My santa delivered a bunch of goodies for Guinness and Anubis, and both dogs went crazy! Boxes! Boxes from Amazon! BOXES! Two boxes full of goodies!

Not pictured is the K9 water bottle (which was SO nice and will be used many, many times on many future hikes!) because the dogs were far too excited about the chuck-it ball.

Guinness -- the black, tan, and white corgi -- was being a bit poopy after being told that, no, he couldn't eat the book. Anubis -- the red and white corgi -- was also perturbed that I was more excited about reading the book on local hikes than throwing the ball. "Chuck the damn ball, Mom!"

But, best of all, my santa was from across the Sound! So exciting to be connected with another PNW'r.

Thank you, Santa! We can't wait to go on a hike and take the toys to the beach! Your gifts were so thoughtful. Please excuse my lateness for posting these photos. My dogs are procrastinators just like their mother. ;)
