So what did you get for Christmas?

[Karen]

Thank you for your kind wishes!! Can't wait until he gets home. . .I miss him here where he belongs and Sonny is going crazy looking for his papa. He's even jumping on my shoulder when I walk by his cage. Sonny wants his KISSES!!

Awww, sending you kisses, Sonny!

Good for you both, taking the situation seriously and now he can have the angioplasty and hopefully has avoided a major catastrophe!

cute blanket that says BOW WOW on it.

My family:

PJs set (with pants and shorts)
calendar (my mom couldn't find an Aussie one so she got me a Border Collie one)
kitchen towels
knife set
HUGE bag of M&Ms

From Bruce:

Friends:

Cathy, that is definitely a wonderful Christmas miracle.

Cindy, Bjs is THE BEST!!!

[Taz_Zoee]

Yes, we BJs. (also because Bruce's initials are BJ )

Oh, I forgot that my mom got me the book The Art of Racing in the Rain.

And congrats to Blue on being an uncle!!

I never knew you were an aussie,? how do you like living in the good ole US of A, do you miss home?

[NicoleLJ]

We got some awsome doggy & kitty stuff from our secret santa. Plus Doug got a raise at one of his part time jobs and on Christmas day he got a job offer from a friend that could pan out to be very good for us if he gets it. So turned out great. We also had a fabulous christmas dinner thanks to a very generous friend. We are planning next year to pass on the goodness and do the same thing for a family in need.

My biggest gift was being with family and friends. The rest of the gifts were materialistic, but given from the heart so they will be treasured forever.

I think she means an Australian Shepherd dog, what we call an Aussie here. Border Collies have some similar attributes.

Oh thank you. I could not figure out who she was talking to. I guess I forget there are people from all over the world on here and that different things have different meanings.

Yes, I was referring to Australian Shepherd dog calendar. Sorry for the confusion.

[carole]

oh dear yes i got that competely wrong lol, i read in to that , that you were from australia, she could not get you an australian calendar (we call australians aussie's) and then you were waiting for a package from your sister, which i took to mean she was in OZ, lol, sorry about that, i need to read the post better next time, oh well you became an honorary Australian for all of two seconds, not such a bad thing,not quite as good as a kiwi though, lol, that one was for your WOM my friend.

I thought an honorary Kiwi was someone who really liked sheep a lot.

[Suki Wingy]
