Santa Chuck Says Merry Christmas

MERRY CHRISTMAS

 

 

Chuck  put his Santa hat on last evening, and asked if I would allow him to convey his very best wishes to all the sweet bloggers who visit here. After looking into his soulful eyes, I could hardly say no, now could I?

 

 

 

So here's Chuck in his holiday hat, sending doggy Christmas kisses to all who visit here.

 

Now the other guys/girls weren't having any of that, so they had to get in the act too. Ogie got dressed in his holiday outfit, and after asking me to be sure to spell his name correctly this time, sends his Merry Christmas out as well. (He was quite cross with me for not knowing how to spell his name. He tells me he was famous in his racing days -  I didn't have the nerve to admit to him, that I'd never heard of him before. Oh these temperamental celebrities).

 

 

 

And when he is 'at home' and not posing....

 

 

Evidently this is how he likes to sleep

Dallas & Reilly said their outfits are a bit too tight this year, so they'll just send along their good wishes au naturel. Not sure which is which in this picture as their Mommy took it.

 

Ossie said he didn't care to dress up, he was tired of having us take his picture (he's an old man), but he would be pleased to say Merry Christmas just the same.

Now lest you think that South Florida is always warm sunshine and dolphins...here's a few scenes of what it looked like here Christmas Eve about 4:30pm. We watched this storm roll in and it looked fierce. These pictures were taken from inside looking out through the sliding glass doors as it was thundering.

 

The greenery is an island bird sanctuary, and each evening, the birds flock back for the night's roosting.

 

#3 was snapped just a few seconds before the rain started to pelt down along with the thunder too. It was actually much darker than these pictures show.  In Florida, it can rain & thunder and in a short while there will be sunshine again. Since this happened so late in the evening, it was rather gloomy until dusk settled.

 

I would like to extend a warm welcome to a new follower: Jennifer Spivey. Can't find a link to get back to Jennifer if she has a blog' so Jennifer, if you'll provide me with a blog address, I can share it with all my blog friends, and they can meet you too. Thanks so much for becoming a new follower here.

 

Hope you enjoyed the pictures and are having a wonderful day with your loved ones. This is a scheduled post, as I plan to spend the day with those I love most as well. Big Hugs, God Bless and Merry Merry.
