Dylan loves shopping for fellow paw-friends! But first he had to help decorate for Xmas

Mookie says "Thank you, Santa!" She also sat in the box containing the fountain, so you know she's happy.

Grace says thank you to Mookie! Her kennel staff delivered a message to her that she has presents waiting for her at home, and she can't wait until we get home next week to tear into them!

Dylan was beyond excited to receive his Santa Paws gifts. He knew the minute the box arrived that it was for him. He dances every time I open the bag of fish treats.

We are moving in the new year, so are going to wait to blow up the new giant herding tennis balls - but he adores them

Apparently Grace and Dylan share that skill! Grace barks at delivery people (Amazon, FedEx, UPS, etc.) except when they are delivering a package for her. Somehow, she just knows!

Speaking of Grace, we have word that she has another package waiting for her arrival back home after her vacation at the kennel.
