I tried to photoshop out Oreo's idiopathic corneal edema, but ended up leaving her in all her natural beauty. I could not fix it, but it does not hurt.

This is my favorite Christmas Eve picture! Aunt Kristi took it of Madi opening her gift from Kristi - a pillow with pictures of Madi and her horse on it :) I think Madi loves her pillow as much as I love this picture, maybe more.

When you are a big kid, gloves are a cool gift.

MERRY PURPLE CHRISTMAS TREE 2016

MERRY PURPLE CHRISTMAS TREE 2016

For the past several years, we have gotten our Christmas tree from Cirian's Farmers Market in Midtown Omaha. 

It does not show in dog and cat vision, but the tree Abby was looking at was flocked a beautiful bright green.

"Why do you flock trees green?" I asked the person helping with our tree.

"Because we can. Why do they dye their hair purple?" he replied.

:)

Abby noticed a tree was flocked black with sparkles. So this year for the first time, our tree is not only flocked purple, it also has sparkles. What's the downside?

The tree is BEAUTIFUL! So is our floor. In EVERY room. And both dogs. Again, no downside!

Russ and Joy prepare to decorate.

My favorite picture - Amanda lifting Abby up to put Grandma Amanda's angel on the top of the tree!

This tree skirt is missing hand prints from the years we have had pets who would have peed on it. We are missing quite a few years. Still cute though. And pee-free!

Olivia visited Santa.

The picture of Olivia visiting Santa totally made my day!

I hope it makes your day too.

Olivia, were you a good turtle this year? What did you ask for from Santa?

NEIGHBORHOOD CHRISTMAS PARTY 2016

Our neighborhood Christmas party was this past week. As always, we had a very nice time. We have the best neighbors!

Russ was compared to a young Moses, which is, of course, a compliment!

JOJO'S STORY

JOJO'S STORY

Jojo the Chihuahua mix came to us as a newly adopted dog. We all fell in love with him.

Jojo came back two months later with an accidentally broken leg. We treated and bandaged and planned. We set him up for surgery with Dr. Thoesen. His family would not take him back.

Thank you Dr. Thoesen and Rachel and the rest of your team.

Those guys have a crazy busy schedule and set aside time on more than one day trying to get Jojo fixed. Either they are awesome or you can fall in love with Jojo just hearing about him. I suspect both.

The Nebraska Humane Society, also an awesome group, took Jojo back and got him the surgery he needed, and got him healed and will find him a new family in plenty of time for the holidays. Thank you so much guys.

We love you Jojo. We are so glad you are well! We hope to see you soon in this next happy chapter.

MERRY CHRISTMAS CABINET!

MERRY CHRISTMAS CABINET!

For a few years, I worked mainly at the 89th and Grant location. My second favorite part of that was this cabinet.

Every season, we would decorate it, and Christmas was my favorite season to decorate the cabinet.

Oh! My first favorite thing about the location was the people there of course! *is* :)

I loved having all these patient and personal pet pictures too!

I imagined coworkers looking for something and opening this cabinet and being totally surprised :) This probably never happened because everyone helped me with it and I showed everyone who visited!
