Winter Dreams

I wished for a high-def flatscreen with satellite and 264 animal channels.




I wished for yoga lessons, a mink blanket, and a course in anger management.



I wished for a new tennis ball.



What did we get? Vitamins. Merry, Happy Christmas everyone. Hope the holiday is sweet, and may all your pills be wrapped in honey. p>

Shell Sherree said...

Awwwwwww!!! A tough choice, but a good one. Wishing you and your loved ones {and the two-legged variety as well} a gorgeous and blessed Christmas, Hiker. I hope Santa takes it easy on your roof.

Mister Earl said...

Happy Christmas to you and your wonderful animal friends!

WV: caltiene, which I think is a vitamin.

Poor Albert. He seems to suffer from low expectations.

Happy Holiday to the rat pack

wv: shon (isn't that German?)

Pierre said...

Happy Christmas and Mery New Year.

Eat many cookies!

Brenda's Arizona said...

Do you guys all share your vitamins? My cousin used to lick the sweet coating off of ours, leaving the 'pill' part for us older kids. Somehow I can imagine that in your household...
Merry Christmas to you all. We have a plethora of tennis balls. Wonder if I can throw one as far as Altadena.

Hugs all around.

Keith said...

How could Santa resist those puppy dog eyes, even from a horse. Merry Christmas to you and the whole gang!

Vanda said...

Are they chewable?

Happy Holidays!

Wayne said...

Virginia said...

Julie said...

AmyR said...

Well, there's always next year! Have a lovely holiday Karin.

Paula said...

Merry Christmas to you and your brood, Karin (I guess my buddy was too busy disapproving for the group photo - I understand.).
You're an amazing, amazing wordsmith and I feel lucky to have you for a friend. I hope Santa was very, very good to you.

Carolynn said...

What's up with that?!? Next time they'd better stay up and corner the fat guy in the red suit on Christmas Eve.

I'll be enjoying a quiet evening snuggled up with my furbabies, enjoying a cold beverage and a chick-flick tonite.

Merry Christmas!

bandit said...

oh, Albert..

Virginia said...

Balls in the mail? Who knew!

altadenahiker said...

Well, Christmas Day, there it is and there it was.

Now it's time for hot toddies all around.

(Virg, you know how stuff gets lost in the mail.)

Laurie said...

AM I too late for the toddies?

Merry Christmas to you, my beautiful friend.

Virginia said...

All the good stuff gets lost in the mail, damn....the story of my life.

My wv: rebag
Well I did that this Christmas. Even gave my girls gifts in reusable shopping bags! WHOO HOOO I"M FEELING ALL GREEN.

Petrea said...

Boz has a present for Phoebe which I keep forgetting to give her (regifting). He got a pork chop bone for Christmas. He's now passed out at my feet. We're one happy family.

Who needs TV when you have a dog?

Enjoy your toddies, they are to you well-(de)served!

TheChieftess said...

My Daisy's a happy girl...she had 3 doggie visitors today, and her Greenie...she's been passed out since about 3 this afternoon!!! Maybe she could use some of those vitaminimins!!! (check out post your dog and cat blog to see my beautiful old girl!!!)

Merry Christmas and a happy weekend after!!!

Mister Earl said...

If your balls got lost in the mail, maybe you can order them from Pete Schwedy's Season's Eatings. He was on TV again last night promoting his balls.

WV: unisit - I think this means that all your balls hit the chair at the same time.

Virginia said...

I'm pretty sure Mr. E has been way into the Christmas cheer! I"m LOL!

BANJO52 said...

A day late, but Merry Christmas, AH. Lovable lookin' animals you've got there, vitamins or not.

wv: tiests

related to all the TENNIS ball jokes?

Quid said...

Merry Christmas!

Virginia said...

Mr. E,
Just watched Pete on Youtube. I"d forgotten how funny that was. Baldwin is a better actor than I thought. Never cracked a smile. Moi? I"ve laughed till I cried. Thanks!
V

PS My WV is CUSSEAT

CB3Dot said...

Winston and Ulura sent greeting to Big Al and Phoebers

BANJO52 said...

Hey, it just occurred to me, what's a typical hike for you--in minutes or miles? Don't worry, I won't be keeping up. Just curious.

And you imply that Vandy has some attitude. True? Named after Vanderbilt Univ.?

I confess I'm (again) glad Christmas is over. Anyone else?

bandit said...

Vandy appears to have an intelligent and spirited eye. Kisses for her, too.

Everyday is Christmas in Minnesota...

Ken Mac said...

happy new year to Karin and all her critters!!

Paula said...

Mr E, I love me some Schwedy Balls. They're a good thing.

Tash said...

I came & went on THE DAY and didn't leave my mark! Darn WV...

I still have this image of your equine pet in a downward facing dog position... can't shake that one.

Hope your Christmas was merry & bright.
