Our Christmas Dog is a Scrooge!

Last year Jared gave Penguin to me as a surprise Christmas present. He is a very smart (sometimes too smart) dog and we're putting him through training to help him be more obedient. He catches on very quickly and is very loving and friendly. We always say that he loves people too much to ever run away. For the most part, Penguin really is a great dog.

However, I found out today when I got home that our Christmas dog is a Scrooge! We put up our tiny little Christmas tree last night and he didn't seem too interested in it then, but apparently it got a lot more fun when he was home alone. When I arrived the tree was knocked over, red ornaments were crushed into the carpet, and all the candy canes mysteriously were gone. He even opened one of the presents early (luckily, everything inside was safe and sound)

What a Grinch! It's a good thing you're cute, dog, or else you'd be banished to the Island of Misfit Toys.

Speaking of banishment, I decided to delete (or as close to delete as blogger will allow) my other blog, The Story Keeper. I will be keeping a more professional, "writerly" blog at
http://livingwithdelusionsofgrandeur.blogspot.com/
to keep my writing stuff and my family stuff somewhat separate. I'll be able to network better and since I'm getting school credit for it, too, I'll be posting a lot more often! Plus, it just means you'll probably be hearing from me on this blog more often, too!

I hope you guys are all having a Merry Christmastime
