You guys I am so pumped, I have been waiting months for this day and it’s finally here – it’s Pittie Posse Secret Santa reveal day!
If you recall, the Pittie Posse Secret Santa gift exchange is the brainchild of Emily at Our Waldo Bungie. This is the second year for the PPSS, but my first year in The Posse. (#finallyoneofthecoolkids) I have actually had my gift ready to go for a super long time because I was so stinkin’ excited! For the last couple weeks, I’ve been checking the mailbox obsessively every day, sometimes twice a day. Finally one day last week, I got a super-duper special package. Drumroll please…..our Pittie Posse Secret Santa iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis…..Chocko from Pittieful Love!
(Fess up people, who did I fool on Facebook last night? Nope, it wasn’t Cooper wearing his Tiennot Sweater I was talking about, read on to find out what I was referring to…)
I hear that Chocko’s person, Jess, actually helped him pick out our goodies. I’m not questioning Chocko’s good taste, but our thoughtful gift definitely had some female influence. First out of the package was this pawsome magnet:
Words cannot even express how much I love this. In this crazy world of rescue, it’s so easy to get discouraged. Especially when you come face to face with unimaginable abuse and suffering. But then, just when you think you’ve seen just about all you can handle, you get a reminder like this that there are other amazingly wonderful like-minded people in our community, and we’re all here to support each other. Seriously, love.
What Jess and Chocko didn’t know was that last year, my amazing hilarious sister sent me this…
…and this:
So my new magnet fit right in with my other dog-themed paraphernalia on my fridge!
As much as I love the magnet, I could not get over how thoughtful the second half of my gift was – a beautiful necklace from Dog Park Publishing!
Seriously, how adorable is that? I’ve been wearing it all week to volunteer with the Operation Broken Chain pups and have gotten tons of compliments. Doesn’t it look great with my volunteer t-shirt?
Jess and Chocko, thank you so so so much for the thoughtful gifts, I absolutely love them! And that you Emily and the rest of the Pittie Posse for including us in this year’s gift exchange, we’ve had a total blast. Now dear readers, head over to Two Pitties in the City to see what goodies Foster House sent to E, A, M & B. And don’t forget to check out the rest of the Pittie Posse to see everyone else’s holiday swag!
We’ll be taking some time off from the blog to celebrate and enjoy the holidays with family, friends, and of course the pooches. Well, that’s the plan anyway, if anything super awesome, hilarious or exciting happens we’ll be sure to let you guys know. Everyone have a great rest of the year, and we’ll see you in 2013!
We wish you all a Joyous Christmakwanzukah, Merry Festivus, and Happy New Year from Foster House!

I love seeing everyone’s most perfect gifts! And thank you so much for ours! At least a couple of times a day I have to go over and stare at the ornament because I’m in awe of how well she captured them. And the pups (Miss M!) were mighty pleased with all of the treats. She keeps asking for more every day. Have a good holiday!
