Christmas goes to the dogs

Most of the time our house is a pretty quiet place.  Not so at Christmas when kids, grandkids, friends of same....and dogs descend upon us.  I don't show a lot of people pics, but them dogs....

Old Dog snoozes on the sofa.

The young dogs tussle and growl at each other.

The first dog drama of the holiday actually came a couple of days earlier when one of the hounds, noting the tree in the house and recalling what trees are especially good for....well, use your imagination.  The incident was later memorialized in block construction with the grandkids.

Oh there was also the usual stuff.  Good food and plenty of it.  Presents for those of an age to be interested in same.  One of our boys got this interesting gift, a Willie Nelson Chia Pet.  I'm not sure just what kind of seeds this comes with.  As Mr. Nelson says on the box:  FUN TO GROW!
