Whew!? It was a close call.? With wind gusts of almost 100mph, it was touch and go for Santa.? We lost 2 tarps off the dog runs and a few tree branches.? Somehow, Santa was not blown off course and the human and four-legged kids had plenty of gifts to open.? The dogs did NOT want to go out this am due to the wind.? So, I don't know if the were excited about their presents or?coming back in?out of the wind, LOL!? We all (dogs too) had scrambled eggs, bacon and hash browns for breakfast.? The dogs (not the humans) eat raw, so a cooked meal was a real treat.? They are all played out, curled up and happy that Santa found us.? They asked me to tell you all to have Merry Christmas! and a safe, successful and Happy 2008.??
