Tonight we celebrate the first night of the festival of Hanukkah.
When I walked out of my office, Sofie was playing dreidel all by herself. “But Sofie,” I said, “Hanukkah doesn’t start until tonight.”
I bet you it was Mini Cooper who stole the gelt (candy) and the dreidel (top) from the Hanukkah table in the living room and gave them to Sofie (to get her in trouble).
Sofie was not exactly sure what to do with these new prizes, so she brought them to me (good girl!). Dogs don’t get chocolate gelt in this house!
On the first night of Hanukkah, we like to play the dreidel game. In the case of the dogs, we use bones instead of gelt. But someone seems to always spoil the game by running away with a dreidel and try to eat it.
DogDaz Zoo is sending you light and love this holiday season.
May each day bring you closer to your dreams.
Let the holiday games begin!
Just another DogDaz morning at the zoo ❤

Very interesting for a Christian European to hear about Hanukkah traditions! I have seen those dreidels (spinning tops are called Kreisel in German …), but never knew they were for Hanukkah.

Good girl, S. Always go to Mom when you’re not sure about something. After 652 guesses, moms can usually figure out the problem.
Love and licks,
