Merry Christmas

May your Christmas be Merry and Bright,

and all the best for the 

New Year!!!

Christmas Cookie

This is an adorable Newfoundland puppy who's photos I found on the internet. His name is Hersheybear. He makes me think of a giant sweet Gingerbred Cookie, or a Cinnamon Chocolate Cake dusted with powdered sugar. He is my Christmas inspiration, that which brings the joys  of Christmas home by the warm fireplace decorated with colorful Christmas stockings and twinklie lights. Look, there's Santa and his sleigh! Is he bringing me a Christmas ginger-chocolate-cinnamon bear-puppy dusted with powdered sugar? I hope so!! Maybe he will bring you one too!!

The Newfoundland Pony

Newfoundland, a cold and rugged land with rocky terrain, surrounded by a rough and frigid sea, not only brought us the Newfoundland Dog, but a gorgeous little pony, a hard working animal with a gentle and sweet temperament like the Newfoundland Dog. Also equipped with a dense long coat to defend against the severe winter weather, it was a hearty companion to the Newfoundlander farmers. Not needed as much now for work, the little pony is becoming known more as a rare breed. It would be great if the residents of Napa would rescue some of these sweet and friendly ponies to compliment their grazing land and Newfoundland Dog breeding kennels!
