knows to stay in the area.

Then, for some reason, when I start peeing my tail stiffens and goes straight up. It stays there until I'm finished.
Here's some video of me doing just that below...

The video quality isn't the best (it was pretty bright out) but you get the idea.

Holiday Houses

I wrote yesterday that we visited friends in Jersey for New Years, well, my New Year's Day walk was nice because the weather was great and we got to see all the pretty houses decorated for the holidays. Wreaths were aplenty.

It's nice to have a change of scenery every once in a while.

Waiting For Santa

I've been napping all day so I can stay up and see Santa get to our house.

We left out some milk and cookies for him but if he doesn't get here soon, you can be sure they'll be gone.

Home For The Holidays

Heading to the Grandparents for Christmas.

I used to almost always sit in the passenger seat but lately I'm getting a little needy and whine until my owner puts me in her lap for the ride. It probably looks dangerous but I'm nestled in pretty good and since I can't move, this is pretty much how I stay for the entire trip.

Best Tree Ever

Every year we spend a day getting and decorating our Christmas tree. And every year we go to the place that has the best selection.

Yesterday my owner, I and "the other guy" drove through the Lincoln Tunnel to Home Depot to choose our tree.

So many options!! My owner makes me promise beforehand that I won't have any "accidents."

We met some very nice people also shopping for their tree. Everyone was in a good mood and full of holiday spirit! But we had to concentrate and get down to business.

We sniffed through a lot of trees...then...finally...

We found the perfect one! "The Other Guy" said it was too big but my owner loved it!

We got it home, set it up and...voila!
