Hawk like

This is the tree UNdecorated.

I’ve had to watch it like a hawk today, because I think it could be foster dog Penny’s first Christmas tree, and she’s found it very alluring. Can’t wait to see what happens when it’s covered with ornaments!

Every year when we unpack ornaments, I have stories like, “THIS is the one Hamlet and Brutus chewed up” and “Here’s the one Pete pulled off the tree…” Even tangible reminders of when they’re not perfect give us things to smile about when our dogs are gone.


Pretty Penny.

  1. Oooh! Sparklie!

    Pet memories have always been a part of the holidays for my family as well. I’m the only one that does not make new ones. I’m the uncle who gets to have all the fun, then gives the kids back, four-legged or two, before they get cranky.
