Dog Days


We all survived the family Christmas get-together. The pizza oven was a great success, with people selecting their own toppings and then the master pizza maker cooking their pizza for them. Everyone enjoyed it. It was a great way to deal with all the different allergies, dislikes, preferences, etc.

As usual at family gatherings I didn't get my camera out, and the one time I even thought of it I couldn't remember where the camera was. So no photos from me!

However my brother-in-law did send me this photo he took of Dot:

Dot found the whole day a bit stressful, as 3 extra dogs as well as all their people wandered around HER house and property. Jack was calmer, but people kept sitting in HIS chair. When everyone had gone the two dogs breathed a huge sigh and settled down to sleep it off.

Beautiful portrait of Dot. After posing so nicely she deserved to get some peaceful sleep. And hopefully no fireworks tonight to disturb the dogs!

The pizza parties are such a great idea, but it does keep the pizza cooker quite busy.

Sounds like a perfect way to spend christmas even though poor Dot found it stressful and Jack didn't like to share his chair....
Great photo of Dot.

Poor mites! Our dogs slept all the way home, a 2-1/2 hour trip, Christmas night. They had 5 days of dogs, people and food!

Pleased your family occasion went well. Lovely portrait of Dot, you should get a copy framed and now the 2 of them can relax in their favourite spots.
