When does that tree go away?

Well, it's three days after that big holiday with all the wrapping paper and jingle bell collars and I'm trying to figure out why that blinking tree is still in my living room. The mean white cat that lives with us keeps swatting at the balls and watching them crash to the floor then mom yells but she is deaf so the whole thing ends up being kinda funny.
On a brighter note mom, Aunt Ro, and Grandma got me tons of toys for Christmas. Of course my brother Pepe tries to steal them from me but I just get my growl on and he usually backs off the rawhide. Mom also got me a new snuggle ball bed. She calls it my "big boy bed" and tries to make me sleep on it but during the night I just jump up on her bed, steal all the covers, and get to snoring again. I know she loves me anyway.
So, my adoption anniversary date is coming up next month. I've been with my mom for a whole year now and it's been so great. I can tell she really loves me- she kisses me all the time and makes those squeaky noises in my face. She's a good mom.
My new year's resolution is to stop eating like I have no sense. Mom says I'm not supposed to be more than 20 lbs but I figure I don't really have anyone to impress so why not indulge? Well, I'll try not to eat both my and my brother's food for a while.
I hope everyone has a great new years- talk to you next year!
