My grandkid is a real dog...

sounds pretty pathetic, huh?
But hey, it's the truth...




You met Vinnie last Christmas, and this little man can steal your heart.


He's a riot, and a little better behaved than last Christmas.

He's in his buffalo check rain gear, but hates it.
He can hardly move, he thinks he's in a straight jacket!

(sorry the photos are fuzzy, this was before I realized
my new lens was set on auto while my camera was on manual)

Last Christmas my shin and his head had a little encounter, 
and my shin came out the loser.
He has a hard head and in one of his chasing games he plowed into me.
I won't go into details but I'm really glad his obedience school was a success.

This is Vinnie's mom and dad.
Our daughter Erin and her husband. 


and just so you'll be sure and know that the Living Room
actually does get lived in, these are a couple of photos
 of the kids unwrapping presents.

This is our younger daughter, Alyson and her husband.


do you feel sorry for me?

My grandkids are dogs and cats. 

(sorry no photos of the old ornery black cat
 that will slap the stuff out of you as you walk by
and the rotten, but oh so cute Himalayan )

OK, just wanted to share some real life with you.

Hope you all are having a great weekend. 
I had to do a booth check and supply at Relics today,
and put away some of the outdoor Christmas decor
Yikes, I still have Christmas stuff to box and put away.
someone, please tell me that you still have putz houses out!!

xoxo,

  2. Your grand dog is cute in his jacket. Bailey can't stand her jacket either. You have a beautiful family. Maybe some grand kids soon.

  8. Your granddog is very cute in his buffalo check rain gear. My Chihuahua Zoey is the same way when we put a coat on her. She becomes still all over and refused to move. Go figure. But the upside of having a grandog is that you will never have to take him to Chuckie Cheese.
    Happy New Year,

  10. Vinnie, I feel the same way about shoes that you do your jacket. I bet Grandmama picked it out seeing as how it's plaid!
    Don't feel like the Lone Stranger girl...I'm babysitting Jenn's little man in a fur coat while they celebrate the new year at the coast. Parker is sweet, but the consensus is he's not exactly the smartest one on the bus..if you get my drift!

  21. Debra,
    Your "granddog" looks adorable in his buffalo check raingear! We, too, have a "granddog". Ours is a boxer mix named "Rosco". (Dukes of Hazzard Era! Ha!)Your daughters and son~in~laws make a beautiful family. Okay, "real life" time. The decorations are down, literally, but the lower level living area looks like a bomb exploded down there!!! I'm taking this week to re~organize the decoraions, re~label and card catalog what I have. Working part~time doesn't allow for hours of searching for specific items when putting a vigette together. Wish me luck!
    Fondly,
    Pat

  24. I can relate! I too am grandma to a French Bulldog, Milo. He is 2 yrs. old now, somewhat calmed down from last Christmas.He is a bully to put it mildly and has our 100lb Boxer boy, completly buffaloed. My boxer spends the Christmas holdiday sitting on a chair, because if he gets down Milo will bite his feet, legs, jowls, etc. What a fun week for the fur children.
