It's finally happened. I always knew I would be, "The Crazy
Lady" and I've finally found my specialty. Introducing: The Crazy Dog Lady (formerly known as Kate). This is Hamilton: latest addition to the Brickley household of 302 N. Cleveland St.:

Hamilton is a 2 yr. old mutt (vet thinks Catahoula Leopard dog or Rhodesian Ridgeback). He is a 65lb lap-dog who loves to go on long walks and give tons and tons of kisses. I can't wait for everyone to meet him! He and Sugar get along splendidly, and I believe both like eachother more than they'd ever admit. I've caught them spooning once, and they like to give eachother quick kisses in passing.
OK, so before I get going about Hamilton (which as Dad knows can lead to some pretty extensive conversations about normal dog behavior...) MERRY CHRISTMAS! I hope everyone is getting excited for the holiday. Bummy, don't get too excited, because as I was typing that I realized I haven't mailed your gift yet....I'm sorry! I got so self satisfied for having gotten in a month in advance that I forgot that tiny detail. I'll put it in the mail tomorrow....
I'm getting excited for Christmas, and plans are constantly evolving. They will involve a stint in Richmond with Paul's family, a visit up to Ashburn that may or may not include a trip to Christopher's Dad's house, and a trip to the Outer Banks to a friend's beach house for Paul's birthday on the 28th. See a picture of my Christmas tree below:

More later, Sugar is dribbling on the floor as I type....
Love to everyone and Merry Christmas!!!!
