The next day after the next day of Christmas

 Whaaat?  Actually we were gone for those "next days".  We trekked with the two little furkids to Washington state to have Christmas with our daughter and her husband.  It was wonderful and although our son and family couldn't make it, they had their holiday with family also.   I got an Ipod which my son-in-law and daughter helped me to understand. (difficult for ol' dogs to learn new tricks) and some really wonderful clay-fired plant markers. We also saw some sights there and the weather cooperated.

So speaking of the furkids, Hildy had to stay in the kennel here, but she does really well and we feel that we have her in a caring and safe environment.  Notice that she has decided to sit in little Spencer's bed to view the world outside and this morning she climbed up into his bed!  I barely could believe my eyes when she hopped up, turned around a time or two and plopped her 50 plus pounds in his 15 pound bed!  Needless to say, he was a little confused and kept looking at me for some explanation. They are so funny!



On one of our trips out while we were in Washington, we went to Boston Harbor.  Yes, there is a Boston Harbor there.  We had picked up some shrimp and crab for our Christmas eve seafood boil and walked out to view the sights.  We encountered a family there and after prying this fellow from his grip just under the surface, we were given a lesson on how to tell a male crab from a female and quite frankly, I don't remember which is which.  The one we ate was much larger and wonderful!
