Got it Going On!

Why can't it be Christmas every day?

It's a warm, humid day down here near the bottom of the world today, and us doggies aren't doing much apart from lying around the yard sleeping.
Howard Jr has gone up to our mountain house with daddy, and I'm pleased about that. I don't miss his bossy ways!!!!!!!!!

Phoenix the S/Vallhund was the one who started us doggies all wishing it was Christmas again. Mommy had gone out into the laundry for just a minute to get something. Phoenix glanced both ways to make sure mommy was definitely out of sight, and then she jumped up onto one of the dining table chairs. Phoenix jumped onto the dining table next to where our small artifical Christmas Tree is.

UH OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Phoenix started sniffing the Christmas pawresents that are still under our Christmas tree, and then she started ripping the wrapping paper with her teeth!
The rest of us doggies all crowded around the table and sat there watching Phoenix ripping open all those pawresents. She dropped a T Shirt over the side of the table to us and Freddie started chewing it.
Yuk!!! That wasn't a doggy treat!
She dropped something else over the side of the table and I grabbed it.
Phut!!! That wasn't a doggy toy!

"Just what do you all think you are doing?" Mommy's voice called across the living room.
Everyone quickly ran outside except me. I walked up to mommy with the thing I had in my mouth and gave it to her.
"I think you all just wish it was Christmas every day," mommy said as she gave me a rub behind my ear.
"Oh yes," I thought as I wagged my tail so hard it thumped on the living room floor. "I wished Santa Paws would come again."

Mommy suddenly remembered that there were some bags of Eukanuba Healthy Extras in our showing bag, so she went and got them for us.
We were all so excited to be getting treats again - except for Xena! Xena took one in her mouth, spat it out and walked off outside. I guess she really just doesn't like eating anything healthy, but that means there's more for the rest of us!

SANTA PAWS CAME

Santa Paws came - he really did come to my house.

It was Christmas Eve, the fairy lights were twinkling on the Christmas Tree, Christmas Carols were playing and mommy took us all out into the yard to look at the clear starry sky for just a couple of minutes.
When we got back in the house there were lots and lots of pawresents around our Christmas Tree, and Santa had left a Santa hat too!
Mommy put the santa hat on Holly and she helped to give us some of our pawresents.

Howard Jr got the first pawresent to open and it was a bag of pigs ears - mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm - we all got one.
Mommy and daddy watched a Christmas movie and it seemed as if we were opening doggy pawresents filled with delicious treats to eat all evening.
We were all so happy it was Christmas and Santa Paws had visited our house.

It was 1am by the time we went to bed, but that didn't stop us waking up at 5am to open the rest of our pawresents.
Daddy said he had no idea why we had all woken up so early when we went to bed so late and normally sleep in when that happens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mommy just laughed at daddy and told him that he was silly, because us doggies all knew it was Christmas and we wanted to open our Christmas pawresents.
So, mommy took us all back into the living room, Holly put the santa hat on again and we got the rest of our pawresents.

There were so many new toys and squeakies in those pawresents we lost count of who's squeaky was who's. This was apart from Holly who took a particular liking to a pink squeaky she received, so she took it to her place in the living room and stayed with it and a couple of pigs ears all morning.
There were pink squeakies, green squeakies, reindeer toys, doggy toys, orange squeakies, rope chew toys - too many to write about. There were more pawresents filled with doggy treats - greenie bones, pigs ears, chicken and sweet potato, beef jerky etc.......
I loved all the wrapping paper and had great fun jumping into the middle of the pile and barking at it.

Christmas was the most fun ever, and I can't wait for Christmas next year so that it can happen all over again.

MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone - and Thank You Santa Paws for coming to my house. :):):):):)

THANK YOU DOGSTER FOR CHOOSING ME TO BE A DIARY DAILY PICK.

Thank you Dogster for choosing me to be a Diary Daily Pick.
Thank you for such an honor.
I sure hope Santa knows this. Maybe he'll leave me an extra pawresent in my Christmas stocking on Christmas Eve now.
