Miss Mandolyn is one year old today. The Fluffinator was happy to hang out with Auntie Cody, Grandma, Charlie and Bonnie. And of course a new bone.

Cardi Claus has arrived in El Paso!  Thanks Emily, so cute :-). (http://dreameyce.com/blog/)

We Cardi bloggers have fun during the holidays with Cardi Claus, our Claus Coordinator Janet of Mockingbird Cardigans  (http://liveswithcorgi.blogspot.com/) works out the matches and we do an exchange with some other Cardi Blogger around the country.

This year my Claus went to Melissa, Darby and Pumpkin  in Southern California (http://darbysdaily.blogspot.com/)

It is a new and fun holiday tradition.  Thanks Claus Coordinator Janet for sending the Cardi reindeer on their way.

From L to R Cookie, Fudge, Nog and Candy

Little Fudgie is the 1st to have peepers, everyone else is still keeping them closed but I’m betting when I get home somebody else will be looking around.

As the circle of the seasons once again comes to a close and we celebrate the season of light, love and hope we wish you all good things.

As we celebrate the Solstice and the days now begin to lengthen and the earth begins anew we hope for you all the happiness of the holiday seasons. May you and yours celebrate your faith, enjoy your traditions, your family and friends. May you remember and rejoice in those that have gone before and count your blessings both great and small.

Bright Blessings to you and yours,

Jinnie and the dogs of Solstice

Babies are 12 days old and not much happening around here other than eating and sleeping. They are all over a pound now which is always a milestone. They are more active everyday and I expect we will start to “see” some peepers soon. I promise photos again soon.

But if you need a puppy photo fix go check out their cousins (or whatever relation they are, maybe aunt/uncle) over at http://www.arylan.com. Be prepared for cute overload!
