Holiday Shepherds

”Are you serious? You say it’s “Valentine’s Day? That’s why you made me wear these stupid glasses!? How dare you!!!!


Koda Web

Koda has his own winter coat if it gets too cold, His bright red scarf is simply beautiful; He was told! He’s our Christmas delight all wrapped into one, And those joys still go on when Christmas is done!

Oh Christmas tree; it’s time to celebrate,
It’s Stunner, and Koda’s time to decorate.
Their tree will glitter, glisten, gleam and glow,
Oh Christmas tree, we love you so!
They’ll hang everything on this tree,
Ornaments big and bright!
With many sparkling icicles and twirling shepherds white.

Beautiful snowflakes all dressed in ice white.
Two unique faces a most unusual sight.
Snowflakes so different but slightly the same,
Familiar white faces, what are your names? 

Oh yes, we know who you might be,
Silly to not recognize such faces we see.
Gazing at two snowflakes, you come to mind,
Just like any snowflake you’re one of a kind! 

 Stunning snowflakes sitting next to each other,
Two white faces could be sister and brother.
Like fragile snowflakes, you came from up above,
Blessed with your glitter beauty; and sparkling love. 

No two alike; creating this frosty design,
Beautiful German shepherds that are all mine!
You did not fool us for we know that white hair,
It’s Koda and Stunner with flicker and flair!

Koda can even make the pumpkin’s smile!

Lobo would do anything for us. The hat and scarf custom made by Muriel Sater. The boots were hers. The felt coal pieces on his chest, real sticks and felt nose piece were taped on. Lobo got much praise for this take and special treats.
