Seven years ago I gave my god-daughter Shanay a Dachshund puppy for Christmas. Everyone says that you shouldn't give a pet for Christmas, but she has loved and looked after Caspar, and he is devoted to her.

This was them seven years ago. She was wearing a fairy outfit over jeans, and Caspar had a red ribbon around his neck.

 

This is Shanay and her beloved dog two years ago

One day, Shanay went to the dogs! Why she fell asleep on the dog bed, I do not know!

A dog is not just for Christmas, but for life.  May you, and your pets, have a Joyful and Blessed Christmas, and a Peaceful and Happy New Year.
