In a couple more weeks it’s going to be Christmas break. I’m looking forward to Christmas break because I get to sleep in and not have to wake up for school. I enjoy seeing the decorations outside of people's houses and their Christmas trees lit up in the windows. I love to spend the break time away from school with my family and friends. We tend to watch lots of Christmas movies while munching on snacks. This year however, I’m going to be a bit lonely without my dog Cyrus. We usually get him a toy, treats, and a tennis ball for Christmas. This year though we won’t be purchasing any of those items. Cyrus was always so excited and sniffed the treats we got for him right out. I’m really going to miss not having him around with his tail wagging
and ears perked up. It has only been a month and it feels as if it has been years without my golden. It’s going to be an awful break this year because his birthday is the 20th, he would have been twelve. He brought the entire family together and was there for each one of us all of the time. He was always right there around my feet and always in the way and now it all feels so empty. I would always take him to the park to go swimming and for a walk, now I have nobody to take with me. I miss all of the time we use to spend together, he was my best friend and no puppy could replace him. Deep down I know it was his time and I understand that but it’s still hard without him. I deeply appreciate all of the time I got to spend with him even though it was nowhere near enough time for me or anyone in my family. I knew he was sick and I was hoping to get some senior pictures with him but sadly he was gone to quick. The hardest part though is realizing that I only have the old memories to remind me of him and that there won’t be any new memories to come. Life sucks when you lose someone important to you but I know it’s how now time to focus on the next chapter of my life, one which sadly doesn’t include him in it. I will forever be grateful to the almost twelve years he was apart of my life.
Everybody knows why the Grinch stole Christmas. The Grinch was an orphan. He came from another planet far, far away maybe there was not enough air on that little dwarf planet. Not even enough for a mouse. This is why he fell off the planet and landed on an old ladies couch. She was very nice but Santa didn’t know he existed because he landed there on Christmas Eve after Santa had already made his rounds.
I know how Esther feels about this, I know that its probably not the same but last year was really hard, I lost a lot of really important people to me, and to top it all off my sister and her husband and my niece were stationed in Pennsylvania, and it was the hardest thing to say goodbye, I can’t imagine how hard it would be for me to not to have said goodbye, considering me and my sister are very close.
This is not your typical Christmas tale. This story is about a group of friends who decide giving is better than receiving around this time of year. There are tons of children who aren’t fortunate enough to get Christmas presents, let alone plenty who don’t even have family to spend the holidays with. Three best friends ended up figuring that out and worked together to truly create a Christmas miracle.
For some, their pet is all that they have. People are never alone when at home with their pet because they are at home with family. Today, animals fill the void of loneliness that is felt by millions. When people come home after a long day, it’s their pet, or family, that brings them back. Their family will jump into their laps in excitement of seeing their loved one.
Play time is officially over. We carry each tired puppy to a big box my dad had made that is full of straw and sitting in our living room. We like to keep the puppies inside at night so they do not freeze outside when it becomes cool when the sun goes down. My dad goes to retrieve Remmy and she runs into the living room and hops in the box to be with her family. My dad always brings back a dog treat from the utility room to give to Remmy because she is such a good mother to them and she can never get enough
Routine is an important part of people’s lives. School is a place where almost everyone routinely went to, which on average, consisted of going for about nine months and a three month break. The room forms of schedules that occur in year round schools are 45-15, 60-20, and 90-30 plans. The first number is how many days the students go to school before they acquire their official break which is the second number. The reason we have our school schedules set up the way they are now is because of the agrarian times when families needed help in the spring and summer with the farming of their crops. Ever since then, America
What child wouldn't remember getting his dog as a gift on Christmas morning or his 10th birthday? But giving a dog as a gift poses certain challenges. How do you gift wrap a dog? Where do you hide him until gift-giving time? And how do you get the dog acclimated to his new home with all the holiday or birthday party excitement all around? Here is a guide to making your dog gift-giving the wonderful success you are hoping for. How to Give a Dog as a Gift: Tip #1 Holidays or birthday parties are hectic. Family and friends gather in crowded rooms. Celebrations and decorations are everywhere. Bringing a dog into the home at such a time is less than ideal. Instead, consider giving a token of your dog gift. A leash, a dog sweater, a collar with a name tag-all these can make wonderful stand-in gifts for the actual dog gift. Place them in a special box covered in dog paws, place a picture of the dog in the box, and anything else that reflects the present of a dog. Imagine the excitement that will follow. And when all the noise and celebrations are taking place, the dog will still be in a quiet place. Then, when life in the home has returned to normal, when the guests are gone and the holidays are over-it is then that you can all go together to get the dog. Either pick out a dog at a rescue shelter, or go together to bring the exact dog that you have already chosen. How to Give a Dog as a Gift: Tip #2 A perfect gift is one that gives only joy. To make sure that giving a dog as a gift will go as smoothly as possible, prepare the home for the dog in advance. Buy a doggie bed and toys, a collar and a leash with a harness to help leash-train the dog. Make sure a water bowl and a plate of food are ready. And establish ground rules and a routine that should be followed. This way, when you give a dog as a gift all the planning will have been done beforehand, and the moment for enjoying the dog will be at hand. (Read

Mother earth is unpredictable, while we have gotten better with predicting weather over the years, it is still a guessing game- it could change at any moment.

It is imperative, however, to think about this new pet in the long-term. This new furry family member will be here long after we've sung our last Jingle Bells or packed away the final ornament. How many pets have we seen be misplaced after a holiday because the excitement has faded? Many rescue shelters take in dozens of baby bunnies, ducklings and chicks after Easter's novelty has worn off. Unfortunately, the winter holidays are no different.
Frosty the Snowman waves hello alongside Santa 's reindeer that are ready to take off. Candy canes line the sidewalk and the ginger bread dolls dance in a merry circle. The trees all sparkle with thousands of red, yellow, purple, blue, and orange lights. Out back, Mary and Joseph stand over baby Jesus, Choo-Choo train’s chug in spot, stars twinkle with bright yellow bulbs, and Mr. and Mrs. Santa Clause wave in the distance. Kerkhoven, MN, the location of the happiest house on the block. Every year my breath is always taken away as my eyes struggle to soak in the utter abundance of Christmas spirit. I 'm smiling and we 're not even inside yet.
Since time is of the essence, do I have enough of it for your dog? Dogs (especially puppies) are like children, so if you want to know what it's like to have kids before you actually have kids, get a dog! Canine friends require a substantial amount of your time, patience, effort, and attention. If you find yourself working late hours regularly and/or frequently traveling really ask yourself if having a dog is the best fit for you. They deserve the love and attention that they willingly give to you!

I am sure many of you probably didn’t think a December Newsletter would be themed on lyrics from the Eagles. I am sure this time of the year is not easy for many of us. As we consider our list of to do’s before Christmas, some of us are probably feeling overwhelmed. I know as I look at my calendar of just what I still have to plan for worship services and activities just for Bethany, I am feeling the Christmas Cram, as one friend called it one year. This doesn’t include the various activities and traditions Amanda and I have (or still don’t know about yet).
When I started hanging out with Anthony I met Pancake first (her nickname is Patty or Pattycake). I was really scared of her when I first saw her because she was a big dog and all the pets we have at home are small so I wasn’t used to her size. She didn’t bark at me she just wanted to jump on me and always smell me. After awhile I would pet her more and more and then I wouldn’t mind her being all up on me. When you first look at her she looks kind of silly because her bottom teeth just stick out. I don’t know what kind of dog she is but I love the way her fur looks. Junior didn’t come along till later, Anthony’s mom bought junior from a friend and he is a smoky grey Pitbull. They got junior before they moved houses so he was still a baby. Now he is 5 months. A week ago he got out of the gate and he was lost for about two days but then we found him thankfully. Junior likes napping with Anthony’s mom, he loves eating fruit loops and he loves Pattycake. I love his fur color and how he is so tiny right now. I know he is going to get a little bigger and right now he is going through a teething stage which is cute but it has the yard tore up. Both of these dog are wonderful and I love that they are so sweet and playful. Even though they are not my dogs I still cherish
