We visited family, had family come to the house and enjoyed the time spent with all. Below is a group shot of our Yorkies....4 generations of "Waterside Yorkies". I'll introduce them so the new readers will know who's who. 
On the right is Zoe, our senior Yorkie and great-granddog. She's 13 years young and going strong. She loves to come visit us, she lives with my wife's mom, they keep each other company.Next to Zoe is Carly, her granddaughter, who is 4 years old and the wild one of the bunch. She gave us our last litter of pups this past spring, 5 puppies out of her little 4.5 pound frame...she was a excellent mommy. Beside her is Tinkerbell, Carly's daughter from her first litter, who is 2 years old and acts like a puppy...silly little dog, but we love her. She is truely the baby of the family, yet can hold her own with the older Yorkies. And finally, is our only male Yorkie and the King of the house...Shiloh, who is 6 years old and the protector of the house. Even with a alarm system we feel more safe since no one can come within a mile of the house without Shiloh hearing them and barking. He is our true Yorkie lap dog and everyone who visits loves him to death. So this is our "Waterside Yorkies" group shot of 2009, 4 generations of Yorkshire Terrier love, our "Herd of Yorkies".
We also got to spend a bunch of time with our non-fur babies....Maddy came to visit Nana and Pawpaw. She has grown into a very beautiful young lady, and at 4 months is already turning the boys heads. We love her "That Girl" hair...and her smile still melts my heart and always will. I see my mom in her eyes and on her face...Matt's Memaw would have loved this little girl and is watching over her from Heaven I know. We look forward to spring and watching her start to walk around.
We also got to see our grandson, Ryder, who just turned 1 not too long ago. He has grown so much this past year. Walking, talking and running the house...he's moved into the next daycare room and I believe will be a politician...always wanting to meet and greet everyone he see's.
Opening gifts is very tiring, he had to have a snack to keep the motor running strong. This spring will be a very fun time for us, we will enjoy watching and playing with both of our grandkids. After all, we are just kids ourselves...well we think so.
So we survived the holidays, enjoyed the holidays and hope yours were special too. And as I sit with the Yorkies I reflect on what a wonderful time we all spent together.
Oh, yeah...did you heart a big thud not too long ago....guess who fell over Tinkerbell and hurt his foot....2 guesses and it wasn't Nana...yep the big guy got tripped up by the littliest Yorkie in the house. She's only 3 pounds but she took me down fast..like a tree falling...with a loud thud at the end...like the old Roadrunner cartoons except I didn't have a small umbrella to break my fall.

Yes Carly I know I have a large black object on my left foot...it's a gift from your daughter..and no I'm not going to press charges...she didn't mean to trip me up. She just has to learn not to run between our feet when we come into a room, any room, but she acts like we have been gone for years. She loves us so much...a very big heart in a 3 pound dog.
So that's my first update for 2010...I will be alright...just need to left it heal and soon I will be chasing the grandkids and the furkids again. Thanks for stopping by and remember to hug your dog and tell them you love them..they feel our love as much as we feel theirs..Happy New Year and please come back and visit again real soon.
