He Won't be Guiding Anyone's Sleigh Tonight

Merry Christmas !Merry Christmas !! Merry Christmas!!! I want to see how quick I am going to get a comment that I should say "Happy Holidays" so I don't offend anyone. Three true stories. Number 1: A women was told by her home owners association to take her Christmas lights down because they might offend some of her international neighbors who do not celebrate Christmas. Number 2: The local elementary school could not decorate the classroom in green and red streamers because those colors typically represent Christmas. Number 3: An entire Holiday Pageant was recently canceled because it included the song "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer" because it says "one foggy Christmas Eve, Santa...." Once you start dissing Rudolph, things have gone too far!! I understand how Baby Jesus might offend someone not of the Christian faith, but come on people, a flying deer with a bright red nose? Maybe we'll have to start using this Chihuahua dressed up as a reindeer instead of the real Rudolph.

Pile-O-Babies

Whew! Linda smells like 10 babies all spit up on her at once. Oh wait, that is what really happened. She said the babies were all crying and spitting everywhere. She loves it though and I don't mind sharing her on Sunday nights while she volunteers at the nursery. We took a long walk today before she left, so at least I got my exercise. I'm going to sleep in the laundry pile tonight because I just love the smell of the sweet little wee-ones. She said none of them were as clean as this pile of babies when the parents came to pick them up.

Why did the alligator cross the road?

Apparently it was the chicken's day off! Or maybe he wanted to go to Disney World. A 5-foot alligator tried to cross a very busy street in downtown Orlando. An off duty police officer taped the gator's mouth shut and tried to stuff it in the back of the cop car. They eventually got him in the car and released him back into the wild. I'm not allowed to cross the street. During our walks, Linda picks me up and carries me across the street. She thinks I'm too little to cross on the leash. At least the alligator wasn't trying to get into someone's house!

Princess Choopie

This is the longest I've gone without posting. Whoa! It's just that Linda does not let me use the computer without her. She has been so busy and is hardly ever home in the evenings. When she does get home, she hugs and cuddles me but we don't go down stairs to the computer. Jerry came over for dinner last night. Linda cooked some yummy smelling food that I could not try any because of my diet. After dinner they watched a scary TV show. All was fine until I realized I wasn't the center of attention. I was biting Jerry, scratching at him and barking like crazy and he still was just barely petting me. He kept telling me I was jealous. I think I like it better when Linda is alone on the couch and Jerry takes me to his house. I'm the Princess and want all the attention all of the time thank you very much.

Brrrr! It's Cold Outside

It has been too cold to take our walks. Two of Linda's friends sent her the same video clip of the dog playing in the snow. I'm not sure I remember what snow is, but this pooch looks like she is having fun. As soon as it snows, Linda is going to let me test it out on the deck before we go for a walk. I already know I hate getting my feet wet, so I doubt I'll be flying along bounding in and out of the snow piles. I am not too proud to admit that I love a warm lap under a blanket fresh from the dryer.

G'Noort, Krypto, and Ace

No need to fear... Underdog is Here!!

Dogs are really mans best friend. They are also each others best friend. In a truly heroic act, a dog pulled his buddy out of traffic on a busy highway. His friend was hit by a car and lying in the dangerous road. The hero dog risked his own life to pull his friend to safety. Cars swerved all around them, but no one stopped. I can hardly believe people kept driving by. At the end of the video, a highway crew finally stops. I could not watch the video because it would have made me cry. Here is a still from the video. Anyone know who the three dogs in the heading are?

Three Dog Night

Only in this case, it was a two puppy night. Little Jaylynn Thorpe, 3, who lives in Virginia got lost in the woods after wandering from his baby sitters home. Twenty-one hours later, he was found huddled in the woods with his 2 puppies laying on top of him to keep him warm. 300 people searched for the boy who was a half mile from the house. When he was found, he told rescuers he wanted to go hunting and fishing. Maybe he better wait until he is a little older. This is the actual photo of one of the Hero Puppies. I hope Pet Smart donates a years worth of food and toys to the dogs. (Hint-Hint..... Since I know some of the big-wigs at Pet Smart read my blog.)
