Warmest holiday greetings from me, mom, dad and whoever this guy is.
You know, it's bad enough dad occasionally gives his attention to the boss's pooch, but this is a whole other level. As it is, dad will be spending the week between Christmas and New Year's Eve with the slobbering, thinks-he's-a-lapdog 140-pound mutt, thereby depriving me of his love, attention and servitude. Anyway, a couple of weekends ago, mom and dad were driving home from somewhere and as they whizzed past a local florist shop/garden center, dad said, "Oh look, a camel." Well, of course, mom, ever the child, shouted, "Ooohh, I wanna see the camel, I wanna pet the camel!" Dad turned the car around, pulled into the garden center and parked, and was barely able to restrain mom as they braved the icy breeze and headed toward mom's new BFF for the day. There were chickens, goats, rabbits, and a llama, and, of course, the target of mom's barely controlled giddiness. Here's an outtake, and I've gotta add that dad often takes liberties with his descriptions of mom's, umm, youthfulness, let's call it. I've been around them long enough now to confirm that it actually balances out his ever-increasing crotchety old man-ness.
So yeah, Merry Christmas to all, and may this holiday season be filled with all the warmth and joy you can handle.

Merry Christmas to you and your mom and dad, Smudge! That is a fun photo of your mom with the camel, and the outtake too.
A camel, now there's a new way for Santa Claus to have someone pull his sleigh. I guess he needs that one he's visiting the desert. Let's just hope your mommy does not get on that Camel and right away! We wish all three of you the very best Christmas and New Year there could be. We so enjoy having you stop by and we love seeing what you post for us Smudge.
