Christmas with a dog means there will be a few ornaments nosed or tail-wagged off of the tree.
It means that wedges of cheese and salami will be snatched with glee from party platters, in front of guests who may not want to help themselves anymore after the fact! It means that there will be less time for long walks due to all of the wrapping that needs to be done. This of course leads to forlorn looks and pitiful whines while we try to get the wrapping and such done. And with the door bell ringing all of the time due to all the deliveries and visitors, there is sure to be a lot of excited barking.
But beyond these minor mishaps, what Christmas with a dog really means is the boundless love and warmth that our canine companions provide us, each and every day, holiday or not.
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas full of Fur and Fun!
Cheers! Diana
