One of our favorite things about the holidays is that folks send us updates!
From Oregon comes this note:

Hello, this is the first tree for the pups. Notice the lack of presents. Rey is a collector and we were wondering how the ornaments would hold up. They are doing fine, it is the packages that thrill him. Jaz is her wonderful self, not sticking her nose where it doesn't belong. Even when he stole a great squeaky toy for the neighbor dogs, she would not be party to that kind of behavior! They are as different as night and day, yet look how similar they appear. I could have spent years trying to pick two dogs that are so close in size, color , texture, etc. It has been an interesting two years, bringing up two pups without an older, wiser dog to help me. As Rey approaches his two year mark Dec 30 and Jaz will be 3 in April, I am finding myself with some of the best Bouviers ever. Love, Janet, Dave, Jaz and Rey
