Perpetual Ruminations

Tuesday

Christmas eve and almost time for me to head off to bed. It's been kind of a difficult day for me; I'm not feeling the best, again, and I'm missing Klarissa a lot. She was born right before Christmas, and she was always so enthusiastic over Christmas. She may have not been able to fully understand, but for a Golden Retriever she seemed to understand more than she should have.

I will really miss not seeing her shredding paper tomorrow morning as she opens her gifts. She always made a huge mess of the wrapping paper, and sometimes it seemed like she enjoyed opening the gifts more than anything else.

On the other side, we have a new member of the family to teach the joys of Christmas this year, so there is the trade off. I hope Hanna catches on quickly to opening her gifts, and being rescued from the pound, this will be her first Christmas with a family. She already seems to be excited and doesn't even know why.

Well, sometime tomorrow I'll post in here about our first Christmas with Hanna.

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas...
