A Visit With Santa

When visiting Santa recently we accidentally went on "Santa Paws" night and no kids were allowed--only pets.
Thanks to some generous pet owners we didn't leave disappointed and even had a much cuter pose with Santa and some one's canine "child". Fortunately, T has suddenly stopped panicking around dogs and anything with a potential to nip or bite him. Whew! If this change of heart is really cured, maybe we can get a doggie of our own. T is already asking....

This year, T is asking Santa for Apples to Apples game and also "tether ball gloves". They can't be found in any sporting goods store, as my mom found out. They are just regular knitted gloves so that T can hit the ball harder without hurting his knuckles. He's what's called a "hard ball" on the school tether ball court, he said proudly--and with gloves he can hit the ball even better!
The backyard is still a mud pit, but I did get the tether ball set and it's hidden in the garage until I get it cemented in place in the yard. Hopefully by Xmas...

I was at the mall this week and surprised to see all the dogs and cats waiting in Santa's line. It must have been pet night here, too! So glad your son wasn't disappointed!
(BTW, only my littlest one would sit on Santa's lap this year!)

He gets more and more handsome every year! T, not Santa, that is. Glad to hear the animal phobia is gone...now your troubles are about to begin!

What a cute picture!
Good that he has overcome his fear of dogs. I think it's really great growing up with a pet!
