Post Christmas Post

My mom came back on Saturday. But before she could get home there was a call from a rescue friend with an emergency. My mom went to help and came home with two new doggies.

We have Dottie with the laser eyes. She is a wiggly, sweet girl.Look at the dots on that girl!! And here is Brinx. He looks like a sad, little lion. He has severe heartworms so he has to stay in cage rest for a long time. Right now he needs a good brushing. And he is already better--he is coming up to my mom for attention.Meanwhile, over Christmas my mom went to Smithfield, even passed by the ham (Gwaltney, Smithfield and Edwards) place. Here is a cool Victorian house.
Here are shops on the Pagan River. Pagan means 'little fish' in Indian language.This is St. Luke's, an old old church, like from the 1600s. That's my grandmom in the picture.Boats on the river were decorated for Christmas.
My grandmom had a money tree for her 2 girls. My mom got some cash!She bought me a wubba!! Here is Georgia checking it out, too. It's mine! All mine!
And more cards came today! From Homer in Rotterdam and Togo and Tagar in Malaysia, beautiful! Thank you all!

I practiced the command FOOT while my mom was gone and had to show her how good I was at doing it.

I got this great award from Kess and her mom. Thank you! The award, which was started in Portugal states that "This blog invests and believes the PROXIMITY - nearness in space, time and relationships!" In other clearer words, "These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers! Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award."

We are supposed to choose 8 but all our friends deserve it!

The Christmas card exchange was terrific. BUT, we know we need to start several months in advance to get ready for it. We would like to try making cards ourselves. My mom hopes to join the chat tomorrow night for New Year's Eve.
