There will be a large group at The Golden K this Christmas! The breakdown of attendees goes like this: three humans, five canines, and one cow. Well, only part of a cow; a prime rib to be more specific.
Meet the humans: Michael, Holly, and Jessica (our daughter).
Meet the Canines: Kali, Kloe, Smokey, Sadie, and Jaynee. Kali and Kloe you already know and Smokey some of you have “met” in past posts. Smokey is an eleven pound Morky (Maltese / Yorkshire mix) of pure cute. Sadie and Jaynee belong to our friends who live nearby and who will be traveling for a few days. Sadie and Jayne will be with us for three days over Christmas. I’m not sure what breeds Sadie is but she is about 45 pounds, 11 years old, fuzzy, and very sweet. Jayne is an Australian Shepard mix about 35 pounds and lighting fast. She and Kloe have become good friends over the past several months. Kloe and Jayne run, chase, and wrestle while Kali and Sadie lay and watch them or sleep in the sun. It’s a good mix and lots of fun to watch.
Meet the Cow: just kidding. I meant eat the cow (sorry PETA advocates but I really love beef…
So this long Christmas weekend will be interesting and fun to say the least. It could be a howl! Smokey arrives tomorrow (Friday) with my daughter, Sadie and Jayne arrive Saturday. They will all leave on Monday. So we’ll have three days with twenty paws running around the… well, probably running around the house because it’s supposed rain and/or snow most of that time.
I sure hope Santa is quiet coming down our chimney Christmas Eve otherwise he’ll be sharing his milk and cookies with 200 pounds of dog!
With a little Mother Nature luck the nine of us (yes, I’m including the cow) may wake up to this on Christmas morning as we did over Thanksgiving weekend. Just enough to look pretty but not so much to have to shovel 🙂

Feliz Navidog to you and all the fur at the Golden K. Happy noshing with that final ‘guest’ (PETA be damned).
I really hope you write a post about how this Christmas went with all those pups in your house! And I’ll be thinking of you on Sunday, when my son and daughter-in-law will be here with their two dogs (a sweet English Bulldog and a loving, but neurotic pug/terrier mix) and my daughter and son-in-law will be here with their bitchy little chihuahua. (She’s nice to us, but has no use for most people and other dogs.) Somehow, I think our Christmas celebrations are going to have some strong similarities!
Yeah – I may get a lot of material out of the next three days. Good luck with your pack over the holidays. BTW I had to LOL when I read your description of the chihuahua! Have a very Merry and a great Happy!
