IT IS BEGINNING TO LOOK LIKE CHRISTMAS
For those of you who know me well, you know how much I love decorating for Christmas. I remember my Mom would have lots of decorations at Christmas time. This year it seems to be going a bit slow; I started the day after Thanksgiving. (ok I confess I started Thanksgiving eve.)
This year I have a black and white, fuzzy, JoJo as a helper. HA HA!
I have to pay attention to everything, if I don't he has it and is off to play "catch me if you can". If I haven't dropped it, he has thieved it off the tree. Seriously, it is worse that a couple of toddlers. We put the tree in the family room up on the coffee table. I never had to do that in all my days of child-care and raising my own children.
JoJo has found that he can get between the sofa and buffet. If I go to check on what he has he darts to the opposite side of the sofa, and then back to the other side when I make a move. He has not learned "drop it", and ignores "come here JoJo". Maybe a good dog biscuit would do the trick you say. Well that might be an option, but he will be overweight by the time I get finished decorating.
While JoJo and I play "catch me if you can", Ritz patiently waits by the front door to go for a walk or sits quietly by the patio doors watching, and guarding.
I got tired of trying to catch the thief, and was able to capture this picture:
Now how can I be angry; all I could do was giggle. Our two precious boys have given us so many days of joy and laughter; and it's only just begun.
I know that many of you are struggling with various situation, may blessings overfill you during this blessed Christmas season. Find the JOY in the small things.
