Momma's Bragging

[Dori & Rua]

Rua's MOM here for a change.  Rua just went to bed...and as usual, she doesn't make any fuss.  And, as usual, when my alarm goes off tomorrow morning, and after I hit the snooze a few times, she'll get up when I open the crate.

 

I have 5 fabulous days off!  No work, no shopping to do (except for some wine).  Don't have to clean house, cook dinner or clean up after!  I am LOVING that!  We will drive north to Shoreview Minnesota on Christmas Eve early AM as my DH has to work tomorrow.  Rua will accompany us north (she was invited back)!  She is an incredible traveler.  She slept or was just content to lay down in her little travel kennel (we made two potty stops) for the 6-1/2 hours.

 

The photographer I used for Rua's Christmas picture emailed me to tell me my other photos were ready.  He had mentioned before that he would like to include Rua's picture on his website under his pet portfolio.  I really want to protect the privacy of my little Rua so I had to think long and hard about that one...NOT! 

 

Also, I sent my breeder one of Rua's Christmas Photo cards.  I received an email from him this evening that said, and I, quote "Thank you so much for the Christmas card and picture of Rua.  You win best looking doodle, best pose, best picture.......of the year award."

 

Our Director at work loved the picture so much, he actually wanted a copy and has it displayed in HIS office along with all of his grandkids!

 

At my husband's boss' office in Edina, they have Rua's picture posted and she is their office mascot!

 

 

I just love her to pieces!  I was never blessed with children and there might be a possibility that she is the center of my life right now.

 

So...does this make this a bragging blog or a blogging brag! 

 

Merry Christmas to you all and God Bless!

 

Dori

Rua is so precious!  You have every right to brag.  Merry Christmas and have a safe trip.

That picture of Little Rua brings tears to my eyes because she is so precious!  Such a little lady and what a good girl.  We drive 8 miles with Gracie but she is a big 73 lb baby.  She does just fine.  Takes up the entire back seat!  I know how you feel about her.  I have 2 kids and now 4 grandbabies who I love with all my heart but none of them live here.  Gracie has taken that spot in my every day life and everything I do revolves around her.  My husband and I love her to death and love being with her all the time.  She is part of our family and is just like a child to us!  Anytime you want to brag about Little Rua...go right ahead...it brings smiles!  Have a very Merry Christmas and give a huge hug to Rua!
