Day after Christmas

Well we had a very amazing Christmas this year with almost all of the immediate family in attendance. We did Christmas Eve at my brother and sister-in-laws house. It was awesome food, great company and many laughs. What more could you ask for? We then had Christmas day at our house which was again yummy food, awesome company, many laughs and some serious ping pong competition. So far I had been the top dog in that department but my brother came in and dominated...I don't think he lost a game all day...Darn it...Got lots of practicing to do!!

We will finish up Christmas celebrations on Thursday when Dan's sister comes into town and we can celebrate with her...

Well I cheated a tad (I think it was being smart but whatever) and took my 16 week picture on Christmas Eve before I started eating...Here it is for your viewing pleasure....

And one more incidence to note our cute little dog Chewy had an emergency vet visit Thursday night around 9pm. So Dan and I get home from work on Thursday and I notice right away she can not leave her butt alone... I get a little suspicious and go check it out and it is hard as a rock on the right side. By this time Dan is home and is like well lets just make dinner and see how it goes. I notice it is going downhill fast during making dinner so Dan takes over and I start calling our vet to see if we can squeeze in before they close at 7. Mind you it is 6:30 at this time and they are like no we are already closing down...REALLY..so fine Dan and I eat dinner and clean up and do a few things around the house and check her out again around 8 and her butt is bright pink on the one side (My mom gave me this thought remember those monkeys we all saw at the zoo when we were little that had those bright pink butts...Well that is about what it looked like)...So I start calling the emergency vet and they think it is a infected anal gland...Had no idea she even had those and then Dan and I debate for a few minutes do we take her and pay out the wazoo or do we wait until the morning and take her to our normal vet which is covered under our insurance...I think I really won with this argument "Well if you had an infected anal gland that was about to burst would you want to wait all night to see the doctor?" With that we were off.. She had a little procedure done and she has been spoiled rotten ever since even getting to sleep in bed with us for a few nights....But she is fine... Here she is attacking an old stocking we had...
