Post-Christmas Post

We had a very nice Christmas.

We got treats and an Egg Nog shaped toy!

Mommy sister gave Mommy.... a Sheltie Ornament fur the tree, and 2 dog bone ornaments with our names on them.

Mommy's niece and nephew gave Mommy... a dog bone shaped dog-treat jar, and a Dachshund pen. 

Mommy's friend gave Mommy a button that says... I rescue Shelties, what's your super power!

We didn't take pictures of all the stuff yet.  We will have to post those pictures next time.

Lassie and Benji with some treats from Christmas!

Can you believe we took our Christmas Card photos BEFORE Halloween because Mommy wanted to print our cards and use a coupon that was expiring at the end of October.   

Mommy did her best to try to make the background all the same color in the above picture since this was the only picture she got of us both together on the sofa (but the sofa cover was all messy)...

So, instead of using the picture of us above... we used the 2 pictures of us below on our Christmas Card.

Here are our close-ups!

Have a wonderful New Year!

Christmas Elf & Card Count

This year we have been especially watching our "Elf on the Shelf" moving around to different spots everyday since Thanksgiving.

We should have taken pictures of everyday... but here are a few...

Here is our Elf sitting on the mantle with one of Grandma's Nylon Stockings.   (See, Mommy's nephew asked Mommy -- when are you going to hang the Stockings up for Christmas?  Well, Mommy jokingly decided to tape one of Grandma's nylon stockings to the shelf and  told her nephew -- All done the "Stocking" is hung by the Chimney with care!   

Everyone had a good laugh... Grandma even said... "Well at least Santa's got somewhere to put MY present!"

The Elf got in on the joke too, and the next morning we found the "Elf on the Shelf" with his leg in the Nylon Stocking!

Here is the Elf sitting in a Flower Arrangement on the Mantle looking at our $16.99 eleven year old Christmas tree.  

The Elf hanging from the Cuckoo clock.  (The clock doesn't keep time right -- so, it's basically just a wall decoration.)

My Barkday

My (Lassie's) 5th Barkday was on Friday, December 12.

 

Here is a picture of me posing with the bag of treats that Mommy's sister's family got me.  Benji was totally eyeing up my treats, and since I am such a nice brother, I let Benji have some. (Butt he can only  have some just today, starting tomorrow -- these treats are all mine!)

 

 

 

Here is a selfie picture of me with Mommy on my barkday.  Mommy was laying on the floor with me, and giving me tons of barkday snuggles!

I played some "old fashioned" Nintendo 64 with Mommy's nephew. We played a racing game. (It's a good thing Benji is the Blogville Ambulance driver and not me, because, when I played the racing game, I was flying over obstacles and banging the Minivan all over the place.  I think I even knocked down a tree in the game.)

Now here is when Mommy let me open my present.  Remember I said she ordered it from Chewy.com and the box came like 87 days ago --- well it was finally the moment to see what I got.

 

 

I hit the jackpot!  She got me 4 bags of these apple bacon fruitables from Chewy.com.

 

I once got these treats before when Mommy got Barkbox thanks to our friend Finn.

 

I loved these treats so much.  

 

Mommy looks in the stores every once in a while butt never sees these particular treats.  So, fur my barkday, she made it a point to look on Chewy.com to see if they sell them there - and she bought not 1 bag -- butt 4. 

 

 

I have the best Mommy!

 

 

Hope everyone has a pawsome week.   We have been busy with decorating and cleaning fur Christmas, butt we promise to get around to visiting everyone's blogs soon.

A post with no pictures.

Mommy is LAZY.   She is supposed to help us write our post via a computer, butt she is lazy couch potato and is writing this via her phone.   She was supposed to post the picture of us with our cousin dog from Thanksgiving which was 87 days ago... Butt no...she is too lazy to figure out how to post our picture via the phone.

Then, she was supposed to show a picture of our Christmas tree,   She put the beads vertically on the tree and the tree is looking sorta Charlie Brownish... Butt of course No Picture to share with you.


We have a bunch of Christmas cards in already from the Blogville Christmas card exchange.  I would have liked to shown a picture of them, butt blame our Mommy fur the lack if picture.

Now this week is my , Lassie, 5th Barkday.  It is on Friday.  Mommy already ordered my present from Chewy.com and the box is sitting high on the shelf.  It came super fast in the mail and she wont let me open it until my Barkday.  Lets see what the math is... It came on December 5th and my birthday is December 12.  So 12 minus 5 is 87 days of having to wait to open my present.    I would show u a picture of my box on the shelf butt, u guessed it, Lazy Mommy strikes again.

Thanks fur reading our picture-less post.

Have a super fabulous week and make sure to eat extra treats on Friday in celebration of my Birthday.
