Christmas With Ralphie

We had a wonderful Christmas holiday!  Yes, yes Santa spoiled Ralphie even though he was quite naughty this past month with the Christmas tree.   What is it that dogs love Christmas ornaments?

Returning home from work one day Ralphie destroyed about 8 ornaments which included a couple treasured ones...my son's ornament he made as a child in 1986 and an antique ornament from my childhood days.  So the next day I blocked the tree with my coffee table and two chairs.  I come home from work...another 6 ornaments smashed!  He must of jumped on the table to reach the higher ornaments. Overall Ralphie attacked and destroyed about 20-25 ornaments!

I'll have to come up with an idea for next year to keep him away from the tree...maybe a giant baby gate to wrap around the tree.

My little "Christmas Tree"

Handsome boy.

So excited!

"What's this...more gifts for ME?!"

"Yay, another ball but this time with treats in it!"

Loves that ball! The elf no longer has a head and one arm is missing. :(

Helping my little old Ollie unwrap his gift.

All tuckered out...the end of our Christmas celebration.

Doggie Hall of Shame

I'm beginning to see why Ralphie is 5 pounds overweight!!  I now have my eye on him during meal times.  

Ollie knows when to stop eating and will walk away from his food when he's full.  After Ralphie is done devouring his own food, sneakingly Ralphie strolls over to Ollie's bowl of leftovers and eats his food!  Oh yeah, Ralphie is very sneaky!  Ralphie doesn't care if he's stealing from his old, blind, deaf brother!  It's all about his tum-tum!  LOL

With this naughty behavior I think Ralphie needs to be entered in the Doggie Hall of Shame...LOL

Here's my boy.....

Look at that guilty mug shot!

Ralphie Visits Santa Claus

"*Smooch* Yes, I was a good boy this year...but we won't talk about the ornaments I ate!"

"Santa Claus is my best friend...okay, how many toys and treats am I going to get?"
