This has been a special holiday season for many reasons, starting with the large serving of holiday cheer our senior dog Cleo gave us. As you see here, she still wants to wear her festive scarf on walks.

Another reason this time is extra special, our Cleo is still with us. Earlier this year and a couple moments this summer we weren't so sure she'd still be here for the holidays.

I'm off now to lead Cleo around the block so she can release more holiday cheer with a few neighborhood kids and others.
