Our Secret Santa Gift is Here!
I am friend with a wonderful group of people online, all united by our passion for feeding our pooches a species appropriate diet. For the past year or so, we have held a Secret Santa gift exchange. Usually we host through Elfster.com, it is a really handy little site for organizing a Secret Santa. We were assigned our giftees a couple of weeks ago. "The boys" sent off their present already, and we are waiting (im)patiently for word that our giftee has received it. But today Gio and Romeo's present arrived from their Secret Santa! Judging by the postage address, I think I know who sent it. Unless our real Secret Santa was being crafty and filled in someone else's name on the custom's claim form thingy (is that legal?).
We've set our "opening date" for December 20th, so the boys have to wait a while before they get to see their presents.
Romeo's not very good at being patient ...
We're lucky that there was food cooking in the kitchen. With Gio guarding the stove (you know, to make sure supper doesn't run away), the package survived. If he had got ahold of it, we wouldn't have been able to wait until the 20th to open it. Romeo, though persistent, poses much less of a risk.

Gio CD RE (CKC) RXMCL (CARO) FM CGN SJATD HIC
Gio is a 8 year old over-sized sable Sheltie. He is my over-achiever, taking all expectations of him and stretching them to the extreme. He is retired from flyball due to poor health, but still enjoys competing in CARO Rally-O. He is a certified therapy dog with St. John Ambulance and loves visiting "his ladies" at various nursing homes in Saskatoon and area. He recently received his PEN from the CKC began competing in CKC obedience and Rally-O in fall of 2008. In his spare time, Gio enjoys tracking with his sniffer buddies, playing fetch or tug, and engaging Romeo in "Sheltie Wars".
CRS CanyonView Forever Romantic CD RE (CKC) RVMCL (CARO) FDX SJATD HIC
Romeo is a 3 year old tri-colored Sheltie. He's my little piggy, always diving in head first and fur flying. He currently competes in NAFA flyball, CARO Rally-O, CKC Rally-O, AAC agility, and CKC obedience, and is a certified therapy dog with St. John Ambulance. Romeo is always up for a game of fetch, wrestle, chase, "kitty", and, of course, "Sheltie Wars" with Gio. Everything this boy does has flare, and there is always a spring in his step. Romeo comes from CanyonView Shelties.
