This is the second Christmas with our wonderful rescue Kai. She did not try to eat the lights this year or the ornaments, though she did nose a few. She also liked to sleep under the tree. Her first present this year came from the dog up the street. Lexi is part beagle and I am not sure what else, but she is a puppy. She passes the gate all the time and wants to play with Kai, but the owners are nervous because Kai growls when Lexi jumps on her face. Anyway, she gave Kai some treats and a picture of herself. Kai wrote a thank you and gave Lexi some treats as well. I thought it was a cute idea.
Before Christmas day we were visited by relatives who came with two children that loved on Kai. By the time they left Miss Kai was exhausted and laid about the house all Christmas Eve, not even bugging us when we ate dinner. A very tired girl from playing with kids for two days. I am not sure but I think she was worried about all the activity around the house, she likes her down time.
Christmas morning brought presents once again for Kai, some chewies and a stuffed gingerbread toy, which she laid with on the chair. Once again she was excited about the days events, helping us open presents, chewing up her sticks and running around the back yard. Her stuffed gingerbread man lasted until today without her pulling out the squeaky part of the toy. Now the stuffing is sticking out of the belly and I am sure by the end of the week it will look like it has snowed fluff all over the house. It has been a very Merry Christmas indeed.
