After surgery in 2017 I never had to use the machine that prevents blood clots, but my pups gave me a good calf squeeze this morning that had me thinking back to the Hamsters that did. May you all be DVT-free and sailing through recovery in 2021.

The pups love these leather chew toys. For whatever reason, they always chew off the face before they go for the ears & tail.

We put away the Christmas decorations today. Santuck Claus was easily distracted from ornaments by a bully stick, and then slept. Grateful.

Zach to his puppies first thing this morning: Hi, Cure for Sadness!

10am sun breaking through the clouds on 12/31/20. “…but the earth abideth for ever, [and] the sun also ariseth…” (Ecclesiastes)
I love you, 2020, for the good you brought, and the time to go inward. Thank you.


No, they didn’t make it to midnight. They’re still babies.


Happy New Year, friends. Much love to all.

I *love* my elf, Snowball, and all the creativity he inspires in me and in Zach. *AND* I love when the month comes to a close.
