Christmas Eve 2023

The year went by quickly and I don't feel ready for Christmas. I haven’t taken good seasonal photos yet so I'll start with a computer-generated image.


Marie arrived last night. Today she wanted to buy Charlie a new harness so we went to Petco. A young woman helped us find one that fits him. It has metal buckles so maybe it will last longer. He like to break plastic buckles by crunching them with his teeth! 


Here’s Charlie wearing the new harness. We went to the dog park in Strasburg. It’s next to a tennis court. We had a tennis ball too but Charlie got tired of chasing it because no other dogs were there to compete with him.


May your Christmas Day be bright!

  5. I bet Charlie was happy to get this new harness. Our Dakota does not like competing with others for his ball either. She is more of a one-on-one dog. Merry Christmas!

  6. I am sure I should know, but why does Charlie have to wear a harness?

    1. Two reasons. Supposedly it is easier to get a dog to walk without pulling when they wear a harness. More important to me is that a harness is safer for tethering a dog in a car. If you fasten a doggy seatbelt to his collar and there’s an accident, his neck could be severely injured.
