Internet Tails - Part 17 - "CHRISTMAS TIME 2007"
Well Christmas has now come and gone and I have to say that Santa Paws did not let me down again this year….. I must remember to write to him every year!
Ok, now what did I ask for and what did I get???
1st on my list was a nice long walk with Mum & Aunty Pip…. I didn’t quite get that Christmas morning, I did have a walk in the morning with Aunty Pip and another in the afternoon, but these weren’t what I would call a long walk. My morning walk was with the ball and the afternoon was a shortish walk up Hollerday Hill. However, the following day I went for a nice long walk with Mum & Uncle Andrew up over Hollerday Hill - boy it was fab. I grabbed a stick when we 1st went through the gate and carried it around for the whole walk! We went a different way that usual, which meant a longer walk - certainly not complaining! After the walk they went into a café for a coffee whilst I waited outside. I did wonder if they had abandoned me, but they hadn’t.
I had another massive walk on Sunday too, this time they took me right up over South Cliff along towards where Nanny works and then back. It was fab, a load of new smells and more sticks to find and of course, flip! I am now shattered, so much so that I really couldn’t handle going out again with Grumpy & Aunty Pip this afternoon, I just stayed home with Mum & Nanny curled up watching the tele.
2nd on my list was Christmas Dinner with the family, with all the trimmings…. Oh yes I had that! Turkey & Ham, with Roast Spuds & Parsnips, Brussels and chestnuts plus other veg and gravy - yum yum the best dinner of the year!
3rd on my list was some lovely doggy treats,… I got them, oh yes, Nanny & Grumpy brought me some as did Granny Bess, I think I’ll be OK for treats til Easter!!! I also had a couple of toys, Granny Bess brought me a Reindeer which makes a funny noise, Mum brought me a snowball man which squeaks, and Nanny & Grumpy brought me some leg warmers!! yep did OK with the ole treats and toys again this year.
4th on the list was a swim in a nice clear stream…. Yep managed that too! The day after Christmas and after the morning walk I had about 2 hours where I could dive in and out of the stream. Mum & Uncle Andrew took some bits up to that nice place on the moors and let me play around while we were all up there. Boy did I have fun. I checked on them a couple of times, just to make sure they hadn’t left without me, they hadn’t of course. It was damn chilly, but that didn’t stop me. So I had me swim and a stick flip at the same time - oh I do like it up there, pure Jakey heaven!!
Finally on my list to Santa Paws was a new name tag……Yep, you’ve guessed it, got that too. Mum got me that and she did give it to me just before Christmas. I suppose she wanted to make sure she didn’t lose me either!! it’s a round silver one with my name and number on plus telling everyone that “I’m Chipped” chipped with what, dunno!
So there you have it, all the wishes on my list well and truly delivered - THANK YOU SANTA PAWS! I do truly feel spoilt.
Its now almost the new year. Mum asked me what my resolutions will be, well I have no idea to be honest. I know she has written some, whether she will manage to fulfil them I’m really not sure. I just hope that we both have a good year, plenty of walks, swims and stick flipping will do me just fine!
So all, HAPPY NEW YEAR!
