Prince's Christmas Stocking

I'm sitting for Nan as my stocking comes down. On my best behavior!"
"A new rope tug toy! Yippee! Only the handle remains from last year's rope!"
"Now, where are the food treats? I know they are in there. Kong biscuits are good! And Greenies to clean my teeth, too....."
"Can you believe this stash? Having all your toys out at once is a good thing!"
"Heaven!"
Merry Christmas from Prince

Christmas Eve with Prince





It was Prince's first Christmas at Hallmark. He had his own stocking hanging on his crate and was expecting new toys and treats from Santa and Mrs. Claus.

Prince has brought us a year of joy and love. He is the best dog -- loving and gentle and full of mischief, too! With no shortage of surprises from Prince, his most recent escapade was digging under the fence in the night and coming home full of mud and a smile on his muzzle. At least he left the dead squirrel outside for us to find the next morning!

We love you Prince!

Holiday Dinner with Friends


Our good friends, Leonard & Claire and David & Shannon, came over for a holiday dinner on the 19th. John planned a colorful and festive menu for the night, and we all enjoyed good food and friendship. Can you smell the aroma from the pictures?

Squash Soup
Mixed Greens with Red & Yellow Raspberries and Pinenuts
Mozzarella Cheese with Cream & French Bread
Chicken Galantine with Green Peppercorn Sauce
Wild & Brown Rice
Green Beans with Tomato Concasse
Cheesecake with Espresso Chocolate Sauce & Pralines

Hope your holiday cooking (and eating) has been bountiful!


Love, Anne and John

Prince Goes Low Fat!


Fat? Smat? Low Fat? What Fat?

Prince went for his one year check up this morning, and the report was excellent. Well, everything except the weight. Prince is 63 pounds, and for his breed, the vet says that he needs to lose 10 pounds. So we are putting him on low-fat doggie food and ampping up the exercise routine. Maybe this will pay dividends for Bubba and Nan? Hope so!!


More walks in the woods are a good thing!


And more fetch time is just what we need!
