9th December: My Family and Other Animals

We're not the only ones who love the build up to Christmas. The dogs get very hyper around this time of year. I'm not sure if it's the e numbers in their advent calendar, or the general feeling of excitement and happiness they pick up on. Most of these pictures are of the dogs' antics this Saturday, with a couple of exceptions...


We were heartbroken that plans had to change, meaning we couldn't spend our niece's first birthday with her, but my goodness - that cake was delicious! Let's look at the positives!


Can you spot the three of them? They were quite content just staying there while we walked the dogs. Later on in the same walk, we saw a sparrowhawk, a short eared owl (which took off from right beside us) and a tiny little goldcrest.


Then Jess snuck through to the kitchen garden, and ate something... not sure what! But she wasn't sorry.


Orlando likes to take a stick on his walk, just so he has something to carry. But this one is a little ridiculous.


Lounging with the pups, enjoying the no-work weekend!


And what a special moment! Watching "The Muppet's Christmas Carol" for the first time this Christmas season. A sing-along version, of course!

Hmmm... I'm not sure what was going on here. Too much excitment about Christmas, perhaps.

The dogs' Christmas present arrived. Unfortunately, it said what it was on the package so the dogs knew instantly what it was, and they were very interested! Orlando started unwrapping it until Jess began growling at him. She says she saw it first.

And it's time for doggy advent calendar! Orlando is very focussed, while Jess... no, I just don't know what Jess is doing.
