Today he got into the present closet again (there are 8 nights to hanukkah, this is only five tonight) ... well how did he open a box, remove the SNOW GLOBE, unwrap all of the tissue, notice it is not a dog toy, and leave it all ... undamaged?</div><div><br></div><div>And he's the dickens about that present closet too .... he has had almost ALL of the dog toys out of there at one time or another. I'm trying to figure out how he's openning the door, but don't know so far. After the snow globe tonight I'm wondering if I'm supposed to be wrapping his? Snoopy is six but he came home with us last January so I'm pretty sure this is his
first Hanukkah. He approves of celebrating over and over every night btw. </div><div><br></div><div>And Snoopy is getting a LOT better about sharing toys. Somehow getting a new one every night has him relaxed ... tonight he got a squeaky squirrel that he loved for like an hour and then he left it and Cyrus picked it up. In the past that would have set Snoopy off but he just came over and sniffed Cyrus and the toy and walked past and got a different one. Would have been a whole different story as recently as last month. Last night they were tugging a "loaf of dog" and Snoopy pulled 110 lb Cyrus all the way across the living room .... what a mighty will ... they were having SO much fun.</div><div><br></div><div>Anyway Cyrus (or any other dog I know) has never, ever been such a ... well ... snoop. And it amazes me that with all Snoopy's rumaging nothing gets broken or torn ... only kind of damp and well ...
drooly.</div><div><br></div><div>Do your bassets do this too? Do you wrap their presents?</div><div><br></div><div>Oh, and about Wen's question today ... I asked at the doggie store in los gatos and they said it is the "standard yogurt icing recipe you find on the web ... only a whole lot less sugar" They have all the specially decorated treats there and she sait that is how the get that colored decoration on there. But how about the sprinkles? The only "dog" sprinkles they had are the color of sand, not very appealing but Snoopy and Cyrus like them. They cost way too much though, can I use regular sprinkles do you think?</div><div><br></div><div>Dale ...with Snoopy (who wants the present closet inventory??) and Cyrus (oh Please, can't you let anything be a surprise?)</div><div style="position:fixed"></div>
