Christmas is approaching...

It's been really pretty outside lately.. Well.. It's just started raining again (yuck) but for a little while the entire world was frosted. We really like when it's just below freezing and not muddy at all while still not beeing too cold for long walkies. Mom particularly liked that first picture, but we've taken a few close-ups of the frost/ice too!

See how the ice is a lot higher up than the water below? Weird!
But something scary happened! Our bridges also got all frosty and creepy! Not pretty at all, and most likely fatal. Mom went across without thinking, but we're happy to say she arrived safely on the other side. Bajas the big momma's boy followed her, and he too arrived safely on the other side. So while we were debating what to do, Mom took out her camera and started calling us "chicken". Meanie.. Anyways - when she started to film us we decided we better risk our lives too, and came after them. Here's the evidence of the risks we took:




But now that it's raining again we're inside plotting what we're going to get our WhippetWorld Secret Santa-recipient. It's all lots of fun. We're writing cards for the card exchange too! It's really nice once the cards start arriving. Mom says she's spending all the money she's got left this month (and then some) to finance all our international correspondance. We've noticed there's a card exchange between the DWB dogs too. We aren't joining that this year, but perhaps we'll make Mom work extra hard next year so we can attend this too!

Kisses,
Bajas, Coco & Nimbus

It's getting cold here and our Mom is happy because we don't get all muddy when we go out to play.

We can't wait for the cards to start rolling in too. It's so fun.

Love, Seadra and Zoe

Hey WriggleButts,

We love our walks, even in the cold..But our favorite thing to do is lie by the wood stove and stay snuggly warm.

Hey, guys!

We have frost every morning now, but some days it gets really warm in the afternoon, so we're having a little seasonal confusion.

Sorry you won't be in the DWB card exchange, but, I'm sure you'll get lots of good cards from the Whippet Network!

Goober love,
Stanley
