Shopping yesterday Paul and I ran across the perfect gift for our yellow Lab, Stoney.
You may remember this Spring I lamented about how Stoney longed to kill and eat on of the squirrels that haunts his backyard. So Stoney went into training and even went jogging with Kristen for a while to try to get fast enough to catch a squirrel. Even once, in early summer Stony actually had a squirrel in his mouth… but it got away. The rest of summer Stoney was depressed and refused to chase the black squirrel in the backyard.
Well, we bought Stoney a squirrel for Christmas. Sure it’s fake. But I’d like to think that he’ll enjoy killing it just the same. Perhaps it will even help him come out of his depression and begin training again.
In other news, the Christmas eve service was fun tonight. The MainStreet portion was a trip. It was the first (and last) time we did something without a rehearsal… and we pulled off most of the elements of it just fine. I kind of made up a character on the spot to match a video… which was pretty fun. It wasn’t a MainStreet with any content, but it was definitely a lot of fun to do. And I think the audience enjoyed it. The second half of the night was our regular Christmas eve. Jimmy and Jason did a very nice job.
