Sheltie Secret Santa 2014

This year my finances were back in order to be able to participate in a Secret Santa swap. We have such fun doing this every year, but this year my Secret Santa did an AMAZING job. Everything is perfect and spot on for all the dogs, which is especially a surprise with Pepper, who is not really much for toys or playing, but absolutely loves her gift-toy so much it really had me tearing up and about to cry with the joy she was displaying over this little crinkly Cuz toy.

ANYWAY, on to the pics!

Obviously boxes are for standing on, Payton says. (I seriously had to shoo him away so I could open the darn thing.)

The pile of goodies!

You must read the card first, it’s rude otherwise.

I was super excited about these treats because I had been wanting to try them but nobody in town had any!

Auggie thinks this must also be more food.

First to open presents is Auggie since he is the oldest. He basically ripped the paper just enough to expose the tennis balls, and then began trying to rip into the netting to get them out.

OPEN IT OPEN IT OPEN IT

He will stop long enough to nom this second package which is most definitely also cookies.

Yummy yummy!

NOW THROW THE BALL

Pepper next. She’s not very good at opening presents, she thought this was it. “Oh this is mine? Okay.”

“Oh you mean there’s more to it?”

“I like it.” We stopped opening presents to play with this thing for about five minutes which Payton HATED because he hadn’t gotten to open his yet.

She likes her cookie treats too.

FINALLY it is Payton’s turn.

Auggie is totally willing to help though if you need it.

It’s a tuggy loofa dog!

Instant tugging.

Seriously Auggie wants in on this.

I couldn’t get Payton to put the toy down long enough to come back for his cookies, but it’s okay, Auggie’s got it.

Auggie models the cool sheltie t-shirt that is for me!

The big haul of doggy goodies.

And this cute puppy.
