Lasers are cool during a snowfall.
Home is where the fire is.

Snow! Maybelline loved it. So did Eli. Moonshine always loves everything.
To warm up, we used fresh limes from California (thanks Slettens!) to make Hemmingway Daiquiris.
Boot snuck in (as is his wont).

Bad dog. Usually great dog but with a bad habit of destroying NYer magazines (too woke for her? Is she a Republican? Horrors.) and/or books from the book pile. She does it when she is mad at us for leaving her home.
While we were here…
Maybeline was doing this…
What?!

So much wrapping to be done on what was billed as a small xmas filled more with travel from far than with anything else. It was nice to all be together.
Relaxing with LOTR.
The final setup.
Something something long winter’s nap…even if you are a dog.

It all started in the morning with the birthday puppy Maybeline.
She was excited about becoming a dog. Boot did not care.
There were presents from Romey and espresso in bed.
We left maybe behind for a birthday brunch at the Green Pig Bistro in Arlington. Brunch was delicious. Presents were fantastic. But it was the company we loved the most.
Maybeline had a howl about it.
And then it was time for cake for the other birthday boy. We picked up the cake while in civilization (ordered ahead from the Bakeshop).
The cake is so good. Nobody ever believes us when we tell them.
We were gathered around the bar for Seelbachs and cake.
Moonie wanted to be part of the scene.
But when offered the chance, he demurred.
A Clean Moonshine?

Say it ain’t so. The farm dog gets groomed. And then is rewarded with a visit to the salon.
Meanwhile at the farm, the salon dog goes wild…

The Stick with two dogs! Including the new puppy Maybeline and Moonshine (who has already been to the beach this year).
Digging in the morning!
The sand and the ocean sans leash.
