Happy holidays to all. Some have told me that they have not
been receiving this blog upon publishing. I think that the new system asked
recipients to confirm that they want to get the postings within five days. I am
guessing that not everyone realized that they had to respond, so their email
addresses were deleted from the list.

I discovered a video taken by my dad of Olive and I playing “saucer”
with the foam rubber Frisbee. I had to cut the length a bit before I could post
it on this blog. Anyway, she is a natural at catching Frisbees or Frisbee like
objects.

This year Olive seems to have done better in presents than I
did. In fact, as I took a break from writing this installment to walk Olive, a
car came by, honked its horn, and out came one of my neighbors with a wrapped
present for Olive! Nothing for me, of course. When we arrived home, I unwrapped
it for Olive and we found a pink monkey plush toy. This one seems to be meant
for human children rather than dogs, so I will keep it aside for when I can
watch her play with it. She got a number of other squeaky toys from other
friends and neighbors, so I don’t think she will feel deprived.

This year I put up the tree in the living room in front of a
large window in the back of my house. I think it is visible to the cars on the
Route 2 expressway at the edge of the property. In the front of the house is a
smaller tree in my dining room window. Both trees are lit with white LEDs. My
other front windows have LED candles, and of course there is a wreath on my
front door.

For this year’s holiday gift to this blog’s readers, I
discovered a holiday video cartoon starring the newspaper comic character
Ziggy. The cartoon is a bit sad and somewhat bizarre, but I liked it. With
that, Olive and I wish all a happy new year.
