Hello December 2015

It has been a very busy last several days for us! We had a very quiet Thanksgiving Day and managed to put up our Christmas trees the following 2 days after Thanksgiving Day! Yes I said [trees]. We always put up our main tree in the front of our home and then a small live Christmas tree for our furbabies. It is a tradition now we have done for 5 years now.  We Wish you a very Merry Christmas to everyone around the world!  Here are a few pictures from Thanksgiving and then getting ready for Christmas.

This picture was taken days before Thanksgiving Day this year.
We always post some kind of a seasonal holiday photo banners for our social media sites

The Charlie Basset Hound Cookie Jars. In the Basset Hound & Rescue Community around the world these are very popular. These were shipped to us as gifts from across the United States. We have been involved in Basset Hound Rescue since 2011. These little fellas came from both Maine & Michigan. I decided to buy 2 hats at the Dollar Tree to make these look festive in our kitchen. $1.00 per hat!

My Husband and I worked on creating this Christmas Centerpiece together. We made this in 2012. We place a fresh poinsettia in the center every year. It is lighted. We like the DIY-Do It Yourself fun!

  My husband working with me on Our Christmas Tree this year.

        

This is our yearly set up up The Furbaby Christmas Tree. Pet-Parents and Animal Rescuers
around the world understand this concept.

Every year for 5 years my sweet husband Curt has sat down and talked to our oldest basset hound Benny before their new toys and presents end up under the tree. He's continued to do this same thing every year since with every furbaby of ours-fosters included ♡ This is Benny and Curt this year ♡ ‪  You see, my husband and I were never blessed with human children so these wonderful little basset hounds are known around the world as "our" furbabies-the canine version of children. 

 Our 2nd to the oldest Basset Hound, also a rescue- Baby Dewey and Curt this year.

This is our youngest Basset Hound, also a rescue-Gabby Lynn; She found "Mr. Cuddles who arrived by way of Airmail from her Basset Hound Cousins Loui & Lola in the United Kingdom this year.  Basset Hound Rescue is a BIG DEAL! 

This year is our Gabby Lynn's 2nd Christmas. The picture shows her as a
baby on her 1st Christmas in 2014 just weeks after we rescued her. She sure has grown!

And last but not least is this picture of me yesterday downtown Fort Worth, Texas taking care of some personal business with my dear husband Curt. See my Frosty the Snowman Scarf???

Merry Christmas everyone! If I get anything for Christmas this year beside just having my sweet husband beside me which is really enough, I hope to just get my hair colored! In the last few weeks I have been invaded by gray hairs! #StresWillGetcha
