Dear Santa

Dear Santa, have I got a story to tell you. And it is not my fault. The goldendoodle and I had a play date. It was a lovely snowy day. So we went outside to enjoy the day! And this is part of the story.

Just because I have better aim, Santa, there is no picture of me…and the darn doodle is crying foul! Well, here is how I feel about it!

I bet Mrs. Claus is on my side. Just ask her. And, Santa, I really don’t want to stay on the naughty list all the way til Christmas!!! You know me better than that, Santa!

Christmas Cookies

Christmas is drawing near and time for baking is here! Oh, the good smells that will fill the house…and Mom drinks hot coco and we get treats! It is such a special time of the year. But… I must be very careful so that this does not happen.

Oh, holy cannoli! I just can’t help myself! The dough – it’s so tempting. First, I restrain myself while Mom takes out the ingredients and mixes them.

But the dough – it smells so good! And it is just the size of one of my balls. I cannot help myself. When Mom turns around, she finds this.

And a Newfie with a dough ball on the run! Oh, holy cannoli!! She always catches me!!!!

Mom put us in the bedroom to make the cookies this year. We could still smell them. And when they were done, we could see them but not taste them! Santa, I am still on your good list!! Here is a picture of our Christmas cannoli!

Oh Christmas Tree: The Dog’s Perspective

Mom and Dad are celebrating the season of Advent. The tree is up and their home is decorated. Dash, Jack, and I look at things just a bit differently. We have a dog’s perspective. Can you imagine how we feel about clove studded oranges on the tree? The smell is sooooo inviting and we want to investigate the properties and determine all about them. And what about those things called “ornaments”?

Do they taste as good as they look? They must because Mom keeps us as far from the tree as she does from our treats when we are not getting any!!
Here is what we think about the tree.

Guess it is a good thing Mom is using a gate if she does not want us to taste the goodness of the oranges, ornaments, and the tree. After all, a hungry newfie girl just can’t resist the temptation sometimes, can she?

Dogs versus Elf on the Shelf

Mom left us home alone with and in charge of the lovely house with the decorations and presents. She had an MRI and we could not be in the room while they did the test and no one was going with her so no one could hold our leash. Dash and I felt important felt important that we were trusted to care for the home with the tree and decorations!
But we had one worry: the Elf on the Shelf was on the loose! He had quite a record for creating havoc. What could he do in Mom’s absence? We were about to find out!! And it was not good.

We could not believe our eyes! The precious tree was tipped on its side. Dash and I had no idea how to fix such a huge problem!!! But we knew exactly what to do about the Elf on the Shelf. There was just one course of action to prevent future disasters and we took it!

Now we have to explain all this to Mom when she gets home. Hopefully she is in a very, very understanding mood. Has anyone else been in such a situation? We would love advice about how to best tell Mom!!

If You Could Read My Mind….

Ever wonder what goes on in the mind of this diva dog? If you could read my mind, you would found some of these thoughts…and much more!

I am always raring to go at 4:48 AM!

Mom must be eating!! I want to share!!

If Mom went out without me, I get a bit suspicious…

Around nap time, I get philosophical.
After dinner, I get ready for bed.

One thing is for sure, Mom and I are

And that is a glimpse into the mind of this goofy Newfie!

Santa’s Helper

We are still decorating our home and today we are doing the most important part! We are putting up our tree. This morning, Mom is getting out the pretty lights and ornaments and organizing them so that after dinner when
Dad is home we can have hot cocoa and decorate! And what does my brother the Labrador retriever do? He is so fascinated with the lights he must make a “fashion statement” with them.

That is not helpful, Dash! Keep it up and we will not get to wear our special outfits tonight when we decorate!!! And they are cute!!! Just have a peek.

So let’s be good and be Santa’s Helpers!

Holiday Dog Shaming!!

Is Mom into “dog shaming”? Does she not realize that I am a Diva Dog, a proud Newfoundland, and a working service dog? I know that some therapy dogs dress up, but really, Mom, not me!!! I cannot imagine what the kids will say when they see me if you actually put these on me and we go to school.,.

I know it is the right season, but couldn’t I have a cute pink Santa hat with the my title, “Princess”, on it? Or I could just wear my Diva crown. I like that!!

Oh, Mom! Please, don’t shame me with the reindeer gear!!!
Dear readers, please comment to help sway Mom! Get me out of this! I at least need a “Princess” Santa hat instead!!

Krinkle, Krinkle

Mom and I were reading funny memes while she was drinking hot chocolate after our walk. It was a good cuddle time. I found the best meme! It may not look like me, but it is my twin! No matter where someone is in our home, if there is a wrapper that krinkles, I think “food”, and hustle to that place to investigate! I am motivated, you know!

Yes, that is me… In spirit!
Are you like that about wrappers?

Naughty Elf on the Shelf

Our Elf on the Shelf is rather naughty! His antics are going to get him into trouble not just with Mom but with Santa! He is supposed to remind us to be good but he is breaking rules at home! Ones we never even thought to break!!!

For safety’s sake, always lift with a partner!

Never copy yourself, Elf!

Snow belongs outside!

Goldfish are treats! Urgh!

No parachuting in Mom’s kitchen!

Barrel racing belongs in the rodeo!

Only adults may use fire!
Oh, Elf on the Shelf, you need to follow the rules like Dash and me! Your antics are going to get you on the wrong list! You want to be on Santa’s Nice List, right?!?

What do you think?
