I would probably join in.
This is the first year, in a long time, that we will only have one pet at Christmas.
Reagan is a black lab mix, rescue. He is 7 years old. And is quite the lovable pain in the rear.
He jumps, barks and makes a general nuisance of himself when someone walks in the door. But he is really just happy to see everyone. He is very insecure and wants to be with people as much as possibe. He is very loving and is the best in the house at figuring out when I am not feeling my best.
