Welcome 2012!


 We are all happy for the new year and looking forward to lots of fun in 2012.

 I'm so happy to have celebrated the holidays watching Zephyr and Astro have a great time.

 Our few days in Phoenix over Christmas were really nice.  The weather was great.  The mornings were crisp, there's actually frost on the grass, and then the days warmed up to the 60s.

 Astro gave some love to Grandma.

 Zephyr spent quality time with Grandpa.

 PJ took out Astro.  :-)

 Zephyr and Astro love the big grassy yard and had many runs like this.  We also practiced some agility, but no video of that.  Zephyr's been doing great.

 The night after Christmas we went to Zoo Lights at The Phoenix Zoo.  I'd heard that it was really good and it didn't disappoint.

 We were almost run over by these racing deer.

 I was surprised that it was so busy after Christmas.  We had to park in the overflow lot and there was a huge line to get tickets.  Luckily we had pre-purchased ours and walked right in.

 I'd never seen a light show like this and was really impressed.

 Back at home the fashionista is still at it, and she hasn't even returned Zephyr's collar yet.

 The boys got to open some more pressies when we got home.

 Astro got a bag of chicken strips and Zephyr got a bag of duck strips.  Yum!

I hope you have a great 2012!

Love that first pic. Looks like the rabbit was caught at the last second from making a break for the door.

I love that picture of Astro next to the Christmas tree at the end! Good heaven, he's a tall fellow!

It looks like you and the boys had a fantastic Christmas! Bunny is intensely jealous of that run in the field you had.

Happy 2012!

Thanks for sharing your special memories.

Love and licks, Winnie.

Looks like you had a great time over the holidays. Super to watch the boys running and playing together. Alas my two never do anything together.
Happy 2012

Happy New Year to you too. I hope that 2012 sees a continuation of the good health of both Zephyr and Astro.

Thanks for the warning about chemo and the dip in WBC count afterwards. I'll be keeping a close eye on K during that time period.

And, thanks for your support.

Happy 2012! Looks like you guys had a wonderful time! Zephyr looks great! I love the video, great job of keeping up with their sibling rivalry! I'm glad they went easy on the little fellow too!

That, to me, looks like the ideal way to spend the holidays. I love the photos of the houndies with their grandpawrents! I didn't realize your boys were so tall! We may have to adopt boys the next time around; we love big dawgs.

Yes, Phoenix Zoo Lights is definitely worth the trip. We went one year while we were living out there. Would definitely see it again.
