De-Xmas

Today I have been "de-christmasing" the house. Snoopy, my youngest at just one and a half, has been doing this for weeks! Since putting up the tree, bauble by bauble has been removed, played with and discarded looking like mashed up plastic strewn with sparkly bits! Well she is the baby of the pack and self appointed pack thief! In her world there is nothing better than stealing something of mine, tv remotes and glasses watch out! I claim these things back but not always in the same condition, a sneaky thief she only does it when my back is turned! We know it is her with the Xmas tree decorations, as the pine needles covering her fur are a giveaway, don't need Poirot for this one!!
Thankfully the Christmas tree had a strong pine fragrance - Yep you guessed it the male dogs can not understand why I bring the outdoors inside and I suspect have had some ideas of their own as to the purpose of the tree!! So it's now outside, as it should be say the pack!

Chenille fluffy throws and dog duvets have been the theme this Christmas. They love them, they snuggle on them and best of all I get to reclaim my sofa dog hair free!!

So on with my freshening up of the house - "hear that dogs - that'll be fresh not doggie"!! We live at the beach on the east coast so fresh today is an understatement! With the sea right behind us and a forecast of snow, the wood burner is working overtime to keep us warm! Useful having all these dogs they sit with me, on me and by me, I mean literally: the smallest a Chihuahua on my shoulder and the largest, the Great Dane on my feet(thankfully(, with half a dozen Jack Russells scattered over the rest of me! Thinking on forget the sofa who cares about dog hair I'm warm!

More soon from the "Eastcoasters"!
And more thoughts and tips from me the Pack Leader!
