Well, here I am at Christmas time. I like the climate this time of year. living in the southwest is great. We don’t get any of that white fluffy stuff that I keep hearing about on the news. My masters gives me my own Christmas stocking to open. I guess that I was good during the year. Then again I get one each year. It is part of the charm thing I do. This stocking looks pretty interesting. Look at the colors. I wonder what is inside. This calls for some keen observation and the skill of a fine surgeon in order for me to open this without tearing it a part. But I am so exciting at what is inside, I have to know!
Let me see now, I have one side open and all I have to do is to just pull back the top a little and I will be able to see what is inside. I almost have it. I have been working up a heap of energy doing this. I know that master dad has that camera thing going so not only do I have to wrestle with this stocking, I have to maintain that « cute » image also. Boy, is my life rough around here. I have to open this carefully. I don’t need to make a mess right now. Master dad and mom have already opened their presents. One thing about them, no one took any pictures! What gives around here? I need to join a union or something.
It looks good. It fits in my mouth. Not much on taste, but I can have caring this around the house in my mouth. I wonder is I can get master dad to play with me. Well, on to the next surprise. I will just lay this aside for now and will get back to it later. I have to find out what else is inside this stocking. once I heard someone say an ice cream cone. Whatever that might be. I like the pastel colors and the small size.
Here is something that looks interesting. It is elongated, yellow with red stripes, but it is hard for me to get a good bite onto this. maybe if i hold it between my front paws, I can get a better bite on the situation. Where is McGruff when you need him. I am sure he could get a bite out of this. I keep hearing master dad saying something like a football thing. I have no idea what that is, but master mom said « Not on Christmas Sunday are you going to watch any. « You be a good ‘boy’ and take some more pictures. » I thought master dad’s name was « Bill. »
Here is something that I can really get my teeth into. I keep wanting to know what master mom keeps saying to master dad all the time. « See, even Fudgie knows when to brush his teeth. You might learn something from him if you watch him long enough. » I guess master dad is working hard at keeping the camera going and trying to please master mom. But I still hear from master dad, « Just get this this over and maybe I will have time to watch the end of the second half ». Second half of what and watch when? I like this toy. It is small enough for me to carry around. I really have a good life. Each year we go through this same routine. I really think my Masters get a thrill out of watching me open my Christmas stocking.
Boy, do I need this. Got done opening all of my Christmas stocking, worked up a sweat, and just taking a « power nap » and what does master mom do? Yep, that camera thing again. Even master dad is catching up with his « power nap ». I guess the second half of whatever must be over. I think master dad missed it. We Gates’ have a very rough life. All we need are these little « power naps » just to boost up our energy. Well, this is another end to a great Christmas. I got many new play toys and as soon as master dad wakes up, maybe he and I can go outside to play with my new toys.
