Who ever this Father Christmas is, I hope he makes a detour through his busy night to stop at our door.
We’ve had a stressful week, in fact a stressful few months and I for one could do with a nice surprise.
Does that sound selfish ?- Well bloody good -cos I feel selfish, all this giving gets you nowhere- I am gonna stand on a great big Drum and bang for all I’m worth- to guide Rudolf and team to make a drop off at my house like Amazon do. They don’t have far to go, they only live half a mile away at Tatton.
I would like a Barbour coat with a fur lining- my Mums previous dog Alfie had one- but she’s lost it- she loses a lot these days- poor old bugger. I would also like some Dumbbell Treats from Tesco- no excuse there as it’s open 24hrs- so Santa, on your sleigh and off to Altricham toot sweet. Don’t bother with a Tesco card Mum says there useless, unlike the Boots card. Trouble is I don’t want anything from a Chemist- they don’t do dogs.
Mum’s been knackered all week, she overdid it at the Sports Personality of the Year DO last Sunday and she has paid the price- so have I !!! and I didn’t even go. Ive been for a pre- Christmas wash and brush up at Newgate with Jenny- Mum gave her a card with ME on the front- she is good at promotion, My picture is in lots of homes and it appears that I am pride of place in my Mum’s friends houses.
This morning Mum went to see Betty’s babies and she stank of them when she came home- seems I am not entitled to meet my best friends puppies- which really pisses me off. Mum showed me some pictures of them- Mmm, I must admit Betty’s has brought some little crackers into the world and in one photo the six of them were biting her nips and she she wasn’t even bothered. I am so proud that my Betty is such a great Mum.
My mate Martin is going away for a few weeks, so Mum will have to get off her arse and walk me each day, thank the lord the days have started getting longer and lighter- Ive struggled finding the path down the field some nights.
Well, who knows what tomorrow brings ? and if I don’t get the coat or treats- I am sure Mum will give me the best time she can, I think she is a bit reflective on days gone by and worried about the ones ahead, but together we will soldier on- the two of us- like The Krankies and The Chuckle Brothers- we were meant to be a double act.
Merry Christmas to you and Bring on that New Year which I hope will be full of lovely surprises for you.
Love and Snowflakes
