Poor little pug dressed up as a Christmas tree. Sort of.

Friends took this photo of their dog on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. It was the image on their Christmas card this year, with a caption that read …

… “May your dreams come true this Christmas.”

My sentiments exactly.

    Merry Christmas, Claire. And to your fur-family as well. And to all the Claire-folk who keep the comment section interesting and worth checking back on.

    Christmas gift suggestions:

    To your enemy, forgiveness.
    To an opponent, tolerance.
    To a friend, your heart.
    To a customer, service.
    To all, charity.
    To every child, a good example, and
    To yourself, respect.
    – Oren Arnold

    Merry Christmas Claire

    Mike R — Wow. That’s a lot more difficult than buying a sweater at Walmart. 😉 But a great list of aspirations for Christmas or any time. (Some of us seriously need to work on that forgiving enemies part …)

    Merry X-moose to all.

    Re forgiveness: When Cardinal Richelieu lay on his deathbed, his confessor asked if he had forgiven his enemies. He replied, “I have no enemies. France has enemies.”

    winston — Yay! It’s great to hear from you. We lost touch there (mea culpa) and I was afraid we might not hear from you again around these parts. I’ll drop you a private email to see how things are going.
