Santa came! With loads of chickeny treats and balls… and a big, long furry snake that squeaks everywhere! I learned what it was called in three goes too! Then we had a walk in the dark, and that’s always fun ’cause there are creatures out there to ‘vestigate… Then she started doing really interesting things in the kitchen with the turkey and sausages and bacon and stuff…
And just when I thought breakfast was going to be turkey… she disappeared! She went to see her grandpups, though, so that was okay… she’s allowed a bit of magic at Christmas too…
“Can I turn her into a pumpkin?”
“??!!”
“I love her really…”
She seemed to have had a happy morning. Her grandpups always make her smile.
Then, when she came back… she brought me one of my boys! With all the cooking that had been going on, I knew he wasn’t going anywhere for a while too. We played loads... until she finished making dinner. I got lots of goodies then! Pity about the music though. My boy put some Christmas carols on while we all ate… and she sang to them all. At least, that’s what she calls it. She says dinner seemed to go down well though…
It was all going well. Then… she let me down. She got the red, furry antlers out…the ones she’d promised I wouldn’t have to wear. She said someone would have to wear them. But it seemed I might have misjudged her…
Trouble is, she’s sneaky. She kept her promise… I didn’t have to wear the furry antlers. But she must have read my poem… the one where I said not to tell her I might have worn them if they looked like real antlers…
The picture was a bit weird though… Still, it made them both laugh, so that was okay. Mind you, I reckoned I deserved some serious playtime for that. Even though I have to be really careful with that snake ’cause it squeaks a lot. So…I had a good Christmas… and there’s still loads of turkey left. Far too much for her to eat on her own 😉
Much love,

Hi Ani. I’m glad you had such a great Christmas. I did too. There were balls and treats, and… It was all so exciting! I was so tired after all of it that I slept for hours and hours. I never did spot that Santa Paws guy though… Lots of licks, Lilie

Todays dinner was great… but they shared yesterdays…even Yorkshire puds which I love and she never makes usually! AND I got custard! 😀

Custard. They haven’t opened the pud yet, so the custard will wait. The yellow goo on top of the shop trifle just isn’t the same. Mind you, I got sausages today, one for dinner with some chicken and bacon, and one for supper. Nice to know we four legs get special treats this time of year too. XX

The boy insisted on pudding… with proper custard and she always gives me custard when she makes it. I don’t like trifle though…she makes a strawberry one. The custard and cream are okay, but I don’t like the jelly stuff. xx

It’s the end of Boxing Day and still no custard made in this house! Waht’s going on???. Maybe she’s waiting for UnChristmas Day. I like cream, and yoghurt. Like you, I’m not keen on jelly though

All I can say is that was one big pudding for two people… so there may be more custard round here tomorrow…. 😉

I know! It was tradition to have Christmas Pud on Dad’s birthday in March. Mum used to make hers and they were amazing! I did one year and they were OK I guess, but not a patch on hers.

I´m glad you had a good Christmas, Ani! I love your snake but dad would have to take out the squeaky things. I got a monkey, squeakers removed, and I love it. I got to run on the beach and play with other dogs on Christmas day, then I got turkey too. Then we had more turkey on boxing day and today. I´m in heaven! Those grandpups are so cute. Enjoy your snake and the rest of the turkey. Thanks for letting me be on your blog. Love, Dot.

Hey Dot, I’m being careful of the snake’s squeakers…they are really big and loud. But the turkey is wonderful…and all the other goodies she is feeding me.
I’m glad you could come over… you and your two-legs are welcome any time here 😉 xx

So glad you had a good Christmas, Ani. That snake is a real prize, how long before you get the squeakers out? 😉 Nick looks pretty good in those antlers and the real ones look natural on you. 🙂
Your granddaughters are gorgeous, Sue – the youngest shows a strong family resemblence. 🙂

Thank you! Ani says I have to tell you that she seldom removes squeakers these days…most of her furry toys are almost as old as she is. She just grooms them… (makes me wish she could have had puppies. She would have been a lovely mother.)
The girls are gorgeous… and very alike. But their parents are going to have their hands full if the little one is a bright as her sister 🙂
