It sure is great to be back home again. I've been in California (visiting Mom and sister & family) then on to Arizona (visiting daughter & family) and am now back home, jet-lagged and extremely exhausted but happy to be in my own bed again.
Got home late afternoon and after dinner I insisted we put up the Christmas tree and decorate the home. After all, it's only once a year so I want all the festivities to begin as soon as possible!
We have one of those trees-in-a-box that you just pull out and there it is, ready to decorate. It's always fun bringing up the ornaments - some of which we've had since our childhood - and all the memories that come with them.
However, I'd forgotten what it's like to have Christmas trees, ornaments, garlands, and lights with puppies around. Blitz was ill last year so we didn't have an accurate Puppy Representation. Moto filled in that spot this year getting into everything with his big nose, tangling himself in garland, knocking over the tree several times, and then trying to pull off some of the more interesting looking ornaments. Of course all the commotion excited the other dogs who did a great job running around the house barking. It was the liveliest Christmas decorating we've had for quite some time!
In the end the tree finally got decorated, nothing broke and things look very nice around the house.
I'm hoping to get some rest and begin training tomorrow. My goal is to enter Shiloh, Blitz and Moto in our March trial. Shiloh will do Utility B, Blitz Novice B and Moto Pre-Novice. So I need to get busy!
