Happy New Year 2009

Last night was my first experience of welcoming in the New Year in the Netherlands. I had thought that it would be a quiet night with me and my humans. How wrong I was. The Dutch celebrate the occasion with a ‘big bang’ and there were fireworks going off everywhere. Here’s a short video of me admiring the booti-ful spectacle. (The quality is not that fantastic but it’s still watchable).

I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year. Woof!

Homer's Happy Christmas

It’s Christmas day everybody! I’ve had a great day and I just wanted to share some of my festive photos with you.

I’ve received a few more cards since I last blogged (Thanks again!) Here’s the final display above the fireplace. On the bottom are my humans’ cards. (Tsk! Pathetic!)

Whilst preparing the Christmas lunch, we came across some weird looking vegetables. Look at this carrot!

Look at the booti-ful turkey which Missus cooked for us.




Man, I couldn’t wait to get my fangs into that bird. Droooooool... I spent the whole morning in the kitchen worshipping the ‘Turkey God’.





Here’s a snap of our Christmas lunch. It was booti-ful...

... and here’s my helping. (It doesn’t look much, but I had four servings!)

After lunch, we opened our presents. Here’s a photo of me with all of the gifts under the Christmas tree.

I got Dad a new hat. I should have known that Missus would make me wear it for a photo–opportunity.

Look at all my presents. They were great and I was so happy!

I even got some special doggy Christmas bonbons.

Merry Christmas everybody. Lots of love and waggy tails from Homer!

My Christmas Cards

Wow, I feel so popular. For the past couple of weeks, I have been receiving Christmas cards from my doggie friends all over the world.

Here’s a sample from my post bag.

Missus has put my cards on display above the fireplace. They look so booti-ful!

Here’s a close-up. So far, I have received about 50 cards and I love every one of them.

I just want to say a big thank you to all the doggies who have been kind enough to remember me in their Christmas thoughts. It’s been a pleasure to receive every one of your cards.
