A little late in the season for an x-mas pic, but I’ve really been lovin’ on Kaylee lately. We’re finally at that point with the two newest canines where they still feel a little “new” but, at the same time, are starting to fit in with the rest of the family. We’re slowly picking up on their individual quirks and eccentricities: Kaylee, once she’s plopped down on the bed for the night, will not budge an inch until morning; Jayne loves frozen poo and is driven to fits an anxiety by closed doors, which she always seems to find herself on the wrong side of. Such sweet dogs - it’s hard to believe that, during their six-month stay at Friends of the Friendless, no one wanted them. Six friggin’ months.

Just look at how adorable that belly is!

Kaylee says, "I’ll show you my presents if you show me yours!"

I haven’t had a chance to take any (decent) pics of the furballs lately, so we have a guest dog this week: “Pugsly Napoleon Cutie-Pants Pazu, Ph. D., M.D., D.V.M, J.D., C.P.A., D.D.S., Order of the British Empire, winner of the Pulitzer and Nobel Prizes.”

You can see more of Pugsly over at his father Dunechaser’s photostream.

Now on to the carnivals:

Seeing as I can’t lay down for more than five minutes without feeling like I’m drowning in my own snot, and slaveboy isn’t here to pamper me*, I’m not really in the mood for cuteness today.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Yeah, that’s about right.

Now for them carnivals:

Kermie!

Busted!

For protesting Ford’s anti-enviro policies at the North American Auto Show!

Let’s hope they allow him the courtesy of conjugal visits with Miss Piggy in the slammer…even though I don’t think the two are technically married. I’m pretty sure that Rick Santorum would have objected to hawt frog-on-pig action.

Luckily, I have plenty of reading material for our green friend:

* Carnival of the Green 59

* Carnival of Hurricane Relief 70

As a bonus this week, reader Jeff forwarded me a video of the No Kill Advocacy Center’s Nathan Winograd appearance on Rescue Roundtable:

Just click on the video and you’ll be redirected to You Tube.

And vote Nathan Reader’s Digest Hero of the Year!

Well, I hoped to have some x-mas pics for y’all by now, but alas! - the dogs were being naughty-naughty on New Year’s (which is actually when the husband and I celebrated Festivus this year; long story), so they never did open their presents. Maybe this weekend.

‘Till then, Ralphie in a camo hiking hat:

And two (!) weeks of carnivals to catch up on:

* Carnival of Hurricane Relief 69

* Carnival of Hurricane Relief 68

(FYI: The Carnival of the Green was on vaca.)

Last week I shared some individual pics of Santa’s Little Monsters. This week, the “group” shots we managed to coax out of them the next day. I say “group” because we actually had to separate them into two groups; 3 and 2 dogs was workable, whereas 5 clearly was not. Maybe next year.

Here’s Rennie, Ralphie & Peedee:

And Kaylee & Jayne:

Now for those carnivals:

Last weekend, Shane and I lined up the dogs and tried to snap a halfway decent picture for this year’s X-Mas card. We only managed to get three gawd-awful shots before the monsters revolted:

Rather than push the issue, we decided to take some individual photos instead. Needless to say, we had much better luck the second time around (excepting Jayne, who refused to play along).

After the jump: the best of the bunch. You can view the entire photoset here.

Now for them carnivals:

* Carnival of Empty Cages 5 (Yay! It’s like an early X-Mas present!)

* Carnival of the Green 56

* Carnival of Hurricane Relief 65

And the cuteness:

(more…)

Gah! I was so busy with Festivus decorations last week, I totally forgot to do the whole Friday Random Cuteness thing. Sorry ’bout that.

Speaking of which, here’s a shot of Ralphie being totally lazy while mommy fussed over the tree:

And, of course, two weeks of carnivals to keep y’all busy over the weekend:

* Carnival of the Green 55

* Carnival of the Green 54

* Carnival of Hurricane Relief 64
