Ready for Christmas<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Well that\u2019s me ready for Christmas. I\u2019ve hung up mystocking for Santa Paws and I\u2019ve helped put all the decorations up. Now I\u2019m packing my little bag and getting ready to visit Mama for a few days. I so want it to be snowy when I get there. Everything will seem really lovely and Christmassy if it is. Oh I know it\u2019s going to be fun going to all the Christmas markets. The worst bit is that they don\u2019t let me try the Mulled Wine. It smells so good, even to a dog. On that note, Mum has been really mean. There are some pine cones in a basket in the lounge. They smell of orange and cinnamon and I\u2019m not allowed to run off with any of them, not even one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kicking my paws<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This morning I\u2019m rather kicking my paws. Mum has a very important meeting to go to and I\u2019m not allowed to go with her. I said I could sit in the car, but she doesn\u2019t want any distractions at all, not even me! She has promised to come home as soon as she can and then I think, apart from packing, we\u2019re going for a long walk before the travelling days begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shadow is quite athletic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It turns out for a dog who is nearly ten, Shadow is quite athletic. Mum is well aware that if I\u2019m around then she can\u2019t leave food on the work surface in the kitchen as I can easily jump up there. She trusts Shadow though, as much as anything because she is shorter and is not as agile. I should reword that. She trusted Shadow. Past tense. Mum had made herself a salad and left it on a plate near the edge of the counter. She only left the room for a minute, but came back to find Shadow still munching with a piece of tomato hanging out of her mouth. Way to go Shadow! I was impressed, even if Mum wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
