The weather outside is frightful...

Well, not frightful, exactly.  But we do have a cold snap in place.  Good soup weather.  In fact, after a long day, we had the end of the vegetable beef soup I fixed last week along with grilled cheese and bacon sandwiches.

The tree is finally up.

And, the pup's bed

is exactly where it was before we began today.  He walked around with a really worried look on his face all day long because I had moved it to an area just inside the front door.  I think he thought it might be going out with the next person to ring the doorbell.  He seemed very relieved to see it go back in place.

He's not to crazy about having the ceramic puppies and "Schultz" so close, but he finally relaxed....

Really relaxed.

Happy puppy again.  Exhausted by all the supervising he had to do today to be sure we didn't forget who rules the roost around here.
