Mommy told me to say ho, ho, ho instead of ruff, ruff and
ruff. And since the mailman isn’t here yet, I’ll be quiet. Ruff or not, this
has been a rough year. Get it?
Anyway, she made this silly hat, and thought I should model
it for all the world to see. Isn’t that hilarious? I can count her blog followers
on one paw. It’s not like she’s some sort of 'influencer'. Do you think I listen
to her? Hardly, ever. But it’s the holidays and the area around my heart is filled
with gas and something called unconditional love. So, here I am in the hat. (Small
shout out to my online friends Agatha and Winston who are probably dying of
laughter. Wish we could sniff each other. If you want to meet them click here:)
The stuff mom’s been passing off as health food sucks. Plus,
dad tries to sneak in some gross liver pill. Everything they eat smells better
than the stuff in my bowl. It’s so unfair. When I beg for a scrap, they give me
a pat on the head telling me I’m cute. Liars! How can I believe them? I’m
losing weight and they still won’t make me a rib-eye steak!
Well, as I mentioned above, this past year has been an
obstacle course. Not just for me, but for all of us. I’m tired of it.
Especially that vet place where the other patients look big and mean like they
want to eat me. Sorry, I’m still having flashbacks regarding my little sister who met
a big mean dog near the park. (Very sad story but she’s at some rainbow place.)
Mom says I have a dog version of PTSD. Personally, I think she does. I
cheer her up with licks.
I’m even boycotting
my tennis ball. She throws it, and I watch as it lands on the grass, and for
some strange reason I think it looks nice sitting right there on the lawn. Guess
my bones don’t feel like running and lunging anymore. Man, I used to be hyper. I’d
dash around the house like a racehorse and jump onto the dining room table
looking for leftover morsels. At least I still have energy to yell at that
mailman. And, with any luck I’ll still be slinking around here next year at
this time. Meanwhile, I hope everyone
has a wonderful holiday filled with fabulous belly rubs and the awesome snacks from my dreams.
Wishing all of you the Happiest, most joyous New Year ever!
