Yes, it's yet another Christmas in the books.
This one has been kinda busy! Well, I've had some technical issues as I noted in my previous post. But there's one other….well, wonderful reason!
But first, here are some photos from our usual evening to check out the Christmas lights. As I noted back in my 2020 Christmas post, during the heights of Covid, this was something we'd do every year with Sammy and Frankie.
And even though Frankie left us in 2021 and Sammy in 2017, it's something we still try to do every year.
Though this year was special. You see, we did it with this little guy…..
Meet JJ. After Frankie's passing, folks were asking us about adopting another little one. But we just couldn't do it. We just couldn't conceive of replacing family, you know? We just could not think of doing that.
Then, the Missus's coworker sent Her a photo of the little guy above, barely two months old. And he just seemed like "the one"….. So, we cancelled all our upcoming trips and on Halloween night, he joined the mmm-yoso family.
So, say hello to JJ.
He is quite the character, a little ball of energy, full on puppy mode, very smart, loves to eat (like daddy!), so FOMO, and seems to have an opinion on everything.
He also looks like a grumpy old man….so the Missus says we now have "two of them" in the household.
He is growing fast and has doubled his weight and grown so much since he arrived.
We last had a puppy in the house back in 2003……..man, I don't know how we did it back then!
JJ is quite the character and really likes people and car rides, so you may be seeing an influx of posts on dog friendly places. Things have changed a lot since we had Sammy and Frankie. 
And so, this year it's JJ, the Missus, and I who would like to wish you and yours the most wonderful and safe Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
