The Last Day of The Year

So, here we are again. Last day of another year, another year that sucked big time, another year I would really rather not repeat, another year that there is no one to kiss that I would want to kiss on this night of nights, another year of being stuck, just another year I would not want to repeat (yeah I know I already said that).

But, 2017 is another year and I guess we'll just have to see how it goes.  As far as resolutions go, I only have 2, and I will post those tomorrow.

In the mean time,

At Long Last

Last night Bob was happily chewing on his toy, minding his own bulldog business, and so I got up quietly and grabbed his sweater, hiding it from him when he glanced over at me, and then I snuck up behind him and quickly got it over his head and one paw in before he even realized what was happening. He sat there in shock and I managed to get his other paw in and as you can see, he is not happy....

But man it was worth it. lol

You Would Never Have Known...

...that it was Christmas at my house today.

Only clue could have been:

Other than that, nada.

December Pictures

When you don't have kids at home anymore, you tend to work with what you have.

First up, CaliGirl in her little elf outfit I got her. Is she adorable or what? (You can't see Bob, but he's watching it all and you can tell he is thinking he is glad this isn't him.)

Sunday the dogs were just sitting here like this, perfectly posed, so of course I had to take their picture. It was kind of funny because they just watched me walk around them taking shots of them, and they didn't move. Which was surprising but made for good pics, even if there was a lot of sun glare.

This one was my favorite:

 And then yesterday when I left work, it wasn't dark yet but we had a full moon already. The picture really doesn't do it justice to how it really looked.

More pictures to follow once I get my office decorations done. Hopefully tomorrow. It would be nice if I would do the same with my house.

Christmas Pictures And Such

Saturday I got to do something fun, and it was taking Christmas pictures of my newlywed co-worker and her husband and their Old English Bulldog, Mattis.  I had a really nice time doing it, and got some great shots of them, especially the dog.  At first he didn't seem to want to cooperate, but after a few minutes he was like this model dog and looked straight at the camera every time.  )All I could think of is my dogs would never do that, they would be all over the place. lol)  The only thing is...I haven't heard any feedback from them about it (and she isn't at work today), so it leaves me wondering if they don't like them or what, and I don't want to ask.  Maybe when she comes in tomorrow.

I  bought our dogs ugly Christmas sweaters that I am going to try and coax them into and take their pictures too. I'm not really worried about CaliGirl because she is pretty easy going, but Bob...he more than likely isn't going to take kindly to it so we'll see.  I also bought them little hats and I put one on Cali and she did not like that at all.  She kept running around trying to get it off and even running to Bob as if to say "Help me get this off!!" and Bob just backed away from her. I showed Bob his and he tried to snatch it out of my hands to chew on it. But I will get it on him. Eventually.

We finally bought Cali another pillow to put in her crate. She's had a blanket in there for a couple of weeks and has been doing fine with it, not chewing it up or anything, so we went to Wal-Mart and bought a cheap bed for her.  So far so good (then again it has only been two nights), but I meant to take it out of her crate this morning before I went to work and I forgot, so depending on how bored she is today, we'll see what that bed looks like when we get home.

I really need to think about getting the office decorated and even our house; I thought I would do our house in honor of Mom, who loved Christmas and decorating for it and always did our house when she would come to visit.  Boy do I really miss her.

Almost The End of 2016

Wow...here we are in December already. 30 more days and we'll be in a brand new year. All I can say is I hope it is better than this past year.
