The Gift That Keeps on Giving

Janet broke a cardinal Christmas Rule. She purchased a cookbook for herself before Christmas.


This is the third Whitewater Cook Book. The lady that writes them is a chef at a ski resort in BC.

Thinking she was very clever, Janet gave Meg, Briana and Lori a copy for Christmas. Turns out Meg also bought Janet a copy, and lo and behold, Lori arrives on Boxing Day with the one she bought for Janet. Don and Rose also came for brunch on Boxing Day. Rose received a copy of the same book from Laura, Mikes sister. Sheesh...good thing Janet and Rose and Laura don't exchange gifts!

WORDS FROM THE GOLDEN PAWS

Hi...there are four of us! Myself, Corrigan (Rockers) and Kia (Noodles) stay with Our People, Janet and Phil in Victoria, BC. Our American correspondents, Ruby and Emma (Pashy) reside with Their People, Bronwyn and Mike in Portland, Oregon.

Noodles and I are 12 years old, Emma is six and Ruby is our most senior advisor at the ripe old age of 13!

We spend our days doing the usual doggie type of activities. I used to let Janet read her newspapers before I had her get our breakfast, but that is no longer the case. The minute she awakes and enters the kitchen, I start barking and that is her clue to get the show on the road. She likes to think she can ignore me, but I am far too persistent to let that happen!

Immediately after we eat, I start to track Phil down, room by room to let him know it's time to take us for a walk. Fortunately for Kia, I manage all these tasks on my own, so basically she is just along for the ride. What a Dumbbell..without me, she may never eat or go for a walk!

After our walk we sleep for several hours until it's time to start the process all over again, except in the afternoon the process is reversed. Every now and again, Phil will make some comment like "so, have the guys slept all day, again?". Not sure if he thinks we are supposed to be working on a thesis, or cleaning the bathroom - we are dogs!

Pretty exciting stuff!

NEW Update:

In addition to Ruby and Rockers having passed away, Noodles passed away 23 June 2016 - she was 14 years, 6 months, 10 days old, and we miss her so much. Out of the original gang - last doggie standing is Pashy (Emma) and her new sidekick in PDX, Watson! And, arriving very soon - Sherman!
