It was a sad day yesterday.

We said good bye to Lottie the Greyhound. This means that for the first time in 20 years, there is no Greyhound in residence at Kemar. Lottie turned 15 in October, but has been in failing health for some time now. It was just time to say good bye. She will be missed as are all the dogs who have gone before her.

Last night was the Greenville Kennel Club Christmas party. Despite being not much in the mood for revelry, I went with Charlotte as we had already made plans and I didn’t want to disappoint anyone by not going at the last minute even though I’m sure they would have understood. We had a nice time and for the first time I came home with a gift that I can actually use 😛 Of course I stole it to get it, but that was all within the rules of the game, so it was fair and allowed. It’s a plush dog bed that some little whippet person is going to love. I just haven’t decided yet WHICH little Whippet Princess will be the recipient.

Our resident seamstress made me a very nice cover for the back of my car to protect it from dog hair and dirt. It’s got holly leaves on it and is quite festive. Sharon is such a sweet lady and so very talented when it comes to crafts. She also bakes the most wonderful sweets for our meetings! Cookies, brownies, cakes and pies and they are all to die for! Oh and she has Greyhounds which makes her totally my kind of person!

Our company Christmas party is tomorrow. I’m sure that will be loads of fun as well since Jean is in charge of the arrangements. Last year’s party was an absolute hoot and I expect this one to be right there with the laughs and hilarity.

Our weather is rather odd. For the last couple of days, it’s been moderate temperatures (high 50’s for highs and high 40’s/low 50’s for lows) and very foggy. We did get some rain yesterday, too (of course on the drive home last night 🙁 ) and I know we still need it, but I sure wish the driveway would have a chance to dry out before the next deluge comes. I am VERY thankful that we’ve missed the bad weather that the west and mid-west have received over the past week along with the cold temperatures! I guess I should not complain at all about a bit of fog and rain.

Well, that’s about it for us. Hope you all are doing well and staying warm and dry!

Love to all,

Margaret
