Almost, Happy New Year!   While Nancy is off having work done on her old 🚗 car, I will at least start a new blog.   I totally forgot to thank my friend IKE, a Wire-Haired Fox Terrier, (photo enclosed of part of his family) for those yummy dog treats that one of his owners, Aria, made for me for Christmas –  Thank you Aria and Ike for thinking of me at Christmas time. Aria and Ike, the Pumpkin Puff Pet Treats are absolutely the best and I am savoring them for special moments so I can dream about meeting you in person.    The other cool part of your gift is that it has made Nancy aware of the need to learn how to make homemade dog treats for us – yippee!    Isn’t life grand to have friends that help friends – thanks Ike and Aria!  

Do you know that while I was not even thinking of receiving any Christmas gifts, I must admit, it was rather cool to get at least one gift at Christmas other than from Nancy!   I already have written in other blogs that we are constantly getting gifts from our owners, so every day is like Christmas for us.  I will still stick to what I always say  in that the best gifts are free!  Along with Aria’s homemade gift came the ❤️ love that she put into the gift – she is so special!
