Cardi Claus: Part 2

Not only did we receive a Cardi Claus package, but we also got to send one out!

I love shopping for dog stuff... And I love crafting dog stuff... So this Cardi Claus thing is perfect for me  :)

Our package was going to Jazz & Gershwin in Arkansas (which I thought was was Arizona, until the nice lady at the mail place told me AR was not Arizona... I swear I knew that!).

I included our favorite goodies from the Bluegrass Barkery (dehydrated duck feet!) and my own home-made ornaments:

Do they look familiar?

Yes, since they were such a big hit last year, I recycled the idea  :)

But I kept thinking I was forgetting something... Actually I forgot a few things (I forgot the nose. Then I forgot the white tail tip. Then I forgot to sew the hanging ribbon on...) I fixed all those, but it still felt like something was missing.

Well, I just realized what it was when I went to find the photos of the ones I made last year for Jimmy & Wilson:

Do you see what I forgot?

Oops. The red noses don't make much sense without the antlers!

Doh!  :)

Santa Photo Time!

It's that time of the year again: Today we take the dogs to see Santa!

 

Who remembers this classic from last year?  :)



 

If you can tear your eyes away from Stout, isn't that just the best Santa ever? We love the Bluegrass Barkery!

We will also be picking up some things at the Barkery for our Cardi Claus recipients!

Thank You Cardi Claus!

It was an early christmas today for Porter & Stout - Cardi Claus came!

This is only the 2nd year we've participated, but it will become an annual tradition from now on. I just enjoy shopping for my recipient too much - and then the receiving isn't bad either  :)

This year our package came from Lyberty Cardigans down in TN. As you can see from the photo, Zero was  almost as interested as Porter & Stout!

Stout immediately ran off with the frisbee, which said "Naughty" on one side & "Nice" on the other. I think we all know which he is...

And after dinner, both boys got one of the Nylabones to for dessert.

Thank you Cardi Claus & Laura!

My Cardi Claus package was also received by Jimmy & Wilson today. I hope they like the duck feet as much Porter & Stout do  :)
