T'was The Night Before Christmas.....


Well its the day before and at least all has been quiet here at Massie Lodge, so much so that we decided to take off into Allora to find a pub open for Christmas Eve lunch so that we could have a few quiet drinks and sit and relax.

All the Massie Lodge residents geared themselves up today for their yearly Christmas photos to send to their owners (lol, it reminded me of when I was in school and every year you had those dreaded class photos, yuk!) and we're happy to announce that all residents were very willing to partake in this year's photos except for Trousers and Joie who were too busy down in the dam to make the effort. Oh, not forgetting Vera who swiftly told Evan to "move on...." (but not in those words) and that there was NO WAY that she would lower herself to be pictured in a funny red hat!!

However, in saying that, all the other young residents were more than happy to accommodate, except for Maxwell who didnt DO Santa hats and resolved to wear some silver tinsel instead!!

I think the Massie Lodge Award for Cuteness in a Santa Hat must go to Bessie Merle (Pictured above), who is just too cute for words and more than accommodating in wearing the hat! Runner Up goes to the Dirty Girl who just looked a picture in her bow and hat! Best Behaved Santa goes to Oscar, who was just a very good boy. The Massie Lodge Award for Mischief whilst Wearing Christmas Decorations must go to Maxwell, who thought that the silver tinsel looked appetising and wanted to lick it. AAArgh!

Well its nearly that Day again, a day that should be spent with family and enjoying their company, .... We shall be spending Christmas Day with our next door neighbours, Jo and Leo Roche who have seen us through all the good and bad times this year. Joining us also will be Monika, our vet, who has become a good friend to us.

Once again, we would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a safe and joyous 2007 filled with peace, harmony and many winners.

Helen & Evan.
