About a week before Christmas, puppy and I went to my mother's in Northern Virginia. We *massively* lucked out with my mom's new neighbors. An older couple -- kids grown and away -- moved in across the street with their incredibly sweet, year-and-a-half-old Border Collie Bruno. They also have a fenced-in yard.
Another pup + 25 meters away + huge enclosed space = triple-plus fantastic! The two of them had a number of rollicking play-sessions.
We also got a visit from our Chicago human friends Chris and Amy -- who got engaged just a couple of days after this photo was taken, yay! -- and canine friend Pumpkin. 
Mom, N and I all went down to my aunt Shelia's in Chesapeake, Virginia for a few days around Christmas proper. Shelia, my cousin Chad, and their almost-15-year-old (!) Black Lab Rocky were incredibly gracious about opening up their home and yard to a crazy puppy. Nikita repaid this kindness, of course, by digging up Shelia's yard, holes visible below:
I haven't been able to pick N up in many months, so she looks understandably stunned by what's going on here with Chad:
We also went down to the beach on Christmas Day, and N got alot of love from my cousin Jess and her husband Stuart. (Puppy clearly puts out big-time on a first-date, slut.)
We then went back to mom's in Northern Virginia for another week of fun.
