I absolutley love Bounce's picture with Santa! She seems to have done great with him. Tough times always try to pull us down but you are such a strong and corageous woman that I am postive you will pull through. With health, we can do just about anything we want or dream of! Sendong lots of hugs and kisses to you and Bounce. I can't wait to meet her one day!

I"m sure I've missed some marker issues and I feel very badly about that. This has just been a roller coaster time for me and it's hard to 'put on a happy face'. Don't mean to be mysterious, let me just say that I have no health issues, thank goodness.

On the bright side, of course, is my little girl, Bounce! She's so funny. She wakes me up every morning by jumping on my chest and licking me to death. This is her way of telling me it's time for breakfast. She's almost 100% pad trained - again I did it in an unconventional way, but it worked for us.

Today, I took her to see Santa. This is the same Santa who saw Bonnie every year. He came over to greet her and I told him that Bonnie left us and that this was Bounce. He gave me a big hug and said he was very sorry about Bonnie. Then he focused all his attention on Bounce, chatting with her and petting her. She wasn't so sure about him at first, but I think she warmed to him.

So, here are this year's first pictures of Bounce with the wonderful Santa at Bloomingdale's! Happy Holidays to all!

thanks, Pam. Bounce is almost 9 months old. She was born on St. Patrick's Day.

I'm sorry you're having a hard time. I lost my Buffy last December a couple of weeks before Christmas and it was not a very good Christmas. I'm glad you have Bounce to help you and she is so adorable!

LOL, the REAL Santa is the weekday Santa!

Thanks, Cory - I think she got used to him. She's very good with strangers. Not the least bit shy. Still a little skittish around bigger and more rambunctious dogs, but I'm not really worried about that. She is a little wee one. She'd love to meet you, too!
