A Dogs Christmas
Our dogs receive gifts from Santa each Christmas if they are good. So far they have been good each year. They work hard protecting us and our home from harm. They play sweet with each other and usually only destroy their own toys. They are very loving to us, family, and friends. There is no feeling like watching TV on a cold winter night while a warm dog is curled up with their head in your lap. Or the feeling of having a warm dog curled up against my legs in bed. They are good dogs and they deserve gifts at Christmas just like children do. In fact they are like children; they are sweet, innocent, they get upset, jealous, and pout when they are upset.
Each Christmas they get a stocking filled with toys, rawhide chews, and treats. They also have wrapped gifts for each one with a special toy inside. They love to help tear open the gifts. They love Christmas as much as we do and get excited when we put up the tree.
The first Christmas we had Coca she just a few months old. She chewed the wire on a set of lights. Not knowing that the wires were wet and chewed I plugged in the lights and got knocked back into the wall nearby. There was also a loud pop and smoke from the socket. Coca whined and licked me for almost an hour. I know she was saying she was sorry. After that she would lay with her head under the tree but she never chewed the wires again.
This year we have Lucy, our son’s dog in our house too. Lucy is a young boxer who likes to attack and chew flowers. I don’t know how she will react to the Christmas tree and other decorations. We make have some new Christmas high jinks to laugh over.
