To spiff up the background for our Christmas cardĀ Eko and I took a visit to a garden center a few miles north of us. Well, first I took Eko for a walk to relieve himself because I didn’t want to ruin Christmas by bringing Eko into a forest with a full tank.
The nose knows, so I let Eko lead the way and sniff out the best tree
Eko dove headfirst into the job of finding us a tree
We found one tree that was too big, one too small and then one that was just right
I did the heavy lifting and Eko acted asĀ management. Ā Somehow this is how Ā the jobs always seem to get divided between us
Eko checked our stand for any leaksĀ
Teamwork: I tightened the stand and Eko stuck his head in the middle of the tree. Ā Both were critical to our success…says Eko at least
Boom, we’re in business! Ā Now we just have to wait for the tree to soak up some water and then we can set up lights and have the perfect backdrop for our Christmas card. Ā If you haven’t picked up a tree yet, I highly recommend bringing your pup with you. Ā The customers and employees both got a kick out of Eko weaving through the trees and Eko obviously had a blast.
For our next trick we will hopefully keep Eko from knocking the tree over!
We’re with Eko on the management requirement – humans need that slight nudge to get it right. A Christmas card is a very important moment after all and all the props have to be just so š
…ahmmm Eko have you signed all the trees in the garden center?
I love how in the last picture it looks like you and Eko are wearing the same shirt! hahaha
What fun! It’s times like these that I wish that I wasn’t Jewish lol
Eko looks like a great helper!
It’s always a plus, having a canine unit in tow to supervise. I never leave home without the boss. (Bud, my shelter dog)
That tree lot had some gorgeous looking loot. Glad to see Eko’s feeling better, I love the tree stand inspection…cute.
Will–Love seeing that Eko gets to help pick out the family Christmas tree. My husband I have made it a tradition to bring our two black labs, Jasmine Tiana, with us to help get the Christmas tree. They love it!
That looks fun! And Eko picked a really good tree š I bet he is going to have so much fun decorating!
I can’t stop laughing at that last photo. Your blog is always a fun place to be.
