ALEX'S LINKS
Visit this site to see Alex's canine friends in their own place. Some day, we will figure out how to put this on the sidebar so it is not lost in the Archive. Meanwhile, enjoy!
White Christmas in Cincinnati
Some folks are digging out from our record snow this week. Some are not. I tell folks we live on a hill, kind of like the inside of a spoon when there is snow and ice. Can't get anywhere without going up. So true, and so slippery.
Alex is finally able to enjoy the snow from Wednesday again! It has been pretty cold out. OK, truth is, he enjoyed it, I just could not get any pictures.
This morning, we walked down the road to the right behind Alex. This leads to a dead end on the hillside where we sometimes let the dogs play and run. Alex was in sucha hurry this morning he litterally pulled me all the way DOWN. Good thing we didn't ge a picture of that!

Dog's Night Before Christmas
Dog's Night Before Christmas
Author Unknown
Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.
My dogs were nestled, all snug in "MY" bed,
While visions of chewie toys danced in their heads.
I in my sweat pants and Dad in his sweater,
Had just settled down to read the Great Dog Reporter,
When up on the roof there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my chair to see what was the matter!
Off to the window I flew in a flash,
Tore open the shutter and threw up the sash.
The moon on the crest of the new fallen snow
Gave a luster of midday to the objects below.
And what to my wondering eyes did appear
but a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer.
With a little old driver so lively and quick
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
With a sputter of ashes -- a flurry of soot,
He slid down the chimney with all of his loot.
My Dogs stood there so regal and proud,
Guarding their home with barks oh so loud.
St. Nick showed no fear and called them by name,
He knew in his heart they were gentle and tame.
He brought out his list, checking it twice.
"Well, my beauties, all year you've been very nice.
I have in my bag toys and much more,
Just tell me what you pups really long for."
My dogs talked to each other -- much to my surprise
and turned to Santa with tears in their eyes,
"We have chewies and balls and ropes to be tugged,
We are pampered and coddled and petted and hugged.
But for Christmas, dear Santa, we have but one care,
that all dogs be loved as much as we are.
We want no dog beaten, whipped or chained,
No dog abandoned, abused or maimed.
We want all dogs, no matter what size,
to see love reflected in their master's eyes."
St. Nick stopped for a moment to gather his wits,
"I have nothing to stop humans from being such twits."
All dogs are so beautiful and are such a treasure,
Living only to be loved and give humans pleasure.
This lesson I will try to teach
Then maybe your wish will be within my reach."
St. Nick leaned over and kissed each beautiful head.
"Now you gentle giants, go off to bed.
Think good thoughts and dream good dreams
Of running and jumping and playing in streams."
St. Nick turned to me, his face wet with tears.
"Be proud of your babies, they are such dears."
In an instant St. Nick disappeared in a poof,
And I heard him chuckle as he ran on the roof.
He jumped in his sleigh and to his team gave a whistle,
and off he flew like the down on a thistle.
And I heard him exclaim as they drove out of sight,
"Merry Christmas to All and To All Dogs a Good Life!"

Crown Classic Dog Shows, Cleveland 2004
We drove up Friday night to Cleveland and my second dog show. We were busy all the rest of the weekend. I had to sleep when I could. Guarding the hotel room was tough work! I hope nobody comes to the door now!

Wednesday, my neighbor friend went Christmas shopping all day in Brown County Indiana. That left me without someone to sponsor my afternoon potty break. So, I got to go to work with Pat! Big disappointment when I had to stay in the car - BAH! About 10, she took me to the local vet/boarding clinic where I had stayed before each puppy class. I got to see Joey and all the other folks that work there. I had not visited in 3-4 months. I was real excited when Pat came back for me, though. I jumped up on the glass window when I saw her and then ran to her as soon as Joey let me go. I like to visit, but I LOVE to go home!
