Basenjis Party Too Hard!

Last night Toni + Calvin had some wild shenanigans. New Christmas toys were played with too hard and they each ate a foot long bully!!! Even Happy did a lot of pacing indoors and exploring in the snowy yard. This morning none of the basenjis wanted to get out of bed as visions of cookie plumb fairies were still dancing in their furry heads.

Santa!!!

Santa Paws came last night and my were the dogs excited this morning! Calvin unwrapped ALL the presents (even those not for him)!!! Toni + Calvin each got 2 toys from Santa and Toni got some additional chewies and a lovely reindeer from her mommy #1 (Sondra). Happy got some "gourmet" dog food and a pint of vanilla Haagen Daas which she will be eating later this morning.

FYI: Happy + Toni have the Santa hats on, Happy is the one who is gray and longer in the face; Toni has a darker and smaller face. Calvin is the lighter basenji with the red bandanna.

Here comes Toni Claus!

The Saddest Girl in the World

There is an old song that goes "Did you happen to see the saddest girl in the world?" Well, we have been getting snow storms back to back and painfully cold weather for over a week -- which means no walks for Toni, Calvin, and Happy. Poor Toni has been taking this the hardest as she lives for her daily walks. I took this photo of Toni after she had been looking out the window at all the snow filling up her precious sidewalk. Thankfully, Toni wears her booties and we were able to do a short walk today (Calvin stayed home as he has an ear infection).

Oh, and I have no idea how that pillow got onto the back of the couch. Perhaps Toni brought it up there with her!!!
