The Sled Dogs Prepare for the Holidays

     Last  Friday, I was able to compete in the school Geography Bee. It was exciting and I got to learn new things about geography. I got third place which is an accomplishment to me.  
     On Saturday we made chocolate pretzels. I ate several but mum told me to save a few. We also made cookies. They turned out to be delicious. Decorating is not my best activity but we all have to learn at some point. 
    Hoover has gotten into the Christmas spirit. He became my good old reindeer with Lizzie. He had his antlers and let us put them on more than once. He would run around and play with the antlers on. It was nice he tolerated the antlers even when we took him on a walk. We got a few looks! Lizzie, on the other hand, could not stand the antlers. She just does not like things on her head, I'm guessing. 
    Yet Lizzie is not a Scrooge. She helped decorate Christmas cookies. Of course she is not a very good worker. She attempted to steal a cookie. Luckily, mum was on the case and stopped her.            
     When we got our Fraser Fir, Nikita and Lizzie were interested in decorating and observed our work. They may be ready to help out next year. But we still need to put a bell at the bottom of our tree. We need an alarm system since Hoover bowled the tree over last year playing with his toy. 
   The sled dogs were a little depressed when the snow was ruined by the rain. It was turned into slush and that is no fun at all.
