Anyone taking bets on how long it will take Doug to fix the lights on the tree should read the archives from last Christmas.

Evan is sick and Molly is hurt. Doug is at the vet with Molly now.
Update - Molly has ununited anconeal process and we are treating her with glucosamine while we wait for the orthopedic consult.

The Christmas stockings are finished! 
Holiday light hints -
Tommy’s daily job is to empty the dishwasher. Since the children take turns loading the dishwasher and rinsing abilities vary greatly, we frequently have dishes that aren’t clean after they have gone through the dishwasher. To reduce dirty dishes mixed in with the clean (it ALWAYS happens when we have visitors), I asked Tommy to put anything not clean back in the sink. I know you are already there, but I’m slow and I just realized that the amount of dishes being put back in the sink is growing too rapidly and anything that is difficult to put away is never making it to its’ storage spot. Sooooo, how do I solve this problem? If I tell him he must rinse instead of tossing them in the sink, we’ll have dirty dishes being put away again.
You know it's gonna be a Monday when . . .
You start the day by picking boogies off your nipples.
There is a cute new shop on Northshore for pampered pets called “River Dog Bakery”. Take your dog there and let her pick out her own snack. Be sure to pet the shop’s official taster, a fuzzy young Golden Retriever.
We didn’t participate in Black Friday but we did start putting up Christmas decorations.
