And this is a happy tail/tale:
"A Nativity Scene was erected in a church yard.
During the night the folks came across this scene.
An abandoned dog was looking for a comfortable, protected place to sleep.
He chose baby Jesus as his comfort.
No one had the heart to send him away so he was there all night.
We should all have the good sense of this dog and curl up in Jesus' lap from time to time.
The dog breed is a "shepherd!"
I don't know if this is true or not in the literal sense. But it is definitely true in the most important sense.

Hi Sandie....Checking into your blog was a great way to start my day.
Loved the doggie in the manger. Loved the singers in the mall. I'd like to participate in one of those! What fun.
Hope your Tuesday is terrific. Susan
Aww, that was a great video. I love watching stuff like that, though kind of makes me wish something cool like that would happen around here.
Poor little elves - I hope they're up and about soon!

I'm thinking by Christmas day he'll be very much on the mend.
Love the little dog in the manger story!
Love your blog. You say so much with so few words.

May your elves get well soon. The picture of the dog with baby Jesus is so sweet. I hope the dog found a home. Loved the clip.
Super quick healing to the elves! The pic of the dog in the manger was passing around the internet last year. Loved it then, love it now!
Oh Kiddo, I hope he doesn't have what's going on up here...my MIL has had a cough/cold for 6wks; Joe had it for 3wks; I've remianed healthy so far. I'm sure someone helped that little shepherd!..:)JP

Such a sweet and smart pup. I'm hoping he found he way home.

Hi Sandie, sure hope your little elves are feeling better soon! Your grandson is a cutie.
The sweet dog sleeping in the manger sure tugged at my heart strings. How precious that he knew a safe place for him to sleep! We are all safe in the arms of Jesus, aren't we?
Take care,
Cheryl
Hi Sandie,
Sorry to hear the tale/tail of your two sick little elves. I sure hope they both feel better soon. I love the photo! Your pooch is so-oo cute :)
What a wonderful story of the shepherd dog choosing Jesus as comfort. I'd love to share this story! if that's okay with you?
Great thought for the day too! Lots to ponder.
Hope your day is special!
Hope he is feeling better soon. I love the dog sleeping with Jesus.
I just saw something on the news tonight about how dogs can catch the flu from us (I think). Anyway, I hope they both make a speedy recovery.
Oh, it's no fun being sick around the holidays. Wishing your two little ones better health soon! :)
Hope your two elves are feeling much better today!! Love that photo of the shepherd in Jesus' manger. I hope someone found him a good home like Disco has. ;) blessings ~ tanna
OK, the photo of GS and Nurse Disco is just too cute. There are few things more comforting when you're not feeling good than a cup of Campbell's soup (yes, I noticed that) and a warm puppy...with a Santa hat.
The other photo was precious. Yes, there is no better place to curl up than at the feet of Jesus.
I stumbled across your blog today and I am so thankful I did! What a heartwarming post. The story about the homeless dog sleeping in the manger is priceless. I pray he got a good home!! Thanks for warming my heart!
It's just that time of year. My oldest elf has a cold and we're doing everything we can to keep from catching it.
I bought our manger scene when we lived in Italy. Our first cat used to climb in and sleep on top of Mary, Joseph, and Jesus. It never looked very comfortable to me. She would be right on top of them. That dog kind of reminded me of Poco.
I'd love to be somewhere when one of those flash mobs start singing. It must be something to see and hear in person.
Have you heard about the flash robberies? Yes, they all arrive at a store at the same time and start stealing things off the shelves. They're in and out in seconds and it's difficult to stop or catch them. What is wrong with people?
