Gifts abound

I often open up our front door so that Scrubs can sit there and look out. It keeps him from jumping on the couch to see out the window. We have a glass door that stays shut instead. Scrubs fell asleep in front of that door today and went crazy when the mailman woke him up by ringing the bell. Poor Scrubs!

However, Scrubs got much happier when we opened the box from Tara in California. Tara you are the greatest. Such cute little boy's clothes abounded!!! Baby scrapbooking stuff and even better, chocolate. Tara had also included a gift for Scrubs. As soon as I pulled it out, he went nuts and then sat down to wait for me to give it to him. He's been chewing on it ever since. This is especially great since his last rope was recently retired due to being shredded into two pieces. I cannot promise how long this one will look like it does, but boy is he enjoying it. Here's a photo of Scrubs with his new toy from Tara, who will get to meet him in February and realize that his name fits him perfectly!

Speaking of gifts, my mom brought a gift when they came down for Thanksgiving, and I just got around to taking a picture of it. How cute is this? Of course we can't leave it on him because he'd chew it to shreds, but it is cute nonetheless.

And here is a third picture of our pup with both ears flipped backwards -- a typical sign that he has been playing very hard.
