X-mas

We had merry Christmas dinner with our new friends Kelly and Shahla:

They used to live up in Woodinville and Kelly is an ex-Microsoftie as well. Shahla was a realtor but is taking a breather from that since the Vegas R.E. market is still in the process of tanking. They only moved to Vegas a couple of years ago themselves. When we got home I heard what sounded like a cat yeowling and went to the front door to see what who was making all of the noise and a skinny white cat tried to come in the house. While I like cats I figured that wasn’t a good idea, but since it was cold out I thought I’d bring the cat into the garage as it was getting below forty in the early morning. Shortly after opening the garage door I figured that wasn’t a good idea since the cat wouldn’t have anywhere to do its business, so I took one of our plastic crates and a bunch of moving blankets and rocks and made a kitty house then put out some water and tuna for the kitty. Kitty ate up half the tuna but wasn’t interested in the kitty house.

We then preceded to open presents and here’s couple of shots of the dogs with new toys:

Duncan with a new blinkie ball.

Tula with a toy sheep.

We were up late watching the tube and about 2:30 am the cat was at the back patio door yeowling but the dogs eventually scared it off.
