christmas happy puppy days

241208 - my beautiful children.
Our christmas eve is very typical Danish; we gather the family - this year 6 grownups( mom, dad, granddad, grandma, uncle and aunt) 2 kids, 1 puppy and 1 angry cat.. We eat roasted duck with potatoes, sweet potatoes, wonderful gravy, warm salad of red cabbage, and a rice dessert with warm cherry sauce. After this we gather hands around the tree and walk/run/dance around it while singing 3 carrols. This year this event was a bit hectic with the puppy constantly running the opposite way, trying to get a grab of the ladies skirts... Then we have coffee and all kinds of christmas sweets while we open all the presents that have been put down under the tree. At 11 pm it was all over, the guests were leaving and my eyes just didn't want to stay open any more... But in all a wonderful evening. Thank God it's a whole year until next time...

Our new status as dog owners is going quite well, the puppy Bundy is behaving very well and he is soooo sweet and funny. We struggle a bit with getting him to learn the rules of toilet stuff taking place outdoors, but I am sure we'll get there eventually...
The first week we were determined that his nights were to take place in the kitchen behind closed doors, and it was OK for some nights, but now, ah, well, to make a long story short: he now sleeps in our bedroom ( on the floor ! he WILL be a 60 kg bundle of joy in a short time..), and I must admit I do enjoy it. The sound of him is relaxing and him feeling safe and content is soothing... My husband claims Bundy and I both snore pretty much, but we don't believe him...
