It was about a year ago that I was starting to watch Zoe and Phoenix turn grey and feeling 100% terrified that I might end up dogless again.

Happy Holidays everyone!
Alice still remains the friendliest of any of the dogs we've ever had.
She loves all the humans she meets, including weirdly dressed ones! So we
knew she'd have a blast meeting Santa. She did amazingly well in a long
line of a wide range of dogs. It was so loud, there was so much barking
but Alice kept it together. She was SO happy. It was such a fun time!
