dogsin the city h Treats & Squeaks. A Howliday Wish from Guinness.
The best part of Christmas is the late morning snooze, In a big bed with mommy and daddy and Roo, Under blankets and pillows the Roo and I dream Of huge slabs of turkey and treats on the tree.
If your holidays seem to race by like a blur, And your invites all start with Dear Madam or Sir,
Take a page from your pups as they squeak on their toys, Read The New Barker, relax and enjoy.
Have a Treat-filled Christmas, And a Pawsperous New Year.
Ahhhh.The cooler weather is finally here, along with it are my favorite two howlidays: Thanksgiving and Christmas. Everything is perfect about this time of year. We get to go for a bunch of car rides to other houses with lots of family who show up just to see us. Once we arrive,we nose around with our fur-cousins, get tummy rubs and take turns racing each other to catch the Frisbee. After that, it’s down to business. We all know what’s coming, so we place our- selves
strategically.And wait. Then it starts. Big slabs of turkey that mysteriously show up under the table, keep us all vigilant and ready to partake. (All dogs have been sworn to silence on the supplier. Code name: Santa Paws.You know who you are). For Christmas, Daddy will
actually bring a tree into the house. (Not intended as indoor plumbing for me, I’ve since discovered.) We get all the family fun, play, and the under- the-table smuggled food of Thanksgiving, but we also have squeak toys wrapped and waiting under the tree for us, too. We get to rip and chew through all that paper, before beginning the ever so careful ritual of disemboweling the stuffing, then squeaker from every single toy.
Life from a Dog’s Perspective is a series written for The New Barker by Guinness the dog (as told to his mom, Lon Martin). When he isn’t blogging to his worldwide fan base, he enjoys watching a little FDTV (front door television)
with his housemate and fellow Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Rosie. Go to
