Shirley L. in Portland, Oregon, who adopted our wobbler boy Mink from us a few months ago, sent us this photo of him under the family Christmas tree. Shirley wrote, "Truly my best Christmas present ever ever ever ever!"
I bet that's exactly what Mink is thinking about Shirley and her husband James, too!

Shirley, I'm sure your tree looks wonderful, ornaments or not! :)
My daughter sent me a picture of her tree with her cat just sitting there staring. I asked her how long after that picture was taken did Cora get the ornaments and she said about 2 minutes later lol!
Thank you for giving Mink a wonderful home!

He's a Christmas Kitty! Both of my shi tzu's always slept under the tree. I always thought of them as my Christmas puppies. Even tho they are gone, I still think of them that way. Happy Merry!

This is the best, and only way, to enjoy a precious fur under the Christmas tree. What a handsome boy Mink is, and a very lucky boy too. Have a great Christmas Shirley, James, Alayne & Steve. Many warm, furry, happy wishes from our Florida home to your homes.

All of the photos from the last several blog posts have been wonderful. They will make anyone smile. I wish for all of you at Rolling Dog Farm to have a great Christmas. And you will, surrounded by all those sweet animals. God bless you for what you do.

What a sweet picture of Mink. Hopefully he didn't go after the ornaments after it was taken :)

These types of post bring happy tears. I love when people share their photos of their new family member with the rest of us. Merry Christmas, RDF!
