Merry Christmas!!!

Happy holiday wishes to you and yours!

1 Merwin 'Til Christmas

I realize I bring a version of this out every year, but I just think it is worth imagining the joy and exhilaration he feels right here in this moment. Plus, the ear thing is kind of funny.

2 Merwins 'Til Christmas

Cruisin'.

3 Merwins 'Til Christmas

Poor thing with his legs sticking out all over as I try to hold him.

4 Merwins 'Til Christmas

This photo is intended to let us all know that the world is NOT ending and we will indeed see beaches and sun again come June.

5 Merwins 'Til Christmas

Merwin and friends.

6 Merwins 'Til Christmas

This is intense.

7 Merwins 'Til Christmas

I really do hate included myself in these things, but with one week to go until Christmas, it is necessary to show Merwin's absolute DELIGHT at donning these reindeer antlers last year. Can't you see how thrilled he is??

8 Merwins 'Til Christmas

Spoiled. Which one? I don't know.

9 Merwins 'Til Christmas

"Hiding."

10 Merwins 'Til Christmas

Happy dog at the beach.

11 Merwins 'Til Christmas

Summer throwback.

12 Merwins 'Til Christmas

Just cute. Nothing more.

13 Merwins 'Til Christmas

Easy to get into this position. Not so easy to get out of it.

14 Merwins 'Til Christmas

I just can't resist re-sharing his birthday photo for a few reasons. A) He is sitting at the table like a human and anytime dogs do human-esque things, it makes me laugh. B) The frigging cake. We/I got our dog a cake. Who are we (me)??? C) The look of absolute apprehension on his little face.

15 Merwins 'Til Christmas

Not electrocuted. Just extra furry.

16 Merwins 'Til Christmas

In addition to a view of our  dirty floors, here is a demonstration of this dog's ability to seek rest in the oddest of places. In this case, on top of the chair leg and on top of the cable cord, wedged against the wall. How relaxing!

17 Merwins 'Til Christmas

Well this was fun.

18 Merwins 'Til Christmas

Business meeting dog.

19 Merwins 'Til Christmas

It was apparently way to hard to get all the way onto the bed.

20 Merwins 'Til Christmas

Doggy yoga.

21 Merwins 'Til Christmas

Contrary to what you may think, this is indeed a photo of Merwin. He is the little white blur under the tree. He is running. He is happy.

22 Merwins 'Til Christmas

Figurehead. This picture happened before he fell off the boat. HAHAH.
Thanks, Lori, for both the picture and the boat ride.

23 Merwins 'Til Christmas

I think sometimes he thinks we can't see him.

24 Days of Merwin

Back by popular demand (hahaha) is our Merwin Christmas countdown. Let us get things started with a slighty blurry, no nonsense version of the pooch cruising on the ferry to Martha's Vineyard.
