It wouldn’t be Christmas without a Georgie story. This time of year has the usual celebrations and a family birthday besides. We have always celebrated two occasions, never wanting to make a birthday blend with the Christmas festivities. Of course Georgie, the golden retriever, is in the middle of every celebration.
Many of our activities with the grandkids are done on couches and coffee tables or on the floor. Whatever games we play, Georgie is there. Everyone must reach around or over the dog. That dog thinks she’s human.
Presents were opened as we sat around on the floor and you know who was in the centre. She had a sniff at the packages before they were opened. Georgie knew about the scented candles and the bath bombs long before we did.
Decorating the tree was an experience. Our grandchildren worked at the decorations, reaching in over the dog much of the time to place the decorations on the tree. She wanted to be there with them and they took it for granted that she was.
We thought Georgie would enjoy some of the Christmas headwear but she didn’t look too pleased and quickly had it off her head, running her paw over her head to dislodge it.
This is one tradition she doesn’t enjoy and we won’t make her suffer the indignity again.
That dog!

What a sweetheart she is! I love all the Georgie stories, even when she looks embarrassed as in that last photo. :-)
That wonderful dog!
Georgie is an integral part of the family alright!
A dog with good taste.
Sounds like a fun day.
Of course she is part of it. You (and she) wouldn't have it any other way.
Jazz too thinks he is human. An underprivileged human.
:)))
That dog knows she is loved!! We can tell...
I can appreciate why Georgie wouldn't like that.
I am with, Georgie. Don't expect me to put that stuff on my head.
Perfect Christmas ... have to have a dog!
Dogs are such great companions to 'man.' We don't deserve them!
awww, the headwear is cute but clearly not for georgie!! the picture of the grands is precious!!!
Ohh Georgie is so cute!! Looks like a happy dog! I see the children decorating the tree on 1st photo. These are happy and wonderful times!
The last picture of Georgie tells it all. "Just leave me alone … and let me be a human!"
Your Georgie is wonderful. I love goldens and Georgie reminds me of my Megan.
Such a fabulous photo of Georgie, but I am not surprised she did not approve LOL. Happy 2020, Diane
Georgie certainly makes a wonderful member of the family. The children must love having her "help" them!
Your header photos is wonderful...wanted to tell that before I say anything else. Georgie is a lucky dog, but I think you guys are lucky to have her, too.
Hello,
Love sweet Georgie, adorable photos. I hope you and your family had a very happy Christmas! I wish you and your family all the best in 2020, Happy New Year! Have a happy day and new week ahead!
Georgie is a sweetheart. It warms my heart every single time I see pets being treated so well. She truly is a family member.
It is such fun to have a dog, they make a house a home! I love Georgie's antics, what a sweet girl she is! Happy New Year to you :)
Pets are great! We are a cat household, rather than a dog one, but it's much the same!

Just like our George! Always in the middle/way!
i remember when we had cat back in village ,we would try to cap her head out of sympathy in winters but she would resist and took it off :)
