If it doesn\u2019t happen now it isn\u2019t going to happen. Christmas may well be cancelled and that would not be good. The Christmas cards have been bought. The letter is written. The question is, will any of the cards make it as far as the post box before the puppies arrive? Then of course there\u2019s the question of presents. The only ones which have been bought so far are for my Master. That worries me. And what about the Christmas tree and outdoor lights? How is Santa going to know to stop here and bring the puppies their presents \u2013 quite apart from mine? My Mistress seems to think it will all happen somehow, but isn\u2019t exactly sure how. Looking on the bright side, what could be better for Christmas day than to share it with a litter of tiny puppies who can learn the wonder of turkey for the very first time?<\/p>\n
I would like to applaud the police dog who caught one of the thieves that had broken into my Master\u2019s work premises. It is so good to hear of dogs doing worthwhile jobs and even though I know my literary career is important, I do understand that maybe dogs that undertake brave deeds as part of their work are maybe doing something a little more important than I am. I\u2019m too much of a coward to do anything like that. I don\u2019t even fight back against the girls. Shadow was with us during the morning yesterday and I simply cowered behind my Mistress\u2019s chair just in case she decided to come in my direction. You can never be too careful. I wouldn\u2019t be cut out for the split second decision to pin someone down who might be carrying a weapon. I\u2019d be stood there thinking they might hurt me.<\/p>\n
