Christmas Time Fun

I am finally back. Time has been going by so fast and by the time I think about putting pics on here, it has been too late to try to edit them to get them on. But I have some new pics of some events that have been going on in our house.
Trevor was so excited when I told him he could put candy canes on the tree-the fact that they had SpongeBob on them (along with some other Nickelodeon characters) made it even better! For some reason he clustered them all up a few times, then finally started spreading them out a little.
Trevor has become a little photographer. I cannot take the camera out without him thinking he needs to "take pishure mommy!" so here is a pic he took of the Christmas tree. Santa might be bringing him a kiddie-camera this year....

This is the picture I was going to send out in cards, but I didn't really have time to get them printed out before I needed to get my cards sent out. Maybe we will send out picture cards for Valentines day or something...and yes, you do see a pattern. Trevor is a nudist. He loves to undress himself, usually as soon as he gets out of bed and when we get home from somewhere he is peeling his clothes off.

We had a Christmas party on Friday night for Steve's work and Trevor was super excited when he saw this baby goat. Every time he caught a glimpse, he just had to pet him.


Trevor was even more excited when Santa rode into the building. He kept saying "Hi Santa!" over and over. He was waving so much and so hard that I thought his arm might fall off. When he got on Santa's lap, he said "Guitar please!"

We still have some Christmas crafts to do that will be really fun and messy and I will be sure to take pictures when we get around to doing them.
We have been having a good time and Trevor is getting smarter everyday. He is always surprising me with the things he says and does. He is still asking for Dakota occasionally and I just tell him that "Doggy is gone and is probably not coming home". I think that late next year we will get another dog...maybe that will be Trevor's Christmas present.

New Pics as Promised

Here are the pictures that I have promised. It is not much, but it's something.
Trevor was being nosey wanted to see the camera but wouldn't let me get a good picture of him, so this is what I ended up with...


For Thanksgiving dinner, I cooked almost all of the food and took it over to a friend's house. We had a pretty good day despite the fact that Dakota was missing. Here is Trevor in the middle of dinner.

This is Trevor and his friend Kirk enjoying dinner together. They ended up eating very little because there were so many kids there-7 in total.


SO....we still haven't found Dakota. I am really starting to think that someone found him and is keeping him or that he is dead. It has now been a week and I find it very hard to believe that he is still out roaming around. That being said, I am still looking for him. I have been checking in with the shelter, I placed my newspaper ad and the other classified ad. I am also going to make some newer bigger signs in the next couple of days.

Trevor misses him and is often heard saying "Doggy go?" and "Come home doggy" at random times throughout the day. We say "night-night, love you and come home soon" out the back door every night. I am going to get some pictures of Trevor and Dakota printed out and make a little book. That way Trevor will always have memories of his first dog. And if Dakota does end up back home, then Trevor will just have an extra book!

Sorry...

...I have totally checked out since Dakota went missing. I have a few pics to post and will get them up by tomorrow-I promise.
We still haven't found Dakota. I went to the shelter, called all the vets, and all the kennels in town. I posted an ad online our local news page. I posted an ad in the paper-today is the first day it will run and it will be in there for a week. And I am going to post an ad in the American classifieds too. I just pray that someone has him and just wasn't being proactive about finding out who he belonged to. Maybe they will see my ad and call.
I feel sick not knowing where he is. I told my dad last night that I want him home SOOO badly, but I would rather find out that he is dead than never know where he is. I just can't not know how he is doing. If someone has him, are they taking care of him? I keep asking God to just speak to me and let me know where he is....this is either a test or I'm not listening.

(You'll have to excuse the mess-this is what happens to my living room everyday!)
