Christmas is for dogs

DateTuesday, December 26, 2006 at 11:14PM

rudy_watching_presents.jpgFor the past 15 years, I've said that Christmas is just for dogs. This Christmas I got to watch Dexter, a friend's lab/shepherd mix, and Una, another friend's golden retriever, open and consume the presents I gave them (peanut butter treats).

In the past, Christmas was a very exciting day for my Rudy, who is no longer with us. The series of photos taken every Christmas were nearly identical: 1) Rudy riveted to the cluster of wrapped presents. 2) Upon receiving permission, Rudy picking out her present and ripping it one. 3) Repeat #2 several times. 4) Rudy zonked out on the couch after a full morning of excitement

rudy_ripping_present.jpgRudy knew what to expect on Christmas, just like she knew what to do several months later for the Easter Biscuit Hunt.
