just saying just saying opie loves dogs tara puts up with some dogs so uh we'll see we'll see i got
some cleanup to do tomorrow i'm leaving this particular spot to go do something different so
i'll start with clean up and start putting everything away getting the slides all ready
and by that time it'll be time for a christmas dinner out here in the desert i actually brought
both tara and opie out separately in the stroller to mingle with the group over here to help
socialize i mean tara has been working on this for a while but uh having opie out there he just loves
everyone he's just a very sociable person and he does okay with dogs so far i mean he did first
hiss at uh tucker when he first saw him he hissed at uh banjo as well but um he's getting better so
david's wife prepared this amazing home-cooked meal for everyone here at our little campsite
within a nice little spread ham stuffing mashed potatoes fresh baked bread and of course we had
an awesome time for christmas and then there was even dessert as well with some pies dutch apple
pie and everything i'm very very thankful for all her amazing hard work putting that together and
with cleanup and everything for everyone here so uh it's been a really nice christmas out here in
the desert you wouldn't think it'd be this great but i will probably do it again next year yeah
but sadly i will waste no time at all taking down my camper van kevin painter's tape christmas tree
uh i got some other lights on the other side gotta put my wreath back away and i gotta break down
the christmas tree inside uh pack everything away under the bed until next year once again
and that'll free up some space inside also i'll show you the finished product here at the end
of the night all right still a work in progress here opie has not stopped playing since he started
opening all these i'm just kind of sorting through a few things uh making sure what they like i gotta
get their callers and leashes i gotta get their id tags put on their new collars here as you can see
christmas tree is already down and i have the step stool that goes in front of that so we can
use that now it goes on and then it's an easier step transition into the automatic litter box
there that's gonna be its new home when it's not christmas so yeah um i think it's time
to show this a friend sent this to me it's the bolt automatic laser toy um i turned it on just
to make sure it works and as you can see tara's already looking for it uh but you push a button
on the back right here and then it you're looking in the wrong place it's on the ground
tara look it's it goes all over the place i'm gonna stand in front of it actually i'm gonna dim
a couple lights i'm gonna turn a couple of these guys off here and then we'll flip back around
that's the lazy man's laser toy there and it's very random good job tara you got it for a second
um opie it's she's not she's looking for the
pointer it anyway it makes a little bit of a motor noise and uh
i don't know that way i could i could just turn that on and then i can go work
right i can get some stuff done and maybe the kitties will be entertained it's right there
guys no it's you don't mess with this you mess with it on the ground there you go tara
not bad right no not a bad little toy i also have my own laser pointer i've got this one here
a little green one this one's a lot of work cause i gotta do it myself
you know although tara's used to the green one she's not used to the red one the red one's new
