It’s December 1st which means it’s the start of that month where most humans start to go a little crazy. I noticed this craziness last year, what with it being my first December and all. Suddenly the humans get this weird glint in their eyes as they talk about things like “snow” and “jingle bells” and some person named “Santa Paws.” And it’s all centered around this one day called “Christmas.” Shiny, glittery things get hung around the house, a huge tree gets brought indoors. Oh, and don’t even think about getting anywhere near that tree, even for a sniff (let alone taking care of some business like you boy dogs do) or else you get shooed away. And then there are boxes of all sizes covered in this shiny stuff and they all smell fun and exciting. Last year there were a few with my name on them from that guy “Santa Paws.” Mom says he lives way at the top of the world where it’s really cold (I hope his mommy dresses him in warm sweaters) and he makes and delivers presents for all the good little dogs. The bad ones get cat poo. This whole thing is all very weird to me, but the humans seem to really enjoy it, so who am I to make a fuss.
“Christmas” isn’t all trees, presents, and Santa Paws, there are also a lot of fun activities to enjoy up until the “big day” as that talking box my mom calls the t.v. would say. Over the weekend, my town held a fun little festival of lights to ring in the season. There was a parade and everything. Of course, being the slight scaredy cat that I am, I decided to stay home where it was nice and toasty. But, my mom said that there were a few pups were out enjoying the festivities, some being an actual part in the parade!

Two Weimaraners decided to brave the cold.

This holiday season is sure going to be fun!
I hope everyone had a fun and safe Thanksgiving!
Happy tail wags.
