The boys: Bear and Auggie

The boys.

I am ever grateful at how well they do together.

Bear tolerates a LOT from Auggie.

I wish I could capture the moments when Auggie leaps on Bear…a kind of “tag, you’re it” thing around Bear’s neck.

And then there is the “five” or “ten” to Bear’s bottom.

Bear ignores it all.

Christmas Eve, Auggie went wild. He was from one end of the house to the other with an over Bear routine on the way.

Bear moved from his chair to the floor.

I called to Bear and he came to the bed…partly, I think because a neighbor was doing fireworks, but he came.

Auggie came on the bed also and jumped on Bear…laid on top of him and then moved to Bear’s tail. Bear looked to me, but did not do anything to Auggie.

I grabbed Auggie and spoke to him about respecting his elder brother…

All quieted.

The boys.

On Christmas Day in the morning

We did not see “three ships come sailing in”, but we could have – Christmas morning was clear. The sun rose into a blue, blue sky and although there was no fresh now, the slushy stuff from Christmas Eve Day was still there and in better condition for walking around as it got cold overnight.

The woods sparkled.

A walk and a treat…

And then all off to Beardog Point. I followed with a cup of coffee and enjoyed the glorious morning with Bear and Auggie and remembering joyful childhood Christmas mornings and mornings with all my dear pets: Jake, Zack, Gus, Karl and Bob.

We had a stellar day of outings, treats all around and a late afternoon dinner of prime rib roast which we all had a bit of and plenty left over for Christmas Week nibbling.

Thanks to all who sent emails, cards and comments and hope all who visit here had a wonderful and blessed Christmas Day!
