Twelve Dogs of Christmas Pageant

It’s on Chet’s FB page. Today’s #3. Just send in a photo of your dog or clearly – see below – cat. And now over to Carole Luksa who writes: “This is Mokey. He, too, is a good boi. Tree is still standing.”

  1. I think all of my pets have been posted in Phriday Photos, but I’ll have to check. I think I may have missed Candy and Dolly, my parent’s dogs so I will get bios of them written up, maybe before the end of the year. That will finish Phriday Photos I guess.

  2. Well, it is that time of year for our annual Christmas Party/Holiday Dinner. Actually for the past couple of years, for various reasons, we have done it somewhat differently, hosting a series of smaller gatherings, rather than a single one of 18-20 people. However, last night we did have what would be the biggest gathering for this year under our new approach (7 people), and if I say so modestly (well not too modestly), WTAFM outdid herself. We have also trended in the direction of a number of smaller plates, rather than a single main entree, as the menu will reveal, all made by Debbie (well, except perhaps for the oysters, which she neither caught nor shucked, and the cheeses)

      1. Serious!…..Debbie should apply to be on Master Chef….snort!….She sounds like she could out cook 99% of regular people. And probably some major Chefs….wheeze!

  3. Mom is so glad you posted the menu! We’ve missed seeing it the past couple of years. Was Franklin serving as guest greeter this year?

  4. Here!….My friend is thinking Ham for Christmas dinner….snuffle! …Maybe some humble potatoes and a veg or 2….sneeze!….Definitely sparkling wine. Somehow this menu doesn’t really compare to Chef Debbie….heh!

  5. Wookies Paw!….Do youse ever try your paw at cooking a meal for Debbie???…snort!….And does she approve? Or do you have to ply her with Martinis before she eats?.(just kidding)…snorkel! ….Really we here are interested to know if you do have some menus up your sleeve….heh!
