| Christmas 2019 Puppies in PJs |
Merry Christmas to all! I wish you joy, happiness and peace in your world and your heart. Sometimes you just have to make your new puppy the star of the show. So this year's Christmas theme is Puppies in PJs. Now I've never dressed a puppy in a pair of pajamas but it is a cute idea. Charlotte came to the farm in August to learn to be a guardian dog for the rest of the girls. She didn't come with many skills except a lot of bouncing which scared the goats and chickens instead of bonding with them. We're all working on it.
The picture above shows the signature Charlotte Christmas ornament. There's also an ornament of a Dalmation ( that would be Oscar ~ 1984) and a picture frame of Madison ( ~1988).

She is too cute, isn't she? Such a sweet face and she will cuddle with you until you've just had enough. She is so gentle with the small dogs in the neighborhood but has the will to take on a coyote if it dares come in our yard.
And the other baby in the barnyard is Poppy:

So my farm grew in 2019 and filled me with more love and laughs....well and some work too.

And let us all remember what Christmas really means:

Cookie day is tomorrow. Sue and I will be busy in the kitchen making tasty treats for our friends. We'll share stories like this one of my mother creating wooden reindeer and painting them beautifully and with so much love:

I'll freshen up my memories of Christmas past and ornaments and gifts from years prior:

I'll be both happy and sad when I look at this pic of my 3 generation family and remember that CoCo just passed a few days ago:

Where do goats go after they leave us?
And then cycle back to the newest kid on the farm and be grateful and happy:
Have a Merry Christmas and make sure you hug the ones you love----human and animal!
