Dog Day: Merry Merry Happy Happy

by Ricki Heller 21 Comments

Merry Christmas to all of you who are celebrating today! I hope that Santa brought you something magical.

And to all DDD readers, I wanted to take a moment to thank you all for being such an integral part of Diet, Dessert and Dogs.ย  Your wonderful comments and emails, your suggestions, opinions, questions–and, of course, your continued support of this blog–are why I keep coming back to this space with enthusiasm and curiosity.ย  I can’t wait to see what this next year brings.

I wish you all a healthy, happy, love-filled holiday season spent with the people (and animals) who mean the most to you. In our house, that means these two get to chillax by the fireplace today and be spoiled by Mum and Dad.

The Girls at Christmas on Diet, Dessert and Dogs

“Mum, the chillaxing part sounds good, but having this blanket over our heads isn’t exactly relaxing. . .delicate dog ears, and all that. . . . though we do appreciate the fireplace.”

The Girls at Chirstmas on Diet, Dessert and Dogs

“Ah, yes, much better, Mum.ย  This will allow us to focus more on the ‘be spoiled by Mum and Dad’ part.ย  So where are our treats presents?”

HAPPY HOLIDAYS, EVERYONE! ๐Ÿ˜€

    Merry Christmas, Ricki! The girls look so very innocent with the blanket over their heads. Chaser looks particularly nun-like. Is she auditioning for a remake of “The Nun’s Story”?

    I hope you guys are having a wonderful celebration! ๐Ÿ™‚

    What a sweet picture of the girls!!! Happy Holidays to you too, Ricki. Thank you for DD!!! You’re such a treasure.

    I look forward to getting back into blogging on a regular schedule and participating in link parties in the New Year. Busy moving in our new home, decorating, organizing…making trips to the snow in between and enjoying my husband’s vacation. Busy, but all good.

    Wishing you well. Love and peace to you in the New Year.

    Warmly,
    –Amber

      Thank you so much, Kathy, such a sweet thing to say–and so much appreciated! You have no idea how happy it makes me to read that the blog and recipes are useful in your life. And, of course, The Girls are always happy to receive any kind of compliment (“Yes, thanks, Kathy! And we love the descriptor of “root beer”–we hear it’s quite tasty, too!“)

      Sending all good wishes back to you. This blog wouldn’t exist without wonderful readers like you–and that makes it so gratifying to me, too. Hope you have a fabulous 2013 as well! Hugs to you! ๐Ÿ™‚

      I think that’s actually fear on Chaser’s face, to tell you the truth. . . she hates anything on her head! Happy Holidays to you, too. And have a great New Year’s! xo
