Erin got a new dog recently its name is Sophi! It is so weird and playful.

Dottie warmed up to the puppy quickly. They chased each other around the house and played. When it came time for Erin and Sophi to go home, Dottie cried, and cried, for the rest of the night.
We also have been getting the house ready for Christmas. I could not get a good picture of the lights outside but here is the inside.

We do not have a fireplace so I made one out of Construction paper and it works great. Not much for heat but looks good. Dottie the Dog and Xerxes the cat got in to the fun as well!

I will leave you with a picture that epitomizes the Christmas spirit! Love can be found in the strangest places!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
