This has been a rough year and I have an abscessed tooth with a cold.? Not feeling the Christmas spirit.? However, the dogs decided to change that.? They were all like little kids this am.? They got all excited when we woke up early.? And, they knew it wasn't a regular morning.? It is gloomy and rainy here and that means sleeping in :-)??? We rotate dogs while opening presents so everyone gets to have fun.? The house is now a muddy mess, the wrapping paper in shreds and some very happy dogs.??Like kids, they have more fun playing with the paper and boxes than their gifts, LOL!? If anything can get you in the spirit of Christmas, it is the joy of seeing the dogs have so much fun.? I still feel like crap and it is time for an early nap.? But,?enjoying time with my daughter and the dogs and seeing their happiness is worth the clean-up that will come later today. Wishing all of you, your family and your dogs?a very Merry Christmas!
