It is one of my mum's favourite pictures of me. i had had such a grand morning when she took that picture. I was ina dn out of the creek for over an hour. I REALLY smelt good when I got home that day!<BR/><BR/>Ps you can see a video of me in the creek if you click on the link under my 'labels" column.

What is this 'otherwise'? Of course there's a Santa Paws. Who else would leave me toys under the tree for me to open on Christmas Morning? ;)<BR/><BR/>Herhimnbryn - yeah, but the kennels can be fun too can't they? And as you say - you'll get well spoiled when you get home. Tell Alpha female that I love her photo of you - 22 June 2008 - Wet Dog, for some reason it made tears come into mum's eyes. I think she likes it too. Humans are wierd. Why do some of them cry when they see something they like? I guess you'll be having a topsy turvy Christmas in Oz. We'll be shivering and you'll be baking.<BR/><BR/>Diane, thanks for dropping by and thankyou for your comment - I'll have a pop over to yours later. It's a very sociable thing this blogging isn't it?

I used to have a great Christmas. But for the last two years I have had to go to that bloody kennel place. They are very kind to me, but I don't get to eat stuff that falls off the Bbq or climb onto the sofa when everyone else is out of the house.<BR/><BR/>But when the Alpha female ( who is she kidding) comes to pick me up, I know I'm in for a couple of days of being spoilt, 'cos she feels guilty about leaving me at the K.P.

I will definitely do a blog on my five addictions, but I still won't sneak over to you and get the award, 'cause it wouldn't be fair and I'd be wracked with guilt and wouldn't be able to sleep. I'm ridiculously anal when it comes to doing the right thing and sticking to the rules and get mercilessly ribbed by my pals:(<BR/><BR/>Quasar - I think your mom & dad should eat and drink what they want at Christmas, it's the only day mom lets her hair down. Pity that your mom's sisters-in-law expect high priced gifts. That's the type of attitude that's spoiled Christmas. Mum's on a tight budget this year -I think most people are. Anyway, I hope you have a lovely time, despite everything else. Give your dad lots of re-assuring licks & cuddles.<BR/><BR/>Rosie - I haven't been 'done' (whatever that is) but I've heard mum say things like "what he doesn't know he can't miss..." go figure! I don't think I'll EVER be a dad. I never go out unsupervised. I'm so pleased to hear about your eyes - that's GREAT. You'll really be able to enjoy Christmas now xxx<BR/><BR/>Blu - yes, mum loves it in France for that reason. Mum is on a tight budget too.

I am with "Lee" the top poster here - if puppies and babies were not cute they would be 10 deep in the rubbish tips! Sadly that is where some people leave puppies and even babies - its rare but it does happen even today.<BR/>It shall be my first Christmas at Casa Jicky and I am so looking forward to it. Oscar is sharing his doggy stocking (nothing in it yet) and tomorrow I go to the eye specialist and get the stitches out of my eyes (I had this prob for 8 years -ingrowing eyelashes-worst the specialist has seen!)My old owners did not take me to the Vet . I get this elizabethian colar off too! Fingers crossed that the Specialist has got out every ingrowing eyelash root or we repeat in 3 months. I am one lucky pug and with my eyes "done" I look at least 3 years younger! <BR/>Kisses Boyfriend and tell your Mother to walk real fast past those puppies and boyfriend , I do hope you have been "done" for I am not having a boyfriend with a rep like Gordon Ramsey!!!lady jickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09013352537776588166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5940678610715375217.post-45630329121547199272008-12-02T20:30:00.000+01:002008-12-02T20:30:00.000+01:00You're welcome to pass a doggy-meme (only) to me. ...You're welcome to pass a doggy-meme (only) to me. :-)<BR/><BR/>A note from Quasar:<BR/><BR/>Mom had a talk with Dad yesterday that she wants to enjoy Christmas this year, and if she wants to bake cookies he'll darn well eat them! Fat chance of that, though, because the oven is broke. :-/ I'm not sure who Santa Paws is, but Mom and Dad say I'm the only one he's visiting this year at this house! Mom's sisters-in-law expect high-priced gifts, which makes Dad anxious because Mom's family doesn't expect squat but are real happy if their kids get something. Christmas used to be fun, I hear, before Dad's Mom passed away.

That and a misplaced sense of debt. Where did this notion that people had to get and give presents come from - Xmas would be much better without it.<BR/><BR/>My loneliest Xmas was spent in Libya - I worked for a German firm and all the German families closed shop over Xmas and we single foreigners drowned our sorrows in illicit home brew.<BR/><BR/>Beyond that, I am overwhelmed in puppies and ex-wives.<BR/><BR/>Note: Puppies (dog & human) always look cute.
