We would like to wish one of our very most favorite people a very Happy Birthday today….our Dad. We cannot even begin to tell you how much he means to us. He hugs us, cuddles us and is always there when we need him. He never turns away one of our kisses and is so very patient with all of us. He even shares his cheerios with us…of course Mom doesn't know. In our opinion there is just not a better Dad in the whole wide world!! Hope he shares his cake with us. Of course we may have a bit of a wait while he blows all of those candles out.

We pupsters were all excited today. We had our first dusting of snow. Now Mom and Dad aren't doing somersaults over seeing the snow falling, but we pupsters on the other hand love to romp and play it it. We have so much fun trying to catch the snowflakes. Sydney was out with Mom today exploring the new fallen snow. He loves to be where ever she is at…he is soooo spoiled!

Hey all you pupster boys! Kori reporting in from Florida. You know how disgusting you boys were always being while I was there? Well, here is a little pay back for you. Yep, me showing my altogether! So, how does it feel guys? My apologies to all of my foster pupster sisters, but I just felt this was necessary. I'll bet you are chuckling behind your paws. Sure miss all of you!!

My name is Casanova and I live in Nevada. I sent this picture for all of you to let you see how cool I look in my Christmas belly band. I am not a big fan of belly bands, but you know what? The ones Mom has been buying me are pretty cool and everyone tells me how cute I look. So, if they get me attention I am for that. If any of you pupsters out there want to look as cool as me just visit the Gift Shop and pick out your Christmas belly band.

Mom, would you come here please? You know how you tell us it is not polite to whisper? Well, someone needs to talk to Petula, Savvy and Nougat. They have been in this huddle for about 5 minutes and keep whispering in each others ears. They then point their paws at me and snicker. They definitely need a course in pupster etiquette!

Hey Pupsters! Shasta here for my monthly visit. Do you all recognize this look? Yep, it is the "Where's my popcorn look". Yep, Mom and Dad make popcorn just like I had when I was staying with you. You just have to stare them right in the eye keeping the look rather pathetic and you can always get the first piece of popcorn. We sure have them wrapped right around our paws don't we? Took a lot of practice in front of the mirror to get this look just right.

I am telling you Mom that no matter what BJ tells you Coconut here did not steal his treats. If anyone would be guilty of that it would be BJ. What a food monger he is! I would never even consider doing something like that. Besides, I am very loving and gentle with the senior pupsters for I know how very special they are.

It has been awhile since we have had a wrestling match. Mom has really been keeping tabs on us for as you know she does not believe in betting. She was really busy today so we figured this was our opportunity to make a few treats here and there. Peeka and Temple are really entertaining us. We girls are rooting for Peeka and have a feeling she may win out on this one!

Whew, have we ever been busy! This past week has been filled with shopping, baking and decorating. Mom gets a little out of control this time of year you know. We warned Lolly to head for the hills when we saw Mom getting out the Christmas hats. We told her grab your cart quick and escape! Unfortunately she wasn't fast enough. We'll have to admit she looks pretty cool!!

I am listening to every word your saying Mom. Jake here did not nor would I ever consider deliberately tripping Mason when he was headed out the doggy door. You know how clumsy he is at times. What do you mean there are witnesses? Well, surely you will take my word over theirs for I would never tell an untruth. What do you mean my halo is slipping?

Well, today was the big day for our Braden. All of us pupsters were so excited for him. He was such a sad little boy when he arrived and we admired how brave he was as he went through surgery for his ears. We all love him so much. Fenton and Keegan came to meet and greet him. We were so happy to see both of them again. The three boys got along famously although Keegan was his normal bossy self. We know Braden is going to be so happy, but we sure are going to miss him!

Suzy reporting in from Florida. We are all ready for the holidays. Kori decided to take a little nap and missed out on the picture, but I was ready for the photo shoot. Pretty neat tree, don't you think? That bow is awfully tempting though. I'll make sure and point it out to Kori when she wakes up. Not that I would want to get her in trouble or anything. It is the season for giving so I am just giving her a tip!

Hi all you pupsters, I know I visited earlier in the month, but just had to show you this! See my new baby? Now Mom says that this is not a real baby, but Shasta here has checked this out and I am telling you this is the real thing. I think I am in love. I can't wait to play with her once she wakes up from her nap. Eat your hearts out pupster boys, she is mine…all mine! And I don’t' need any surprise visits from any of you.

Hey Mom, Dad and Pupsters. Braden reporting in from my new home. Wow, do I ever like it here and Keegan, Fenton and I even have our own personal wicker basket to snuggle in. The food is good, the cuddles are wonderful and I know I am loved so much. Doesn't get any better than this!

Tinky, Cassidy and Happy here waiting patiently for Mom to take us shopping. We thought all of you pupsters would enjoy seeing us again. We are all doing wonderfully and are looking forward to all the goodies under the tree this year. We all wish you pupsters, Auntie Jan and Unkie Bruce a Merry Christmas!
December 22, 2011

All of us pupsters would like to thank all of you for the wonderful cards and notes we have received this Holiday Season. We look forward to the mail arriving and Mom reads each card to us. It feels so good to hear about how all of our Foster Sister and Brothers are doing. We all hope to someday have our very own special homes also.

All of us pupsters would like to wish all of you the very best Christmas ever. We feel so blessed to have all of you as friends. This has been a wonderful Christmas for all of us. We have been very, very good and Santa arrived with a sleigh full of goodies for us. We are enjoying each other immensely today, relaxing and getting lots and lots of hugs and kisses. We are even sharing all of our toys and getting along wonderfully. We all send out special pupster hugs to all of you.

On the 24th tragedy struck our family. Our cousin Craig at the young age of 49 passed away unexpectedly. Cousin Craig was our huggy teddy bear. He always had a big smile for all and shared his bear hugs with everyone. He particularly had a soft spot for the little ones on this earth. His four children and five grandchildren will miss his soft touch so much. Please keep his father Unkie Lorry, his mother Auntie Barb, his brothers Cousin Bradley, Cousin Kevin and Cousin Brian and all of our family in your prayers as we say our final goodbyes today to one of the gentlest souls God could have placed on this earth. He will be missed so much.

We pupsters can't believe that 2011 is at an end. As usual Mom just couldn't sit back, relax and let us enjoy the programs this evening. When the whites of Precious' eyes show you'd best get the pupsters off the street. Then to top that off Mom made us each make a hat and wear it as it approached midnight. Again, as you can see by Precious' expression she was not thrilled.

Better her than us! We do love Mom so much, but hopefully her camera will get lost next year. The upside was that we all got special treats as we watched the end of the year approach. We want to thank all of you for visiting us during the year and a special thank you to all who are so kind to us. We wish you a very prosperous New Year and look forward to sharing our lives with you in 2012.
