I don't know, but I'm sure it'll rob me of whatever shred of dignity I have left.

And finally: Holiday Headwear

Holiday headwear doggy made me so happy with his smiles!! 🎅🎄💕
That’s a Samoyed for you, they’re such happy doggos and look like they’re always smiling. Always loved them and would love to have one but the amount they shed is ridiculous.
Such warm fuzzy stories today, Good way to start the day. Cat burglar cat cracked me up. How he manages to haul some of the stuff home amazed me.
I thought it might be MayaPolarBear but apparently it’s a pup called Boomer the Landcloud.
But since I was looking at her instagram (she even has similar wood floors)…what were you saying about shedding? 😉
That dog seemed to have a blast! Also Samoyed fur spins up like silk, I’ve been told.
Miracle kitties and a Chrismutts Story! Merry Christmas Eve, everyone!
Happy Holidays, everyone!
Doggie nativity is a riot. If it was utter chaos, as the pastor stated, and they’re thinking about cats next year, they don’t really understand what they’re unleashing.
Hurrah for miracle kitties! Keith the cat has me howling–especially mom telling him that diamonds and cash would be better.
My clowder of elves:
Jingle Twinkle Tails
Vixen Mistletoe (sounds more like a p&rn star than an elf)
Holly & Candy Winter Wonderland (who ask me to remind everybody that they’re BOYS)
Sleepy McHairball
Down to the basement for dyeing! Enjoy the holiday if you’re celebrating, and enjoy the time off if Christmas isn’t your thing!
Stars and Stripes were both tabbies so they have the same name (Jingle Mistletoe). I guess Pablo would be Rudy Rosy Cheeks (don’t know when he was originally adopted (actually purchased, but that’s on my ex), but my parents took him “for two weeks” in July 2008 and he was with them for the rest of his time).
Speaking of p0rn names…mine would be Holly Glitter Balls. 😶
A bong stealing cat? Sure, why not.
Doggy with the holiday headwear is so cute. You could make pillows with all of that shedded fur.
Merry Christmas Eve!
Duckie is extremely offended by the fact that her holiday name would be Minty Furosty (the Snowman).
And I would be Minty Frostypaws, which pretty much accurately describes my feet right now.
Well, she should be! She doesn’t even have fur!
My two would be Jingle Jolly Ribbons and Vixen McHairball and those names fit them very well indeed because the first one is very vocal and the other one is prone to leaving “gifts” on my bed. Merry Christmas everyone!
Bibi’s elf name is Merry Jingle Bells, and mine is Evergreen Starry Night. Ricky would have been Angel St. Lick which is … odd.
Just got home from seeing COMPANY on Broadway. Patti LuPone alone is worth the price of admission, and Matt Doyle as Jamie is extraordinary. I have mixed feelings about rather a lot of the rest of the production, but you can’t beat that score with a stick. If I come down with Covid, I’ll be very sorry I risked the subway in both directions, but I can’t imagine regretting seeing and hearing Ms LuPone and Mr Doyle.
Merry Christmas to those who celebrate it, and Happy December 25 to all! And no, spiked eggnog does *not* have religious connotations—why do you ask?
How about a chocolate milk shake with a shot of vodka..?
(Milk shake made with Haagen-Dazs Double Belgian Chocolate Chip, plus a scoop of vanilla because I didn’t have enough of the chocolate chip; the “chips” are more like grated chocolate mixed into the ice cream so it works well in a milkshake.)
You do your thing, I’ll do mine! And a good time will be had by all … and to all a good night!
Baileys would have been better but the only thing I had was rum or vodka.
I read you loud and clear. Vodka and I don’t happen to agree with each other, so I would have chosen rum. But, you know, whatever gets you through Christmas Eve!
I wasn’t sure how rum and chocolate ice cream would be…
