Happy Holidays! 5

We spent Christmas with my in-laws, including Brad’s aunt and cousin that live in the area.  We had great food, and then a great time opening presents.  I got to open twice the presents because Brad was too weak to hold and open presents.  So I got to open all of his presents, too!  I am most excited with my Harry Potter Hufflepuff cloak!  It is awesome and I plan to wear it to NAMI tomorrow.

I also got a reversible wrap that is so comfy and warm.  My mother in law really knows me!  She even got me/Hestia a new service dog bandana!  It is yellow and green, PSDP colors, and it says “service dog Hestia” on the front on a black strip on the green layer.  Then you can lift up the green layer to the yellow layer which has contact info if we get separated.  I LOVE it!

I also got CIRCUS PEANUTS!  I love circus peanuts.  If you haven’t had them they are orange candy shaped like a peanut with banana flavoring.  They are soooooooooooo good.

We also got a present from a Canadian friend which is a cheerleader outfit for Hestia.  It is super cute!  I’ll cut to the chase and post pictures now, with descriptions for my blind and low vision friends.  To see all the pictures, click here:

Hestia is a small black and white Japanese Chin wearing a red and white holiday dress. Rocco is a terrier mix wearing a headband with two santas on it!

This is the outside of Hestia’s new bandana. It says “Service Dog Hestia” on black ribbon across a green bandana. You can see a yellow layer peeking through underneath.

This is the inside to the bandana, it has emergency contact information on it in green, and the material is yellow.

Veronica wearing a long black cloak from Hufflepuff house in Harry Potter! Hufflepuff’s colors are black and yellow, so the cape is black and the lining of the sleeves and hood is yellow.

Another shot of Hestia’s new bandana, this time from the front.

Hestia wearing her Hufflepuff vest with a Hufflepuff spatula that a good friend gave me. She looks proud like she thinks she has a wand now, too!
