The Adventures of Julie and Bella 2025

Today was one of those magical, holiday-filled days that Bella and I will cherish forever! We kicked things off by getting festive with our outfits—Bella rocked a cute holiday hoodie while I donned my new   Christmas shirt. Once we were dressed and ready, I revealed the first surprise of the day: a trip to Petsmart to meet Santa Pawz!🎅

Though we had an appointment, the line was a bit of a wait. But who could complain? Bella made some new furry friends🐾, and we even ran into our neighbor and their dog! Watching Bella light up as she sniffed around and wagged her tail made the wait worthwhile. She did great posing with Santa Pawz, and I love how the pictures turned out!

The surprises didn’t stop there. Next, we headed to one of our favorite walking spots—the local college campus. The crisp air ❄️and holiday vibes made our walk extra special. Bella’s tail wagged nonstop as she trotted along the paths, sniffing every tree and bench. She loves it there, and honestly, so do I.

No adventure is complete without a stop at her favorite Three BOX—the Tim Hortons drive-thru! Bella got her beloved timbit🍩, and I treated myself to a coffee ☕️and a Holiday Sugar Cookie🍪. The sugar rush (and Bella’s excitement) kept us energized for the next part of the day.

Once home, we dove into some holiday crafting. We made a sweet ornament for our tree 🎄and even worked on a few top-secret Christmas gifts. (Don’t ask—my lips are sealed!) Crafting was followed by a cozy reading session, with Bella snuggled up beside me as I continued my latest thriller.📖

The day isn’t over just yet! Tonight, we’re curling up to watch Christmas baking shows and festive movies. Tomorrow, the holiday fun continues with more Christmas activities that I can’t wait to share.

I know some people think I go overboard with Bella, but she’s my baby—and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Spoiling her is one of my greatest joys, especially during the holidays.

Here’s to making memories, one pawprint at a time! 🎄
