Merry Christams

I hope everyone has a merry Christmas today, or great Saturday depending on your point of view. Zoe and I plan to have a quiet day on the boat, punctuated by a couple long walks around City Island. She'll get a few extra treats today, but I'm sure she doesn't even realize it's Saturday, much less Christmas. In fact, every time she gets a treat, she acts like it's the first one she's ever gotten.

I took off her fleece last night brushed her coat. With the extra heater keeping the cabin warm, high 60's, she doesn't need it as much now. She still needs a bath, but her coat really grew in this winter -- she looks like a little bear.

Wes, one of the owners of the yard, has a bunch of cats that live in and around the office. They don't seem to cotton too much to Zoe, but she's sure interested in them. They don't run, but I don't let her chase them either. She's used to cats, but can't resist chasing them if they run.
