Christmas up North...

We loaded up and took off on Thursday evening for our trip. Rain and fog extended our 7 hour drive to 8 and a half... we got into Penn State around midnight. We spent the night in Greg's family's condo (big Penn State fans!), before driving up to his grandma's house the next morning.

We spent two nights in small town PA with Greg's family. His parents and sister met us there, aunts and uncles also came and stayed. A jam packed house to entertain Ramsey but also the pressure of knowing anything he does wrong is going to get noticed! Originally, Grandma had set up a chair or two to keep Ramsey from the dining room. Luckily he stayed close to us because there was no way a kitchen chair was going to contain him anywhere! He worked his magic like usual, made her love him before sneaking off to the other room and taking over the house. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of Christmas in PA.... We did get a pretty nice gift certificate to the local pet store though! Upon going to the store we realized we have one spoiled pup (had everything we needed!). So... Rams got a nice choke collar and a rawhide for Christmas, ha. I'm sure that's what he asked Santa for.... We have yet to try it out though, maybe later today....

We then drove 3 more hours up to Syracuse on Christmas day and met my family at my aunt and uncles house. Again, Ramsey charmed and entertained and for the most part stayed out of trouble.

We got tons of goodies for Rams including: Rawhides wrapped in bacon, cheeseburger flavored treats, Pupperoni treats, a Holiday bandana, an awesome L.L.Bean tote, a doggie cookie jar...

Tired puppy taking over Greg's parents house during present opening... (Thanks to Greg's sister for this photo!)

I should have put his bandana on for this picture...

There's the bandana! And further evidence that Sunny taught Ramsey the chair sitting business...

Post Christmas we had almost a week to relax and play in NY. We saw our first snow and our first llama... ooooh small town, NY.

First Snow...

First Llama... Thank you Greg for this awesome photo!

A few days later he got a better taste of the white stuff!

Love this picture... ears flapping in the wind!

Woohooo! Mid wipe out!

Playing with Sunny!

Pretty girl!

Handsome boy!

What an awesome trip back north! A great holiday with our friends and families! Thank you Ramsey for being on (almost) your best behavior, traveling as well as you did, and providing constant entertainment to everyone who met you! Thank you to our families also for hosting us and our pup!

Now to start off the New Year by looking into obedience classes! Mission: Smart Dog underway!
