Keli's Korner ~ The Westie and The Wauzer

Christmas 2008

I've been sharing my Christmas card photos from 2002 , 2003 and 2004 , while getting Penny ready for her first Christmas here with us. Guess what I found this week? My little green pocketbook from my 2002 photo: It's a bit chewed up, but I knew it was still around here somewhere! Now, I just need to hide it from Penny, she steals all my old favorites. Anyway, back to our Christmas card review -- here's our Christmas card from 2005 (click on an image to see it larger) : Against my better judgment, Donna took me to Petsmart for a professional photographer to take my holiday pictures. This picture of me sitting in a chair is the only one where my mouth is not open with my tongue hanging out all over. The other pictures have me sitting in a basket of faux autumn leaves , posing with a flag and sitting in a bathtub with a rubber duckie . She's got me wearing a bandana this time . . . at least it isn't another silly neck ruffle. In 2006, we sent a letter to Santa

Last time, I showed our Christmas photo cards from my first Christmas in 2002. Here's the next Christmas card, from 2003 (click on any image to see it larger) : That's not really me, in the photo, its a snow-Westie wearing my collar. You wouldn't believe how many relatives asked Donna how she got me to stand so still for this photo. Nobody asked her how she got Rich to stand out there in the snow . . . Here's a real photo of me from 2003, in yet another goofy neck ruffle (I really hate those things): I think I look much more festive in my red sweater -- too bad that doesn't fit me anymore, either: In 2004, I was super cool with my squeaky candy cane: Here I am hanging out in front of our real fireplace: I was pretty tired from ripping apart playing with all my new toys: Next time, we'll look at the Christmas cards from 2005 and 2006 (we didn't do a card in 2007). Maybe by then our Westie Christmas tree will be up and I can show you pictures of all our

Everyone is getting ready for Christmas around here. I'm just trying to stay out of the way and keep Penny from getting into trouble. It's her first Christmas here and she doesn't have a clue what its about. I betcha she was really wild last year for her first family and that's why they sent her away. We are looking back at all my Christmas pictures, so she'll maybe learn a thing or two. But I doubt it. Here I am posing for my first Christmas card in December 2002, right after I had my first real haircut at home: I came, I $hopped . . . I maxed out my credit card! Isn't my little green pocketbook so fashionable! I ripped it to shreds a few days later. Hey, I was only a puppy back then, it was my job. But I'm pretty sure I saved the remnants around here somewhere to cuddle with . . . . That neck ruffle doesn't come close to fitting me anymore, thank goodness. I really *did not* like wearing it at all. It doesn't even fit Penny either, so
