the miserable gardener 
Merry Christmas to you and The Guy You Live With, Mani. Thank you for another year of entertaining and enlightening posts from your home and garden!
Thanks; same to you. We’re staying home together this evening. The guy I live with has been feeling a little queasy, with all the vitamins he’s started taking. He said that happens, sometimes, when you stop, and then start again.
I would say that sidelong glance is very coy, almost flirtatious, but I suspect someone was holding something that drew your interest away from the weight on your head. Right? But a Merry treat filled Christmas to you and yours, Mani!
Thanks; same to you. No, I was really trying not to look at the camera. There was interesting stuff happening. Other dogs were barking; there were squirrels. Just standing there was kind of boring.
“Season’s Greetings,” is that what that look is meant to convey, dear Popular Host? Oh, so many emotions and thoughts might there be in your glance. Best wishes go out to you and the guy you live with. Thank you for sharing your days with us, and we look forward to happenings in the new year. (psst, vitamins render me queasy too, but the state soon passes.)
Thanks; same to you. The guy I live with said he was going to capture my charming photograph “Naughty? Or nice?” I thought that seemed rather judgmental. I hear the owls hooting …
Mani, you are adorable! Merry Christmas!
Thanks. Same to you.
I’m never sure “naughty” is a useful concepts, certainly not for the noble dog. I find vitamins right before bed are the least queasy-inducing for me……
Merry Merry!

Thanks. The guy I live with said he would get used to all the extra vitamins, eventually. And also that “naughty” is a word sometimes used around here.
You look dashing. My (not pure bread 3/4) border collie hated having his picture taken. I am wishing for health in 2019 for the Guy you Live with and you.
Thanks; same to you. I dislike having my picture taken. The guy I live with says I am extremely photogenic, but that doesn’t sway me at all.
You may say “Season’s Greetings,” but your face tells another story. It’s saying, “Get this thing off me!” Or “People are going to see this?”
My not-pure-bred Border Collie, Boo, loves having his picture taken, he sees a camera or a phone pointed his way, he hams it up. But, not in clothes or hats. He has an adorable Halloween t-shirt with his name, BOO!
Happy Holidays, and hope 2019 is good to you and the man you live with.
Thanks; same to you. The guy I live with said this picture was “cute”, and so it got posted instead of other pictures of me.
Happy holidays Mani. I could get used to the antlers but I think your own ears are much nicer.
Thanks; I pretty much agree, though people do seem to enjoy seeing me outfitted in holiday attire.
Oh my! How . . .
Whose idea was this?
The blog’s, really. Since December of 2012, anyway. https://paridevita.com/2012/12/24/making-a-list/
The blog’s? Well, what do you think of it?
The guy I live with said we need some continuity. Even at my expense.
Maybe you should kick his . . . . well, anyway, it is cute.
It’s continuity, and I hear that that is very important.
Well yes, it is. Continuity makes sense, even if it is . . . cute.
The guy I live with says there has to be at least some. Otherwise, it seems like we’re adrift.
