By the end of December, Sesame settled into my home nicely. December was a little difficult as Sesame picked up a mild case of kennel cough, so he was confined to my home and backyard for 10 days. Immediately after that, I caught a cold, so we were both at home for the next week or so. We spent some time decorating the house for Christmas. Sesame was curious about the Christmas tree and sniffed a few ornaments but nothing more. I was very impressed with his behaviour as I have Christmas decorations throughout the house and several on the floor. After establishing that they were NOT his toys, he left them all alone.
After we were both clear of coughing, we spent some time on adventure walks in the neighbourhood and shopping to get ready for Christmas. My daughter, her husband, my grandchildren and their dog came over for Christmas Eve, and Sesame had a lot of fun with their dog. The grandchildren had a sleepover on New Year’s Eve, and Sesame enjoyed spending time with them.
