Holiday Photos
November – December 2025

I received a lot of Thanksgiving photos.
As I start receiving Christmas photos, I’ll add them,
so check back frequently to see additions.

Breeze (2 years 5 months old, ZZ litter, black & tan) and Charis (9 years 11 months old, JJ litter, sable)
“Hoping…”

 

I received these photos of two AAA litter pups (2 years 1 month old) waiting for something to happen on Thanksgiving.
First is Asher:  “Have a wonderfully relaxing Thanksgiving – like I am.”

Then Ellie:  “Good morning and happy thanksgiving.  I’ve spent more than a week preparing food for today’s gathering. Wish you could come.  Thank you for being you and all the hard work you do.  Here is Ellie currently waiting for me to get the morning started.”

Hyder (HH litter, 11 years 5 months):
Photo 1:  “Hyder watching the Thanksgiving Day parades.”
Photo 2:  “Hyder watching the big Thanksgiving Day dog show.”

 

Rainn (HH litter, 11 years 5 months):
Unfortunately, Rainn died just before Thanksgiving.  

 

Lando (NN litter, 7 years 11 months old)
Lando cuddling with ‘his’ girl as she watches the dog show on Thanksgiving Day.

 

Leidy (OO litter, 6 years 3 months)
“Leidy says Happy Thanksgiving.”

Cash (QQ litter, 6 years 10 months)
Cash impatiently waited for his turkey feast and then PLAYTIME. 
See all the toys he’s brought to the door?

 

Jax (TT litter, 5 years 1 month)
“Happy Thanksgiving!”

 

Kellan (TT litter, 5 years 1 month)
“Kellan relaxing after the feast.”

 

Talon (TT litter, 5 years 1 month)
“Happy Thanksgiving!  Talon says hey Grandma…eat lots of turkey for me.  Mom only lets me eat my dog food.  I am having a little remodel done on a room, and every single person that has come in for that, can’t get over what a calm, well behaved GSD he is!! Most have never met one like him…still a wonderful source of comfort for me and still watches over Steve always.”

 

Porter (WW litter, 3 years 10 months)
“Happy Thanksgiving! I got married a couple weeks ago. Hope all is well.“

 

Degen (XX litter, 3 years 4 months)
“Happy Thanksgiving.”

 

My therapy dogs had fun with our turkey costume. 
We actually got photos at two schools and one nursing home!

My Hopeful (5 years 6 months old, SS litter) had fun wearing the costume during Reading Dog with the Holy Name School kindergarteners. Four kids get to read to her each time.  I love it when they can’t let go of their trading cards.  They get one each time they do Reading Dog.

 

My Justice (4 years 5 months old) wore it on a visit to Westview Healthcare Center.

 

My Lovely (LL litter, 9 years 9 months old) wore it to Reading Dog at Tongue River Elementary. This was the first time at Reading Dog for several kids who are in Kinderboost (they will be in Kindergarten next year) and they were fascinated by the trading cards they received for coming.
