I could not think of anything I wanted to do MORE on my first day of vacation than take Jake out and get us some exercise. We walked, ran, he sniffed and explored. We just went around our neighborhood and checked out all of the Christmas decorations. For being in a depressed area, my neighborhood always looks like the North Pole. Two of my neighbors set up lights just for my kids , I'm sure.
We do have another dog, a little mix breed named Sugaree. When my daughter and I asked to get her, we begged and begged my husband and he said, "yes" and reserved naming rights. He named her after what I find to be a tolerable Grateful Dead song. Although I don't talk a lot about her on my little blog, she is so cool, and a great companion for Jake. She's not that photogenic, though.

No major events today, just a nice walk. I am committing to walk him frequently during my vacation. We are looking forward to it!
