Arghhhh....the storms are gone but today we have super high winds and our internet is still crap. I've tried all morning to upload my good pics and videos of Gunner to photobucket but it's refusing to work Our SS was AWESOME and gave Gunner the softest new blanket ever, yummy treats, and the most perfect toys. He LOVES his new tennis balls and puzzle game I will keep trying to get the videos uploaded but here are some pics from my phone. The quality is crappy, but it's all that is working for now

Riding in my lap on the way home from my parent's house..the back of the SUV was so crammed with presents that there was nowhere for him to go :p He didn't mind and fell asleep even though it was a short ride.


What?! You mean a doggy stocking just for ME?!


I have the best SS ever! I LOVE these tennis balls! Nom nom...


Waiting patiently for Mom to open this cool treat puzzle...I had it figured out in under a minute. Dobermans are SMART ya know

I lol'd that Brandy grabbed the noodle dog and took off. So great. Was definitely a last minute thing after seeing your message on the other thread about them.

I also hadn't tried antlers before, so I got both Brandy and Riley one, they seem to last a really long time! Hope Brandy likes hers!

Merry Christmas! <3

Ok, my camera completely died so all I have are these craptastic cell phone pics.

Thanks to Gracieface for the presents.

We got some tripe, a pretty collar, a kong wobbler, a wubba and a snake toy that Luci plays with all the time........ 6:00 in the morning we'll hear *sqeak squeak squicka squeak squicka squeaaakk* but she Loves it.

Again, please excuse the quality of these (the snake toy is not included in the pic of all the stuff b/c Luci ran off with it)

A very big thank-you to Cheryl and Ruger!!!
You spent way too much money!!

Zachary and Claire opened their enormous box on the 23rd.

Cheryl sent a beautiful card with a little poem about grieving over the holidays.
I read one line, but fell apart, so I am saving it.
Thank you for being so thoughtful.

My husband took quite a few pictures of the Monsterchild ripping every package apart, running around the house, stealing each toy Claire opened, shredding box & paper, barking, jumping, flinging the Styrofoam stuffers all over, did I mention jumping, and he ate right through one box of dog cookies and was having a feast.
Zachary was so excited!!!

This is his first Christmas with a family (we adopted him in March, and believe he had spent the first portion of his life tied outside).
I know I let him away with too much, But I received a lot of joy watching him go bananas with all his presents.

I do have some great pictures, some blurry pictures, and not one of them sitting quietly.
I cannot figure out Windows 8. If anyone would be kind enough to post some pictures of Zachary enjoying his SS gifts, pls let me know and I can email them to you (I think)

Again, Thank-you Doberdeer, we have been thinking of you and Ruger.

Also, so wonderful to see Elza liked her gifts.
It was very fun thinking about our gifts going all the way around the world.

She looks so beautiful in her pink pajamas.

Again, those small moments of joy have helped me get through the holidays.

Capone's Mommy

Finally the moment Capone and I had been waiting for!! We got so lucky with our Secret Santa and we can not thank you enough.
I had to show off this picture because it was so cute.

and the package that was in it was amazing!!! It was a necklace of my Ponie when he was just a little baby.

When I opened up the box I was shocked to find out I was going to get a Lizard Leather collar!! I was so excited about that and I thought it couldn't get any better, but it did.

Capone got some very cute Grinch accessories, which I love so much!!

Capone got an everlasting treat ball and he was so excited about it.

Capone also got some great antlers and I was so amazed at their sizes.


Capone and I can not thank our SS, who we believe is Zeusy Boy's Mama, enough. You were so amazing and kind. You made our Christmas so special.

NOOOOOOOO. I just spent 20 minutes typing up the world's longest thanks post, with photos and video, and then my browser lost it all

Sigh. Take two.

The A-Team didn't get to open their present (mean mom) until last night because we spent Christmas eve and day up at my folks' place. But boy howdy did opening that box at the end of the day just make their Christmas! Lois and her fur-kids totally spoiled them! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!

Finally getting to explore the box:



Something in there smells soooo yummy:



Video evidence of the kids learning how to un-wrap. My favorite part of this is how Alfie immediately loses focus because of another awesome toy he's already "unwrapped" and then gives me the "MOM! Whats do I playz with FURST??!" stare, before going back to 'help' his sister.

Unwrapping.

***Unfortunately (for the photos/video) following this, pure chaos basically ensued. Presents were being unwrapped! Paper was everywhere! Things were squeaking, crunching, and crackling! When I say Lois spoiled them, I mean they were seriously spoiled: they got tons of toys (they LOVE toys!), tons of treats - the good kind they think mom needs to buy lots more of (bully sticks, cows ears, pig ears, Christmas rawhide, and lung puffs nom nom nom - they LOVE treats!), and nice soft blankets for each of them (they LOVE blankets!). The A-Team was happy that Lois also included some Dobe paraphernalia for the humanz in the house because they like it when the whole world knows that this household revolves around them.***

I wish I had thought to get a picture of all the goods together, but I was battling some strong forces here ... so here is a shot of the "after." Note Alfie making a grab for Lois' awesome hand-made fleece toy ...



This does not convey the sheer amount of stuff in that wonderful box, but I can ensure you that Audrey and Alfie are enjoying every single item it!

Auds has focused her OCD with the cuz with the tail and has already spent hours in this position:



Last night she fell asleep on the bed with the cuz tucked under her chin.

Alfie likes to play with everything for a couple minutes and then pull out a new toy, but he is especially attached to the crunchy bottle penguin toy. He likes to crunch it crunch it crunch it and then cuddle it! This morning I found *him* asleep in the leather chair downstairs with the penguin cuddled in his paws ... he also went to town on the tennis ball. He LOVES balls! (Ok, Alfie is just generally enthusiastic about life, but that's not so bad, right?)

We haven't tried the IQ treat ball yet, but I can't wait to give it a whirl!

So thank you, thank you, thank you! to Lois, Willie, and Annie. My two had a most excellent time opening their SS present. Happy holidays to you all and know you brought much joy to this house

Hooray!!! I am so glad you like the collar and the toys! Brandy was extremely jealous of the squeaky penguin and the ropey snowman, but it turns out that she got one from her SS! !

Ooohh, I finally get to touch the magic box.

honda123

I am on Toy overload.

Where did these toys come from?

What did I do?

It's a dumb cardboard box, and you open it? And, all this great stuff popps out?

What a Magic Secret Santa Land I live in!

There should be a cartoon, like Rudolph the red nose reindeer.

But, this comic hero has to be a black nose reindeer! Like me! I'll pull the sleigh! Wheeee.....

For this bounty, I am a big guy, I'll pull the whole sleigh!

honda123

I don't like people to know that I like to sing, in private. You know, when no one is listening?

But, tonight, I am caroling caroling "Happy Holidays! Happy Holidays!"

honda123

Mommie, I always like to lay on your legs to hug you.

I just want to say Thank you Thank you Secret Santa for my Star Spinner Dog puzzle, two bags of treats, wubba, cuzz and a IQ treat ball that I flung into the snow man that knocked down the golden reindeer that knocked down the heirloom sparkley optic Christmas tree and all the nicely placed Christmas cards... so then, I heard some shreiks and commotion and I high tailed it up to my Dober 4' x 3' cushy bed and pretended I was sleeping...

honda123

Thank you Cara, Mazzi and Isabelle!

I have never chewed on a box! I never thought I was allowed to.

But whoopie, I chewed your box to pieces!

Thank you, again!

hjgrl

Come on SS vic, post your pictures....... I know you got your package.
