Merry Christmas!
We’re bundling up here in Fort Doberdale to keep warm from the mounds of snow surrounding us.
We hope your families are keeping warm and cozy and enjoying the holiday, too.
Holiday
The Twelfth Day of Christmas
Well, we started with the grinch on Nov. 25 and we end the twelve days of Christmas with him. Mr. Twelfth Day is Bouchard. He’s French. He’s our Grinch. (There’s one in every crowd.)
There is evidence of a clandestine Grinch among the Fort Doberdale herd, however, so Bouchard is not alone.
Exhibit A.
Exhibit B.
No it wasn’t Raven this time. It was Lilian! Although, there is a theory around that another Grinch removed the hook and Lilian grabbed it and ran. That sort of scenario has been witnessed before.
I guess we will be needing a new candy cane next year.
Luigi’s Friends
Luigi and I drove out west to see some of his friends yesterday and to take our two new red friends, Faith and Hope with us.
On the way, we saw a bad wreck. Ugly stuff.
Faith was appalled.
We were glad to get to our destination. Luigi was happy to see his friends. Here he is looking good amongst them.
Here is a smiler friend of his.
Some humans are more apt to smile at the camera than others. That’s what Luigi says.
This lovely little girl needs a home. Her name is Cassie and she’s a character. She will be on the website soon, but if anyone’s interested now, fill out an application and send it in!
Luigi played with Hope and Faith.
And they posed for a picture.
Luigi and Hope took a last stroll around. Will you look at this? Hope is a very BIG Dobergirl. She’s 30″ and Luigi is 29″!
These girls need a home. They are orphans. They need a yard with a big, tall, sturdy fence. Hope is a persistent escape artist.
Sometimes Faith has to point out certain obvious things to Hope and her plan. We’re thinking Hope is the braun and Faith is the brains.
And whenever Hope’s plan works, Faith is right behind her.
These two were left in a yard without shelter and lacking water. The former “owners” were cited several times, didn’t comply, so these two were picked up. There were no calls from those owners to reclaim these lovlies. Once they become part of a family and have jobs to do, they won’t have to make up their own adventures. It will take a little work, but these two are characters and are so much fun to watch and play with. These girls do everything together. They are best pals, and want to be adopted together in their ever-loving forever home.
Meanwhile, Luigi took one last gallop around. He loves to run!
Then we hit the road.
Ta-ta!
The Eleventh Day of Christmas
My little Raven is the Eleventh Day of Christmas Dobergirl.
I cannot get enough of the Chipmunks song because whenever I hear the Chipmunks owner yelling “Alvin…AlViN…ALVIN!” I always chuckle. Sounds just like my house except it’s “Raven…RaVeN…RAVEN!” It’s nice to know other faces are turning Christmas red and not only mine.
The Eighth Day of Christmas
Oh Lordie! Lilian is so unique.
That is THE photo of the 8th day of Christmas. We spent a lot of time together this evening, Lilian, the treat container, the camera and I. During my lunch break, too! And the above is the winning Lilian picture.
Here’s a beaut from our lunch time photo shoot.
And this one demonstrates Lilian’s tremendous talent for looking miserable with mere facial movements. She’s trying to remove the antlers.
She’s the official Doberbrat of Fort Doberdale. Hands down. God, I love her!
I have to add this one.
And this one, too, because it’s the companion to the one above.
