What is a dove,
But a pigeon
With higher aspirations.
May your new year be filled with
Hopes and dreams attained,
Peace and prosperity gained,
And may you be,
Nobody's pigeon.
First, this month's masthead is dedicated to the pigeon and the dove. We've made some resolutions and one of them is to take care of ourselves.
Next, we're back from partying hard for a week straight. Yes, I know that's an amusing segue. But we needed to cut lose and we have lots to tell. We'll start off with how we spent Saint Sylvestre (New Year's Eve).
Mr. Wild Dingo and I took two of our close friends who came out to visit us to a swanky establishment in Morges for a candle light dinner and dancing.
It was a 7 course meal that included an amuse-bouche, foie gras (pictured above), the most amazing risotto au lait de coco I ever did taste, salmon, veal and more.
It ended with this piece of art above. I almost didn't want to break into it. It tasted as good as it looked.
The place was totally decked out. We had a blast.
When we came home, we found these two had their own little celebration:
"Princess, what is that?"
"I think it's some sort of Amuse-bouche! You know, the hors-d'oeuvre served before the many other dishes of veal, salmon and foie gras that's surely going to come tonight?"
"Why don't you help me out big boy?"
"Cupcake, I'd like to save my appetite for the main course."
"Tastes like chicken, doesn't it?"
"My snooter tells me that there aren't any more dishes coming tonight."
"What? There's no other course than this silly string?"
"My bouche is no longer amused."
Meanwhile I made my own New Year's resolution:
To keep a tighter leash on Mr. Wild Dingo.
Big party for everybody. Love that fancy pants food. Almost too good to eat. NOT! Seems to me there is more than one cracker dog at your house.

Wishing you all a great new year filled with fun and adventures.

What? No shoes?? 🙂
Happy New Year, Wild Dingos! Can you ship some of those desserts to L.A. please?
Cracker dogs!!! Mr. Wild Dingo doesn't appear to be complaining about the leash. (Ooooh. I could SO go places with that comment, but I think I'll spare everyone ;-)) Happy New Year! Have you gone snowshoeing yet? (Pictures, we want pictures!!!)
-Dr. Liz (the girls are sitting on the porch in the sun and snow in 10 degree temps - yes, they are crazy)
Happy New Year to you too! You and the dogs are party animals!
While your food looks very delicious, I have to say that I think Juno and Loki look like they had more fun!

Sounds like you guys had a great night!
Um, yeah, I'd have admired that dessert for a moment and then dug in, too!
Happy New Year!
Mmmm Sounds like a delicious dinner!
Love the streamer pictures! Such good sports! I threw streamers at Darwin and she ran away!
What a wonderful time you had! We must say that you and Mr. Dingo look so happy and beautiful in that photo. Wishes to all of you for a wonderful year.

Juno and Loki like the definition of party animals!
Pigeons get such a bad rap. They are perfectly nice, very successful birds. Abby likes them fricasseed. Looks like the Danskos survived the new year, so there goes our shot at a box of Swiss chocolates. Juno, we have to tell you we are disappointed. Messing around with streamers when there were perfectly good Danskos in need of rending. Ah, well, c'est la vie.
Good luck with your new year's resolutions. Mama doesn't make those any more, which she finds improves her spirits considerably.
Jed & Abby
Pastel is just not Loki's color, but on Mr. WD it looks good.
Juno and Loki have such expressive eyes.
Wishing you all a very happy, healthy and prosperous New Year! Looks like you all have a fabulous time!
