Now I has to wait a whole 'nother year

I DID have a pawsome Crisp mas though. I got to spend half at TNP's house and Half at grandpawents house and only a teensy bit at my house. I feel like I has beed very busy, Mum says I has only been to some of TNP's family's houses and so it not really that busy, but for a sensitive little sheltie boy like me it can all be pretty overwhelming. Mum went out Crisp mas shopping just before Crisp mas and look what our local town had.

Girl Rudolphs!

On Crisp mas morning Me and Mum woke up at TNP's we opened our first presents in bed then went round to Grandpawents, not so early this time, since Mum has a different job now and didn't has to go to work. Mum cooked and Grandpaw and TNP gave me lots of leftovers. Mum thinks they gave me a poorly tummy later that night but we wont remind her about that! Then TNP went to his own Pawrents and we got to open our presents!

We did lots of visiting with TNP's family. Mum said she be very proud of me when we went visiting, I did very good and got to be the centre of attentions, just how I like, because TNP's family has never had dogs so I is very interesting to them. I know his Mum and Auntie very well and sometimes go round there for dinner, but I also met his big scary intruder-like brothers and I couldn't stop eyeing one up and barking when he came in. Mum thinks cos he be tall and stooped over me cos he didn't really know how to approach a scaredy dog like me. I much prefer it if people come up to me gently and let me choose when to go to them and if they don't look right at me. I did get used to him though.

As usual I got tonnes of Crispmas presents, way more than Auntie Penny. She got tired after her first one and went to bed. I lasted a couple more before I snuck away. It very hard for me cos Grandpawents put all the presents in one big pile and then you pick out a present at a time. After I has opened one of mine I want to open everyone elses too! Grandma said she seed nibble marks on some of the presents. You cas not trust that Auntie Penny... hehe!

We didn't get many piccures this year cos Mum's camera got too cold and got condensed on it's lenses! Or something! I gots some video to show soon. I saved some of my presents for the day after Crisp mas and opened them at TNP's so I could show off for his family. My favourite be a nice soft polar bear what says 'honk'. I is keeping it at TNP's in my brand new toy corner.

I get so excited opening my presents! Mum says I is a real pro now, although sometimes I do walk off with the paper and forget about the toy that was inside it.

One day TNP came round grandpawents and they all played dogopoly. Here I be 'helping' Mum. She said I kept moving her money around and not really helping at all. Grandpaw won.

As usual on Crisp mas day the Grandpawents had turkey and all the trimmings and Mum just had the trimmings. 

What do you mean, I doesn't get to sit at the table? Again!

Ah well, I hope you all had a wonderful Crisp mas and New Year. My resolution be to nag Mum to get back into the swing of blogging and visiting all my furiends. Mum says it should be to bark less. I thinks I like mine better.
