An Early Christmas Present
Since we will be in Des Moines on Christmas Day, Grace let Doug open one of his gifts early this year. As you can see from this photo, Charlie is very jealous of his new handsome sweater. We may have to track down a big & tall pet store so we can get Chuck his own outfit.


Are you sure Charlie is jealous? .. I think the look is more of a panicked "OMG .. I can't believe what they did now, please oh please don't let there be another sweater under the tree for me .. why can't they get me some nice catnip, or a nice bird to play with!"
I'd actually like that sweater.
Doug looks adorable. Does he still run around like a kitten?
Riley - I like it too! I told Grace she would have to try and make me one to match.
Claire - He totally does still act like a kitten. Doug just had his first birthday and while he is definitely much bigger then when we first got him, he still needs to grow into his tall legs. Sometimes he'll run down the hall so fast his back legs catch up to his front!
Brian - Yes, I managed to get Doug's sweater on Charlie and he hated it. We are on the look out for a Santa hat or maybe a nice scarf for him to try, we think that may be a better approach. By all means, send along a friendly bird he can snuggle up with.
