I took this photo a week or so ago while we were &#8220;camping out&#8221; in the living room for a few days while the DH was re-painting the bedroom.  We&#8217;ve since re-painted the living room, dining room, and bathroom.  DH is now working on the kitchen.  This work has needed to be done for a long time, but he hates painting so has put it off till a week before Christmas when the whole family will be here for dinner.  We haven&#8217;t even bought an Xmas tree yet, so I don&#8217;t know how we&#8217;ll ever finish in time!<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size:85%;\"><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size:85%;\">Buddy had a day at the *spa* this past Saturday &#8211; we sent him for the first time to the vet for a medicated bath, ear cleaning, and nail trim.  He came home with a shiny coat and at least 5 pounds less fur.  I&#8217;m amazed (still after 10 years) with how much he sheds!  The vet staff said that he behaved well which was a surprise considering how fearful he is at the vet.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size:85%;\"><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size:85%;\">Anyway, we have an assortment of Xmas hats, scarves, antlers, and bandanas that we torture him with around the holidays.  He takes it all in stride &#8211; he&#8217;s such a good boy!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Buddy is just exhausted with all the holiday preparations &#8211; poor old boy!
