Merry, Stormy, Very Merry, Very Stormy Christmas to you!

We here in Minniesnowda are having a terrible forecast for some very Bad Winter Weather.  Its supposed to start tonight after midnight and carry right on through until Saturday!  We could call it Christmas Spoiler Weather because a lot of people aren't going to be able to get to where they want to go.

But a good thing happened to me today, we walked to the library, came home and found a package with MY name on it from Happy Hearts Cookies!  My Mom says its a Christmas Present for me from Her.  Some bags of little cookies, all cheezy and good, and one big one with my name on it!

And here is me sayin' "I think I would like to have that right now, Mom." and she says you already ate some smaller ones so we will save this biggie for tomorrow night!  Its got three kinds of cheeses in it, I love cheese so much, and this is very much delicious.  Our friend Gerri at Happy Hearts does the best job of making cookies of ANYBODY!  Oh, she also said I could be a Cookie Tester (is that a great job?) and she sent me some new cookies to try called Mint/Applesauce Dog Cookies.  I tested them and say they are furry good cookies.  You should try some!

Then my Mom was reading the blog of the Portugese Water Dogs and their Mom is a terrific cross stitcher. She had put up all the beautiful Santa Clauses she had stitched and my Mom is saying, I gotta put mine up!

Mom's was made way back in 1986 by a good friend of hers and here it is, Jolly Old St. Nicholas!

Mom says she has no talent for this stitching but she loves it anyway.

So thats about it from us today.  You probably won't hear much from us for the next few days,

but we will be thinking of you and hoping for a great Christmas for all the dogs and peoples all over the world!

Hugs and Kisses,

Jo and Stella
