Unrelated to the gift exchange, but still pet and Santa related, Giselle got to meet Santa today! It was a little traumatic for both of us.

LOL, are you insinuating that many of the pets participating take after me?

Well, if the collar fits...

Or maybe you've heard curiosity killed the cat?

What a pretty girl! Maine Coon?

Aw. That's too cute.

It was Pet pics with Santa this past weekend at our local mall and my little girl got ambushed, licked/slimed across her face by a smitten (and drooling) Golden boy while lining up for our turn. Needless to say she was mortified (icky!), embarrassed (her hair!) and in no mood to take pics with Santa after that

Finally get a chance to sit down and upload the picture from the girls' amazing gifts, they were all very well received, especially the blanket, which has been clearly set aside as puppy only territory (and will be pulled off/rearranged accordingly if that rule is forgotten).



Thanks again secret santa! Wonderful gifts, Willow (the larger pup) doesn't play much with toys but has made the blanket her new home. Mylee (the little morkie) has been running around, carrying the penguin, which may be larger than her, and begging to be chased.


On a sad note, I had went to pick up some of the puppies favorite bully sticks (locally sourced), but it looks like they're no longer being carried! Despite this huge set back (and some sad pups to go with it), I believe we'll have our care package ready to be sent out by the end of the week.

Kipper, thanks so much for bringing this idea to fruition this year. I love seeing all the pictures of everyone's fur kids with their presents. ^

LOL, both! You know I have no patience.
You're very welcome! I'm loving seeing the photos and hearing exactly what each furkid received! I'm also having fun shopping for my recipients, and I know my kibblers are enjoying their presents. Geno has been sharing his antler with his siblings (whether he wants to or not, it usually walks away if he is more than a foot from it) and playing tug with me, and Mauser and Cobaka have been driving me crazy with the toys.

I was away so didn't get a chance to post. Charlie received his gifts with his usual je ne sais quoi. He has found the squirrels in the stump and promptly dumped the squirrels and ran around like a crazy dog with just the stump. The other squeaky is a bit annoying to the human so we take that out sparingly.

So, Charlie says thank you to his Santa Paws for the great gifts!

ETA: I'll try to take a pic but because he is really all black, they never come out right.

Is that the squeaky squirrels in a tree stump? Cobaka loves those! She carries the squirrels around.

Yup. Charlie is really good at these toys. We have quite a few. Gingerbread house with little squeaky cookies. They're really fun and interactive. Charlie for some reason likes the house and stump better!

Here's a picture with his mug jammed into the log. The snake is behind him. He would not look up for the photo.

Maybe partially, but she's a shelter adoptee. More fluff than large build though. Not the first person to say she looks similar though!

I would like to let Winnie and Tigger (and Catman, their dad) that their presents for Beanie and Sox just arrived. I have not opened them, as Bean and Sox are both currently taking a nap. However, when they are ready to unwrap the gifts, I will take photos and post them. Thank you so much, Winnie and Tigger!

Giselle received her gift! She got excited when the package was being opened, it was wrapped so well with a really cute cat card and note from Marino (and pbjag!) She is already loving the banana, I didn't want to overwhelm her with all the goodies at once. Thank you for organizing this!

She is so pretty!
