Sadie wishes you all a happy and safe holiday. She knows she will follow the Christmas rules.
1 – At Christmas time, your owner will be particularly occupied and in stress. Try to pay him as much attention as he needs and try to cheer him up: jump at his legs and bark loudly words of comfort.
2 – You are your owner’s favorite pet, so it’s alright to assume that all the big bags are for you.
3 – To know which are and which aren’t your presents, observe the paper: if it has footprints on it, then they are yours. So, f you see presents without footprints, hurry up and print your paw in them.
4 – Be tolerant with humans when they put decorations on you. Wait patiently 5 seconds before destroying them. But don’t forget to let them know that you, and particularly you teeth, appreciate the present and chew vigorously while they are watching.
5- Show everyone that the cat isn’t the cleanest pet of the house. In this matter, your natural bathroom is very important. Use the branches to brush your teeth and use the water on the container of the tree to clean the mouth. Do this in front of guests to show how clean you are.
6- After you take care of your personal hygiene, it’s tike to put yourself looking good. Roll yourself in Christmas lights and run through the house to find a mirror. After checking that, bark as loud as you can to call your owners and show them how great you look.
7-As good host, receive the guest with special enthusiasm. Jump into their laps and lick their faces. Since they seem to have a special affection for little humans, concentrate your licking on them.
8-The Christmas meal is the highlight of the night. Put on your most tender face and parade through the guests at the table. Great treats await you! If your owner expresses disapproval of this, it’s because he is jealous. Go to him and do the same thing.
9-After dinner, everyone sits comfortably to talk. Run to your seat. If you owner says “Get out of there”, it’s because you are n the best stop. Hold on to it with your life.
10– Under no circumstance you should let enter the house a suspicious men with a big bag and red and white garment. Do everything you can to stop him. His weak spots are the belly and the fake beard. If you manage to defeat, claim what’s rightfully yours: his bag!
11– At the end of the night, humans like to shred paper. Join them, chewing on everything you can find. Don’t forget that they really like shredding, so you have to make a big effort to participate.
Signed,
The dog

I was interested in what you said on your blog about simplifying Christmas. I had decided a couple of months ago to do the same. I had complicated my life by putting up 4 trees. Last year I felt I wasn't enjoying it so this year I eliminated two trees. I also have stopped making cookies except for the cut outs. We were not eating the cookies and I was actually throwing away some in January. What a waste of time and resources! I even changed the family obligations to give myself more time at home Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday to sit quietly and look at the tree, build a fire, burn candles and read Christmas books and magazines. Tomorrow is Monday!!
ReplyDeleteSo cute, love this! :)

Well said! Tell Sadie I'll read this to her fellow Jack Russell, or Parson's Russell as is their correct name! I'm sure Katie Belle would say Amen to it all.
