Audrey was Good Girl!!

Christmas Eve I woke up at 4am.  I so couldn’t sleep, but I really don’t think my mind was racing either.  So instead of waking PC up, I got up and headed to Wal-Mart (for a few last minute things) before the big crowds hit.  Being Christmas Eve, you never know!  I was there at 6am.  I took his phone (it contained the shopping list) and took my phone, b/c well… it’s my phone… LOL.  So he calls me at 10 minutes after 6 wondering where in the heck I am.  I told him I went to Wal-Mart so I didn’t wake him up stirring around.

One of the things on my list were a pair of clippers so we could groom Audrey like a real Cocker Spaniel.  Ever seen how they are groomed?  No?  Look at this beauty of a golden Cocker!

Now I don’t think that A-dog will have the long bushy bottom, it’s just not practical for a country dog such as herself… but we wanted her to be shorter on top, longer on bottom.  When I got home, we went to work on her.  She wasn’t so sure she liked those “mean” clippers though….

I only got 2 photos of her from my iPhone because I was in the process of helping hold her and keep her calm.  I might be scared too if I didn’t know what was going on… LOL

After a hard morning she was pooped!  I went to work in the kitchen preparing Christmas Eve dinner for my family and she either laid here, behind my feet, or else on the futon (only piece of furniture she’s allowed on) with her chew toy.  We’d hear squeak squeak squeak and we could find her.

Then it was her turn to open her present under the tree.  I think she was a little camera shy….

But she was sure curious to see what was under that paper….

And why not chew on the box, isn’t that one way to open it?

I apparently wasn’t opening it fast enough for her…

She isn’t the patientest (yup it’s a word… the squiggly line didn’t show up under it) of waiters….

And look what she got, a pink puppy snuggie.  Isn’t she the cutest?

We are now a family of Snuggie owners… Audrey with her pink, Tbug with her pink, PC with his Camo and me with the purple one.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.  This was my first married Christmas and I have no complaints what-so-ever!

    Back in May of 2012, I shared a story with you about how the dogs apparently take joy in running across the roof.  I don’t know if they’re using it as their own jungle gym or what… but they absolutely love running across the roof.  It quit for a while and has started back up…
