On December 15, 2007, the FBCDFWI held their annual Christmas Party, and Dirty Santa gift exchange. The following were in attendance: members Brandi Scott and daughter Natalie, Bill Trautwein, Shally Carlson, Trudy Bettinger, Johnan Ratliff, Jancyne Dulemba, Gary Ferguson, Tetyana Tinker, and guests, Steve Tinker & Trish Varela.

Of course no French Bulldog Club of DFW event would be complete without a fair share of FrogDogs, and our Christmas Party was no exception. The Tinkers brought their charming little brindle girl along, Johnan's boy, Rusty, was Master of Ceremonies, Trudy had her chubby little Malibu Barbie in tow, and Gary brought his best friend, Boo, and this fun-loving group were successful in entertaining one another and all of us throughout the party.

The Ratliff building was beautifully decorated with all the seasonal trappings, Christmas songs were playing in the background, and each of us brought a dish or two or three of both traditional and not so traditional holiday foods.

We ate, we played with FrogDogs, we held our meeting, and ushered in our 2008 Officers.  Unbelievably, each of us wound up with a Christmas gift that could not have been more perfect for us had we filled out a Christmas wish list ourselves.

Happy Holidays to all and we hope to see each of you at our 2008 March Specialty Shows!
