getting ready for christmas!

Well, it's December, which means it's time to start thinking about the holidays and all the things that go along with it. The lights are up and most of the shopping is done and wrapped, but I've run into the interesting predicament of having nowhere to put the tree, due to the furniture being too heavy for me to move on my own and Bailey being a curious little beagle. I don't want to risk her getting into something she shouldn't and getting really sick, so I may just skip the tree at the apartment this year.

Anyway, Bailey is doing really well! Last night she spent the night with my parents, her first night away from me since we got her. She crawled under the blankets and curled up on my mom's feet and stayed in bed until after 9am. She's been trying to get in to sleep in their bed every night for the past couple of months, but she just goes in and jumps on my dad and licks his face while he is sleeping, or wakes mom up. But she was good last night apparently! :)

Bailey has a new favorite toy! When I was out shopping today they had dog toys of characters from the old-school Rudolph special with the Christmas stuff, so I picked one out for her - the Abominable Snow Monster, of course! Well, let's just say that THAT 'Bumble didn't stand a chance!







They eventually declared a truce and decided to curl up instead!



(And no, she hasn't managed to destroy it yet, it's a pretty sturdy one, actually!)
