Hello All!! I had a very merry christmas this year. It was really nice to go to SJ and see the family. I received alot of really nice gifts this year, thanks alot! :) Gizmo is in Freddy with me right now. She was itching alot so mom and I took her to the vet yesterday. Turns out we were bathing her to much. The baths stripped her skin of all the protective oils that a dog needs. We got her some pills and new shampoo. Luckily, we had a free visit, so we didn't have to pay to see the vet. I bought some new belts today when I went to Zellers. The one I bought at the leather shop in the Fredericton mall busted up, then the owner gave me a new (better) one to replace it. That one tore in half while I was home! So I went and looked at Zellers and found a black and brown one that fit nicely and will probably last longer. I used a gift certificate that Sam had given me for Suzy Sheir and bought a black suit on Boxing day. Gizmo and Snowball are getting along nicely. Gizmo seems to be tired or something, maybe it's from the meds she is taking. She would hardly walk over to Zellers with me. She has been snoozing all afternoon and evening too. Hmm.... We arrived in SJ on Friday and went to our parents homes. Mom and Richard got some lobster on Saturday, mmm....lobster....it was awesome! Sam and I went over to his parents house for Christmas eve. They had a big family get together. Barb had made a whole wack of trays of food and sweets. She gave Sam and I a whole tray of sweets to bring to my parents house with us, we ate the whole thing that night! We were at my parents house for Christmas day. We opened our presents when we got up and Sue, Darren and Cole came over alittle later to open their gifts. Cole just ripped through his! Mom made an awesome Turkey dinner on Christmas day. It was really nice, the whole family was there. Boxing day, mom, Sue, Cole and I went over to Nanny Lawrences house in the afternoon to see her and grampy and to drop off presents. Nanny bought Sam and I some nice things. She gave us some storage containers, a silver clock, and some cute tea pot shaped ornaments. Anyway I gotta do some dishes up...write later...:)
