Merry Christmas everyone from Trog's Dogs!

Here are the girls posing in front of a beautiful outcrop of daisies, and they're quite happy as you can see. Here's the backstory: Our precious Daisy (our second golden) was the matriarch of the pack, and she received her angel wings over 3 years ago, toward the end of May . . .

Look who turns double digits today, the one and only Paczki! What a joy you are to have in our lives Punch, and we cherish every day we get to see your smiles and hear your tail thumps . . .

Happy 8th Birthday ZuZu! What a joy you are to have in our lives, and Daddy is very happy to be your very best friend, except when you are Mommy's very best friend, and so it goes. Here's to many more ZuZu!

Ginger celebrated her 6th trip around the sun last week. Okay, Ginger celebrates pretty much every day, so it wasn't all that different than other days. We love you to pieces Ginger, don't ever change and happy birthday!

Happy 9th Birthday to our precious Paczki! Even though you haven't been able to continue your therapy work because of the virus, you still find a way to bring smiles to many people. We love you so much Paczki, and here's to many more trips around the sun!

Happy 7th Birthday to our sweet ZuZu, we just love you to pieces. Thanks for always being on guard, on the lookout and protecting us, always first, and always our very best friend.

Ginger is 5 years old today, and she is as happy and precious as can be. We're so lucky that we get to enjoy her smiles and celebrations every day. If we're ever feeling a little down, we just remember to take a page from Ginger's book and everything will be just fine. Happy Birthday sweet Gingersnap!

This December morning the air was still, full of moisture and frost covered the grass. Before the sun rose too high and started to melt the icy crystals would be a perfect time to let the beasts out back and play. They love the cold, and they could run with abandon and wouldn't need to have their paws wiped down when they came back in . . .

Being the youngest means that sometimes you have to wait for the big sisters to finish what they're doing before you can play. Ginger watches her sisters intently while patiently waiting with her front feet tucked right underneath her.
