While he's eating the apple, they stand on either side of the outstretched leg-rest of his recliner and
drip drool on the floor!
As if having hair everywhere isn't enough!

As if shedding isn't bad enough
Most evenings, Glenn eats an apple after dinner and he shares the core with the girls when he is done.
While he's eating the apple, they stand on either side of the outstretched leg-rest of his recliner and
drip drool on the floor!
As if having hair everywhere isn't enough!

Christmas Red
 |
| For some reason I think of Darby as not being as nimble as Pumpkin, but I think the opposite is actually true. I've never seen Pumpkin jump up on this bench, and while Darby doesn't do it often, when she does it, she does it easily and gracefully. |

| Posing -- reluctantly -- with Santa. |

| Pine cone from our local mountains and dried pomegranate from my backyard. |

| Polish pottery and a mini-pomegranate swag. |
 |
| Red collar and red tongue. |
 |
| One of my favorite Santas. |

{this moment}
{this moment}
A Friday ritual.
Words - no photos - capturing a moment from the week.*
A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. *Inspired by Soulemama but with my own twist today
My daughter guest blogging on Darby's and Pumpkin's Daily

Bonnie says... "Hurry up and get here Bailey!" (GUEST POST)
Bonnie says... "Hurry up and get here Bailey... that way my mom can stop embarassing JUST me in these videos and include you too!"
My mom has apparently "run out" of "interesting" blog fodder for today (and after her recent 1004 posts, who could blame her)... so, I have graciously offered to step in. I suppose I need the practice as Bonnie and Bailey will soon be joining the bi-coastal ranks of Darby's Daily! And like the many otherannoying bizzare creepy fantasitc similarities I am seeing between myself and my mother as I get older, I suppose I can now add blogging to the list. :)
I am not sure if Bonnie actually is excited about the arrival of Bailey. I ask her every night if she is excited, but all I get are blank stares and the occasional yawn. Sometimes I say things like "ARE YOU SOOOO EXCITED ABOUT THE BAILEY-BUTT COMING TO LIVE WITH US?" in a cute squeeky kind of voice... but then she just runs and grabs the de-stuffed opossum toy and stands looking at me with it hanging out of her mouth.
Two days ago I bought Bailey a big wire crate where he will sleep in our bedroom. It has a nice fluffy AKC dark blue crate matt inside. When I opened the door to adjust the matt Bonnie shoved her way past me and laid down in the crate. She has not slept in a crate for almost six years. I guess in typical dog fashion things aren't very interesting until they belong to someone else.
Bonnie is very interested in the arrival of the Milk Bones. Treats aren't a common occurance for the Bonster. She gets food in her orange treat ball... but that's about it. Bailey, I'm told, gets a Milk Bone before bed. I want him to feel quite at home so I will continue the tradition until we make some of our own.
The only creature I am really concerned about is Rocco the Ferret. He already gets quite a bit of "love" from Bonnie. I don't know if he could take much more from Bailey.
See you all soon! And please pray for a safe flight on Wednesday for the Bailey Butt!

Simply Ten Good Things -- again
1. It feels like Christmas time here in very southern, Southern California.
2. We made it through the Fall fire season without a fire.
3. Christmas decorations.
4. We're not getting a Christmas tree this year and I am OK with that. Years ago, I couldn't have imagined such a thing!
5. The son of a dear friend of mine has started his own organic vegetable farm. Check it out here. Tonight, I had a salad of red leaf, green leaf and butter lettuce fresh from the farm. YUM! And, no pesticides!
6. Last January, I started a "what we had for dinner" diary of sorts, taking off on an idea I saw on a blog somewhere. I've kept it up faithfully and plan to do so again next year. I'm hoping the little box of cards will help me meal plan better next year.
7. My Christmas Cactus is blooming.
8. More Christmas decorations.
9. The Bailey-Butt will be going to live with Erika!
10. My dog girls.
I love my dog girls.
