Hiking Hounds: Happy Holidays

Wishing You All a Wonderful Winter and Happy and Healthy New Year!

Zephyr, Astro, Riley, Pablo, Annie, and I are sending you and your hounds best wishes for the holidays and the new year. This year was tough with Zephyr getting encephalitis and I really appreciate all of the nice supportive messages you all sent. Thank you! Zephyr is doing great! I've continued to reduce his medicines and he's feeling even better.

We are also looking forward to Winter Solstice and the return of the sun. Zephyr's registered name is Cebar Winter Solstice Zephyrus FC. I chose that because he was born in early January, Zephyrus is the Greek god of the west wind that gently blows in spring, and he definitely makes life brighter. :-)

This is the final card that I made at Shutterfly. I'm really happy with it and wanted to send it out to everyone. The inside has a collage of pictures of the dogs and cats and the back even has a picture. I couldn't get that to show, but all of the pictures are one's that I've already posted on the blog so you can imagine, it's really cute. ;-)

Enjoy the Holidays!
