Although the big day for us as a family of 3 is of course Wednesday, the mother-in-law had her Christmas morning with us.
She got a new Kindle from us and a ridiculous amount of sweets and other nice things.
I have a nice new jumper and some lovely local cider to get into.
And the dog, well, she got her own sofa.
"Have you ever wondered what people used to name their dogs back in medieval times?
"Lucky for us, there was this book written back in the 15th century that included over 1,000 names that were considered to be suitable for dogs," Lexi says.
After reading the entire book, she shared some of her favorite names, which included Garlik, Nosewise, Synfull, Salmon, Mustarde, Bryan, and also Nise and Noty, Filthe, Dredefull, and Arguement.
The book, which featured about 1,065 dog names that people deemed appropriate back then, was recently sold into a closed private collection.
The Smithsonian Magazine said Sturdy, Whitefoot, Hardy, Jakke, Bo, Terri, Troy, Nosewise, Amiable, Nameles, Clenche, Bragge, Ringwood and Holdfast were all also popular dog names

My phone wanted me to look at this pic taken a year ago, of Cookie. So you should too.
I miss her every day (she left us 3 months ago)
Sometimes my dog looks like he's running for office. He would probably campaign on providing limitless free lunches.

A little fluffy puppy cuteness for this pawfect Friday. She wishes everyone a very happy weekend.
My photography probably sucks, my image description is as good as I know how to make it, so anyone feel free to elaborate.
As part of their training, a crew of Canadian service dogs watched Billy Elliott: The Musical at Ontario's Stratford Festival theatre.
