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!

Woofs and wags,
