Merry Christmas from the Singing Dogs [VIDEOS]

Merry Christmas everyone! We all hope you are having a nice vacation (hopefully you are on vacation) and enjoying time with family, friends, and of course your pets.

The Singing Dogs love Christmas time as they get to hear and sing to their favorite Christmas songs. Here are some Christmas songs that we've recorded that I am sure all of you will enjoy.

O Christmas Tree

Silent Night

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

Santa Claus is Coming to Town

We hope you enjoyed all of our Christmas music videos. If you have a Christmas song request or enjoyed our videos please leave a comment below and let us know. Cody and Sierra love hearing from our fans.

We wish everyone a Merry Christmas.

Cody and Sierra sitting on a Stone Wall [Picture]

Yesterday I posted a fun picture of Cody and Sierra when Sierra was a puppy. The picture showed just how hard it is for older dogs when adding a puppy to the family.

Since that picture was bit high energy I thought I'd share this calm picture.

Sierra took cues from Cody and wanted to be with him when he was keeping a “lookout” over the yard and house. I like how in the picture she is next time him and looking the other way. She also liked to cuddle with Cody when he was napping outside. Unsure if he was happy about that. Of course we thought it was cute and funny that she was following around her big brother just like a little sister would.

Having a puppy is fun, but it's nice when a dog grows up and there are no more “messes” in the house. Do you think everyone loves puppies?
