like it - happy and safe Christmas to you all

Fab photo TT :) Happy birthday Truffle! You two are so cute in the hat　:-) Must have been shivering cold out there in the snow; nice one, doggies, you are stars!

Thank you Paul and Tommy ..
Quite a challenge to get both of my dogs to sit with their hats on ... Conker will always pose nicely, but Truffle was ready to dig some more snow ! lol.

Happy 2nd Birthday Truffle , you both look so smart in your Christmas outfits ....... :-)

Another lovely photo TT! You had a lot more snow than we did, I think Wellingborough missed it by only a few miles <:O))))

Lovely photo, all the best to you all.xx

Lovely photo TT :o)) It's nice to see both dogs having a great time !
Merry Christmas to you all xxx

Happy Birthday Truffle :o)

Thanks, Amy, Annella, Clarice, and Hywel ...
Several inches of snow ... not too much :o)

Truffle thinks the Christmas celebrations and decorations are all for his birthday...LOL.

They both look so cute, they couldn't possibly ever be naughty! :-)

lol....Lovely photo Tt......happy Christmas xx

Happy Christmas Red aly and Motinot ...
from me and my not-so-naughty boys :o) xx

:-))))) great picture TT, they both always pose so beautifully for all your pictures, or are they frozen to the ground,lol.
Happy Birthday Truffle:-)

Lol. Simbad...
Thanks ... not frozen to the ground.... but it is VERY cold out there ! Truffle has been playing indoors with his birthday present ~ squeaky toy ... :o)

Lovely TT, good to see Truffle joining in the idea of his photo being taken in all sorts of guises although he does look as though he'd like to escape any minute. Conker is obviously a great teacher.

Nice one! I now start laughing before your photos even load on my screen TT!! Just LOVE those two doggies!! :))

Many happy returns to Truffle ... lovely photo. : o ))

Thanks everyone ...
Truffle was soon running around again, eating snow :o)

Lovely picture,don't think I would get a hat on mine for 1 second

great pic of the boys Terra and a very happy birthday to truffle, a big 2 now :o) hugs all round :o) xx

Thank you Bjs and Sandra ..
I've told Truffle that now he's had another birthday, he should be all grown up and sensible ...
.... but I don't think he was listening ... he was busy playing noisy games with his squeaky toy ;o)

Happy birthday, Truffle, you are very handsome. Lovely photo,TT, they are such good boys. Millie refuses point blank to put her backside down on the snow (can't say I blame her!) and as for wearing a seasonal hat, no way, much better to run off and chew it :)

Hello Gee ...
Truffle says thanks for the birthday wishes :o)
I hope Millie has an especially lovely first Christmas with you ... I hear Santa is bringing her lots of gifts from your family members. Lol. ;o)

Lovely photo TT...as always...they are such GOOD boys...happy birthday Truffle..:o))

think its the terrible two`s Terra lol

Thanks Bloomer...
Truffle is sleepy now, after an exciting day with his new squeaky toy... :o)

Sandra ... Lol... ;o)

Truffle was well-behaved on his birthday ...
... only one trip to the "Naughty Step"...
... that's good for him... lol.

Lovely photo TT... happy Birthday Truffle... xx and hope you and all the flowerpot men have a very happy Christmas ....not forgetting wallace and gromit... xxx

PS. Wallace and Gromit are spending Christmas in the city... Lol... they'll return to the garden in the springtime ... ;o)

dont blame them TT.. hope they have it a bit warmer than us... : o))

Merry Christmas TT and Happy Birthday to Truffle. Does he get two presents or is he like all those whose birthday is near Christmas? (two in one)

Hi Linda ... Merry Christmas...
Truffle gets two sets of presents .. but he thinks all the pretty lights and Christmas trees are there to celebrate his birthday ;o)

lovely photo TT.
My youngest grandaughter Megan is 5 on Christmas Eve and thinks the same as truffle lol

Happy birthday to Megan... !!! :o)))

Happy Christmas to you, Truffle, Conker and Crocus, and happy birthday to Truffle!

Happy Birthday to you....
and the hat suits you, toooooooo!!! XXX

I hope Truffle didn't have to pose too long on that snow. Conker has a nice thick coat to take care of the more delicate parts. I'm sure Truffle had a lovely 2nd birthday~but he says please mum...... make sure it's a heatwave next time.

Happy Christmas, Pip, David and Dorjac ...
Truffle seems to like the snow... he has certainly eaten quite a lot of it lately ! :o)

Terra, fantastic festive pic, Truffle's face was made for a hat lol They both look beautiful:-) Your euonymus will be fine..impossible to kill:-) Have the most wonderful Christmas:-)xxx

Wonderful photo, our dogs won't sit still for a second!

happy birthday to Truffle! great photo!

Thanks Bornagain, Lulu and Arlene :o) xxx

LOVELY COUPLE. VERY NICE .BEST WISHES .DAVID

Thanks David...
Merry Christmas to you and yours :o)

Ho Ho Ho.... Merry Christmas Conker and truffle(and happy birthday too Truffle) similar time to mine!!! But mine was 50 years before your's Truffle(poor ol' devil)
Those Spindle trees(Euonymus) are pretty hardy Tt, as long as the soil in the pot is nice and firm with no frost pockets!

What a fantastic photo! 2 Santa Doggies! :-)) You are so clever, TT, to get your dogs to pose like that! Most dogs would take off & probably chew the hats!

Belated birthday greeting to Truffle!

Happy Christmas to you & the dogs & your family.

P.S.: Our daughter has had a baby boy, James. We are going to their house this evening to see them.

Well TT, that photo is certainly merry and bright, Truffle looks wonderful posing for his 2nd Birthday and as usual Conker is taking it in his stride.
Bet Crocus was whistling a merry tune indoors.
Hugs to you all.

Happy birthday Paul ...
... I bought the euonymus already in the barrel from a stall at a dog show last summer ... let's hope it was well-planted ! ;o)

Hi Balcony ...
... Congrats on baby James... grandson .. what a lovely Christmas present !
Conker and Truffle love wearing hats etc... they elbow each other out of the way to be first in line to try on anything new ! lol.. Truffle says thanks and Crocus says tweet...;o)

Hello Stroller ...
Sending merry and bright hugs to you... :o)

Thanks for the congratulations. TT! Mum & baby now safely at home. We went to visit them yesterday & got some photos. Look out for a picture or two of James & me.

Looking forward to photos of you with James :o)

Thanks, TT. I've posted a photo in my Photos & I've written a short blog with the photo included.

lovely pic ... hope you had a great xmas x

Season's Greetings, Cristina. :o)
Thanks..
I hope you are enjoying the holidays. x

Season's Greetings - A Happy New Year when it comes to you Terratoonie - we've maybe got a thaw on today, unless we get another dump of snow overnight! I could just about see grass after lunch... well nearly!

Conker is a pro..my bro's Mojo is just like him..but a terrier with a hat on...I would've said impossible especially at 2yo..they are usually wriggly puppies until they get MUCH older ..like 11 or 12! Amazing!! and totally gorgeous, my OH loved it too.

Hi Clematisa ...
Happy 2011 to you ...
Keep warm ... :o)

Hello Tetrarch ...
Yes ... Shelties are easy to teach ... but you are so right about trying to train a Smooth Fox Terrier ... especially a male ...;o)

Be assured that Truffle is still VERY lively ... in between the occasional sensible moment...lol.
I'm pleased your OH likes this also. :o)

oh that is lovely!! you have such well behaved and well trained dogs!!! they are beautiful

Thanks so much Sticki ..
I hope you had a lovely Christmas ...
... my wordsearch puzzle blog is ready and waiting for you when you get some spare time..LOL. ;o)

oh excellent, im looking forward to that ~ just as soon as i get a chance, thanks TT

:o) x

that looks realy cute

Hi Jackie..
thank you ...
I hope you had a lovely Christmas ..
Happy Gardening to you for 2011 ... :o)

Gorgeous photo Terra, I well remember you collecting Truffle, we had snow then as well, you pm`d to ask about the roads and snow conditions in our area, perhaps thats why he loves to eat it so much, he thinks he`s a snow baby,lol........

Thanks, Lincslass ...
I hope your dogs enjoyed the recent snow :o)

Yes ... Truffle is a definite snow baby ...
I'll never forget the worry ...
... would we be able to drive through miles of snowy roads to collect tiny puppy Truffle ? He travelled home on my lap in his furry little "igloo" ... he slept the whole way ...

... but, since then, he's certainly been very lively ;o)

Oh Bless! Truffle and Conker look so cute in their santa hats...lovely to see Conker looking in so well. :o)

Hi Sandra ...
Thanks ..
Conker, Truffle and Crocus send hugs to Perry :o)

THIS IS MY FAVORITE CHRSTMAS PICTURE ! !TANK YOU FOR YOUR GREETINGS .REGARDS TO ALL ! TANKS A LOT DAVID

Hello David ... Thank you ...
