Day 19: A Christmas User Manual

And now we go to Loki for the three stages of Tinsel...

1. A dusting... why bother, there's more on the carpet than your tree...

2. Tasteful discretion... your tree is too cool for ornaments and garland alone

3. Cher... Belt it, DO YOU BELIEVE IN LIFE AFTER LOOOOOVE...

Day 18: The weather outside is...

DELIGHTFUL?

I'm pretty sure that's not how that song goes... and I know a few pooches who are pretty upset we're averaging in the mid 40's!

So... we all change our Christmas wishes to SNOW! 

And, we're ready for it!

Take that global warming!

Destined to be a Kardashian...

Enough fur to only rock some gloves!

Snow? What's snow? Do I like snow? Can I eat snow? Can I chase snow? Does this hat bring out the hazel in my eyes?

Day 17: Santa's Little Helpers

It's always nice to have the extra little paws around the house to help with the Christmas festivities...

Then again, if you have ever seen a dog use a rolling pin or try tying a bow, you'll know that it's the thought that counts.

Day 16: OOOO, piece of candy...

Another Ode to Maddie the Coonhound...

Also, if you steal the candy cane off my desk at work, you should know at one point today it was in my dog's mouth - joke's on you.

Day 14: Brought to you by Pirates

...and Merriam-Webster...

Festoon: (n) A decorative chain or strip hanging between two points

All these years I thought you were festooned on an island when in reality you're marooned.

And now a pictorial representation to drive the point home, enjoy.

Day 13: Do you hear what I hear...

You're over halfway there....

Stay calm and carry on.

Day 12: Better not cry...

Another quick intermission...

We got a new toy at the store and I couldn't help catching the pups going wild!!!

Pretty sure they're on the naughty list now!

Throw it... throw it... THROW IT!

One step closer and the fat man gets it!

Forget reindeer: my dog can fly.
