Wordless Wednesday: Presents!

This is our first Christmas with Rita so it will be fun to see how she reacts to everything. We've been spoiling her and letting her open any presents she gets early. She seems to love the gift idea, and tears right in to the paper. (I've never had a dog that didn't instinctively know how to open a wrapped gift. I swear, dog toys must have a specific odor.)
"Let me in there!"


She's pretty excited about this whole gift thing...
"OMD! It's a MONKEY!"
"This is MY monkey. Let go of it!"

But I'm not too sure she'll be thrilled about a strange man with a heavy beard and floppy hat coming in to our house in the middle of the night next week - even if he does leave presents.

Speaking of strangers at the house... the yard renovation work continues. We've had some set backs in the time line because of rain.
At least all the trenches are gone, but it's still tough getting in and out of the yard.
"That first step is a doosey, Momma."

Hopefully the work will all be done soon! Rita wants her yard back.

Happy Slightly-less-wordy Wednesday!

    It looks like her eyes are bugging out over that monkey. Indy is getting a realistic looking bear that is crammed into her stocking. Amazingly she has not been poking around it.

    I spoke too soon. Indy was just barking at her stocking in the little bark she uses when she wants something she can't get at.

    I LOVE having dogs unwrap their own presents, it is so much fun. We even get the cats to unwrap their presents most years.
