It has been a busy month for us. The first weeks Mommy and Daddy went to a beautiful Choral concert - a real treat for them since they both were in choir many years ago. The next day, they bought gifts for our church's "Adopt-A-Families" and then wrapped them. They said that was very fun. We also bought a couple of gifts for the "Toys for Tots" program.
Daddy had an all day seminar, so Ringo and I went over to our friend, Jennifer's house for a play date. We really enjoyed playing with our puppy and human friends! Ringo is a real character!
This past week Mommy and Daddy went to two Christmas parties. The first one was for the Writers' Group. It was great seeing all of our old friends and catching up. The next day they went to a party at Mommy's friend Sheila's house. They have known each other for many years. It was very festive and had a Danish theme! A lot of fun!
Our dear friend, Kathy gave Ringo his first Christmas present. It was for both of us, but I let Ringo open it. He was very excited - they were home made doggy treats! I know he will share with me because I taught him how to share. He is a good boy!
Ringo's first birthday is December 22nd! We are very excited about it, it is hard to believe he has been with us for 5 months - time really flies!
Along with all the outings, we managed to hang up our Christmas stockings, send a few cards and wrap a few presents. We don't put up a tree because the ornaments are too tempting for a puppy!
We also donated a few books to a Children's Hospital in Wisconsin, filled a few book orders and sent out a couple promo videos. Very, very busy!
Mommy found out her foot had multiple fractures and three torn tendons, so she is in a tall boot and on crutches. It had been misdiagnosed a few months ago, so there are some stress fractures, too. She is adjusting quickly and chasing us around with her little scooter. It's race time down the hallways at our house! Never a dull moment.....
Love,
Boomer! The Mellow Yellow Lab
