This turned out to be a busy christmas season for Lola and her parents.... Lots of friends, family, good food, treats, toys, and it's not even the new year yet!
Before Lola was ready to say goodbye to 2010 and celebrate the holiday season, she insisted on going in for her 6 month dental checkup.
 |
| waiting rooms don't apply to Lola. She cozies up on the floor and waits her turn... |
 |
| Being that dentistry runs in the family, she took a look at Ashley before her checkup |
Before her turn in the chair, Lola had to see just how the water tasted, and how the suction worked. Everything must be up to dog standards before the exam!
 |
| Lola was nervous that she would get something on her beautiful coat, so she asked her granddad to put a bib on her first... |
 |
| even though she was cavity-free, Lola wasn't too sure how she felt about her visit... |
|
|
After her exam, Lola was officially ready to celebrate the holiday season. She spent some quality time at her grandparents house in Fredericksburg opening gifts and playing with family.
 |
| Ashley feeling a bit left out... |
 |
| It doesn't matter where he hides.... Lola's fox isn't safe anywhere!!! |
 |
| Lola opening presents |
 |
| sometimes it's hard to choose which present to play with |
 |
| Of course as much fun as it is to play, it's even better to take time out and cuddle with her grandfather |
 |
| even Ashley gets some gifts |
 |
| which toy will she choose?!?!?!?! |
 |
| and the winner is...... |
 |
| quiet time with grand-dad |
|
|
After a short stay, Lola packed up her warm clothes, and headed to snow country.... onward to Christmas in New York!
 |
| snow puppy gets her first taste of snow! |
 |
| Lola's cousin Kopek tried her hardest to hide from her in the snow, but she couldn't quite fit underneath! |
 |
| lola decided that this vacation was a good time to start growing her snowstache and snowbeard |
 |
| every cold dog deserves a break on mom's lap |
 |
| brother and sister, and dog cousins |
 |
| no trip to the tundra would be complete without some stops indoors to warm up and pick out treats |
 |
| Ash and Lola listening to the characters from Dicken's Christmas in Skaneatelas |
 |
| no friend is too big or too small for lola! |
 |
| back at the house, preparations were being made for christmas dinner |
 |
| no dogs allowed in the kitchen?!?!?!?! |
 |
| everyone was in attendance for the reading of The Night Before Christmas |
 |
| The stockings were hung.... on the railing with care.... and by the looks of it you'd think the Brady Bunch lived here! |
Lola stayed up as late as she possibly could dreaming of St. Nick, and hoping he'd come, and sure enough when she awoke, there was a stocking waiting outside the door!!!
 |
| Lola asked Ash to help open it up |
 |
| Lola waiting patiently |
 |
| I said there was no way that Lola could take a good picture, but she proved me wrong by snapping this one as we all ran downstairs to see what santa left for us under the tree! |
 |
| no seat is better suited for ashley than right in front of the fireplace! |
 |
| the queen in her throne |
 |
| Kopek kicked caitlin out of her bed, so lola agreed to let her crash temporarily |
 |
| payment accepted in belly-rubs |
 |
| the closest thing to friends without actually liking each other! |
 |
| after Lola tried to play with kopek, she retreated to the bedroom and quietlky wished for caitlin and chris to come back |
There's always time for some Ashley and Lola cuddling
And now I present.... THE SNOW BEAST!
