hi there everyone. It has been a kinda hectic weekend, by our choice, of course. it just seems like the days get shorter and shorter, which makes it hard to accomplish anything... but we did. Gertrude got her last round of shots on Friday and she is free and clear and ready to rumble outside. So, Saturday we went to a dog park very near to our house and had a lot of fun. Lauren and Zoe the chihuahua came too, and even though there weren't too many dogs there, we all had a really fun time. i was so impressed with Muppy being social with other dogs, it really made my weekend. Gerti is of course at her cutest when she is out playing, so that was fun too. Today, Sunday, we went into Oxnard to pick up a Christmas tree from my mom (and of course the puppies got to visit their cousin Tilly who lives there)- our first tree... it is so beautiful, i love it. we set it up when we got home, but were too tired to trim it. probably tomorrow night that will happen. i am posting some pics of the dogs at the park, as well as one from tonight of Gerti admiring the tree right after we got it set up.
