Christmas Eve 2018 Nativity, Puppy and Christingles

This year Pup Frankie took the eyes off Joseph so the second shepherd was promoted to the Joseph role. It was when she was found running around with baby Jesus in her mouth that the nativity was taken down and stored for next year!

This was our 20th Christingles at St Mary's , first one was when Isabella was a 10 month old baby and now she's 20 and Annie 18 and both are at Universities in capital cities.

Christmas Day 2018 Happy dogs.

Mum you're blinding me with that flash!

MERRRRRY CHRRRRISTMAS!!!! WOOF WOOF, barking, blaffen.

I'm feeling silly....

Ok can I try the elf hat now then?

Hello I am an elf...

And I Frankie at 3 months old am up to climbing, exploring mischief...

Where did the nativity go? I haven;t tasted all the wise men or the second shepherd yet?

That newspaper is out of date.

Can I eat these tangerines?

Cute little play by Frankie

Sweet little Frankie at 10 weeks playing in a basket.

 And a lovely explore in the garden this morning but came back inside to do her wees and # 2's...

Had fun though! Tried to eat all plants, moss especially !

 What does this taste like? My hand spent a lot of time in and out among her little sharp teeth.

Was ''rewarded'' by a good long sleep though I didn't know how long it would last, ha ha ha.

More of Frankie's first week...

Then a few days later they did curl up together and had a little doze. Lucy went into the playpen and curled up in Frankie's basket and then F joined her.

It lasted all of 10 minutes... Lucy stayed and Frankie hopped out of the playpen and chose Lucy's new plush teal green bed!

So her's Lucy who stayed...

And here's Frankie who settled in Lucy's new bed...

Aaaaah a bit of peace and quiet at last.

Earlier today we 've been busily socialising whilst being carried about as F has notnyet had her 2nd vacc,

We've been to the garage, the pet shop ( nice new lead!) ,the Coop ( just to say hi to Tracey), the gallery ( but it was closed) and walked up and down a very busy Thame high street.

She heard a landrover back-fire which she did not like and watched fish and birds in the pet shop as well as cuddles with pet shop staff.

Then after lunch we had a short walk ( on that new lead with the lovely pink harness) in the garden!

So a very busy morning resulted in a lovely long nap after lunch.
