Ready for Christmas

 We all decorated the tree this year. I really wish I got a good Christmas picture of Bear. Once decorating is done it usually feels very cozy, but with Bear gone, there is too much room, and so not all that cozy.

After Bear passed on the 11th, we were devastated, and so we immediately adopted another puppy.  We all fell in love with him the first day. As wonderful a dog as Fritz is, we decided to give him back. Puppies require a lot of attention.  I'm too stressed to to handle just about anything right now,  and Todd has been dealing with a lot. So, we had to make a difficult  choice, and we chose to give Fritz back.  But, the story ends up with a very happy ending.

We were very lucky to find out that he'd be going to an acreage to live with a family that has four young children.  Yay! And the stress levels dropped as soon as we made the decision.  

But we're  not going to forget Fritz. Ever. His short time with us made an imprint on all three of us. Tucker even sounded attached, and was sorry we had to take him back. 

And we finally got in a game of Firefly with our busy son. Between school, a ton of friends, Channel 22, maintaining Honour Roll with Distiction, and his chores, I have no idea where he finds the time to do it all.
