Well it's Christmas time again, and despite being blind, D'Artagnan can still manage to find the artificial Christmas tree and try to take his presents... or any other presents that happen to be lying around!  The Jingle bells are up around the bottom of the tree to alert everyone, and the low hung tinsel is prepared to catch him sparkily furred if he tries again.  And he will!


Here is his wish list for this year:  it's probably the same as last years, but he's a dog, so his wishes don't change very much.


1. a stinky bone
2. another stinky bone
3. a smaller stinky bone to distract Westley as I steal his larger stinky bones
4. a nice new soft patch of carpet to eat my stinky bones on
5. someone to make the birds stop cheeping as I eat my stinky bones- they are very distracting
6. a big fence to keep Max my hamster from sneaking up on me while I'm eating my stinky bones
7. some soft chewy cookies (as you can't just eat stinky bones all day long!)
8. extra large turkeys this year for Christmas Eve, Day and New Year's dinners
9. I'd like some Chinese Moon cakes [even though it's not Moon Festival yet] as I really love them.  [Seriously- he has moon cake radar, sonar and GPS]
10. a peaceful and wonderful new year for everyone on Earth!


.... and to think Westley (the "greedy one") just wants a new stuffed toy sheep.

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone in BC had a Merry Christmas & a fun New Years Eve. Everyone here is fine, Sadie is fine. Her diabetis is in check, so far. All she got were Dingo brand chews with meat in them, she loves em. No toys though, she has plenty.

On an older note, I know some of your family went to the Sounders game when Beckham came to town, what is up with a streaker I heard about? I went to the game up here at the Metrodome on my birthday(11-11)& no one without clothes here. I'm just saying...

Take care & have a great 2008, & best wishes from Minnesota...except when the Wild play your Canucks of course.

Hope you have a wonderful new year too!

D'Artagnan is doing ok- an eating machine as ever. He didn't get any bones this year, but has managed to eat all the rawhide chews, cookies and pig ears already. He goes back to the Christmas tree to check for more several times a day, but hasn't been successful. Doesn't deter him from trying again though!

There was a streaker apparently, but since I wasn't there, can't comment. Paul and Dad didn't see the person either as they were looking at another part of the field when it happened. Streakers are common in Europe sports games though, so we didn't find it too surprising =)

Happy New Year everyone!
