Santa’s Surprises

We woke up to a rainy Christmas morning at Fort Doberdale. Members of the FDSP were not impressed.

So we got going on some indoor games with Santa’s gifts. First Annie held onto the pink ball.

Then Ginger swiped it and ran into her cave with it. Possession is the best part of toys…even if you don’t intend on playing with it. If everyone else wants it, that’s the fun part.

Except when it comes to Baby’s stuffed toys. No one is allowed to touch them because most everyone else tears them apart…

except Regis. He is good to his stuffed toys, also. I keep them up when these two aren’t playing with them. But when I came home today, Regis had gotten one of my socks and wouldn’t let it go. Figure that! I treat his toys royally, and he doesn’t think twice about tearing a hole in my socks because he is a stubborn old mule sometimes!

Bouchard coveted a ball and gnawed on a monstrous Nylabone.

Lilian had a new knotted Nylabone, which tastes very good and is excellent for her teeth.

Luna sank her teeth into the Big Chew Nylabone Beef Bone
Don’t touch her bone!

Pippin tried to get a grip on the knotted Booda rope bone, and so did Luna.

Lilian found the Kong Wubba to be a fun toy, too. Some of that red fabric came out in her morning deposit in the back yard as well. But that’s what she’s known for!

When the rain broke, Leissl and Raven took to a game of tug on the Wubba. We can’t disclose who won!

Later on, Leissl and Raven took out another game of tug on the Humunga Tongue.

At some point, they let loose, and Luna got to play with the tongue.

Baby sat to play with her red Frisbee. (OK, it’s not new, but she hadn’t seen the red one in a while.)

Her patience waned quickly. “Throw that Frisbee!”

Baby fetches it and takes it somewhere. I follow her, take it, and throw it. I am sure that’s not the way the game is supposed to be played, but she’s the Queen Mother. I play by her rules.

Ollie, on the other paw, catches a ball and hangs with it till the cows come home. (Oh, the power!)

Look what Luigi found!

“Awww…this is the life! Me and my ball.”

Time to play catch!

Here he goes…chasing that yellow ball. Luigi’s so fast he’s Superdobie!

Look who’s here to play, too! Raven! She’s a good kickball player.

Hmmm…sassy! She should have gotten a lump of coal!

“Yes, she should have, in our opinion. Yes, Raven should have gotten that coal!”

About Helen

I'm a Southern California living in South Florida. I've been here for 10 years as of October 1, 2007. No matter where I live, I'm a dog lover, and my breed is the Dobermann Pinscher of the Working Group. I am also fond of the Australian Shepherd of the Herding Group. My life revolves around my dogs, which is something those family members of mine don't understand. So I'm an island in that respect, but have built friendships with those who are doggie lovers and respect the canine as much as I do. Some do rescue, some train in, compete in, and judge AKC trials. The common thread is our dogs are family.
