We have moved into Christmas countdown mode. Our Mistress is now drawing up a list of what\u2019s left to be done. She\u2019s very good at drawing up lists, she\u2019d be a bit lost without them. There\u2019s the list of presents left to buy, the list of presents left to be delivered, the list of cards left to write, the list of food to buy, the list of where the lists are \u2013 you get the idea. We can\u2019t actually have Christmas until all the lists have been ticked off. If it\u2019s not on the list it won\u2019t get done and if it is on the list it will get done whether it was needed or not. The decorations are all finished and Shadow has Christmas music playing in her room so all is right with the world. Now I just need to write my note for Santa Paws and reassure him I\u2019ve been a good dog and ask if I could have a very big bone for Christmas and that will be the last of my preparations done too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I probably shouldn\u2019t say this as I wouldn\u2019t want to spoil the surprise for the children, but our Master may play a part in helping Santa visiting the Carols on the Green in the village. Now, I\u2019m not going to say exactly what he\u2019s doing to help, but it is a very important role and he\u2019s really looking forward to it. It\u2019s a job he loves doing and he even got an emergency call to go and help out at a school\u2019s children\u2019s party last Friday. The original \u2018helper\u2019 was ill so he only got 30 minutes notice to get ready and get to the school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before that though he\u2019s off to visit Wilma\u2019s mum and sister and hopefully see some snow, which is something we\u2019ve missed out on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m off to write my letter to Santa<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have a great Wednesday<\/p>\n\n\n\n
