I Did Get Something for Christmas...

And so did Riley! My aunt Christy, grandma, and grandpa got Riley and me blankets and our very own stockings with our names on them. Mom said I can't have my blanket til I'm older though 'cause I'll just chew it up (and she's right about that). I also got a new toy to play with. I really like it and carried it around everywhere with me last night. Also, mom and dad and some friends of theirs got us treats. My favorite! I guess maybe being cute does count for something because I got lots of good stuff for Christmas this year.

I Ain't Gettin' Nuttin' for Christmas

I heard mom say the other day that I'm not getting anything for Christmas because of the way I've acted this year. Well first of all, I don't know what Christmas is but I'm guessing it has something to do with the shiny tree in the living room that I keep getting in trouble for drinking the water out of. And if it means treats for me, then I think I'm very deserving of something for Christmas. I mean let's see...so I stirred up trouble with the neighbor's dogs by barking at them under the fence. So I chewed on the dresser a little...and the brick mold around the back door... and I destroyed a couple of dad's socks. I might have been mean to Riley a little by taking toys away from her, but really, she deserved that. And I might have eaten some of her food when I wasn't supposed to. But when you think about a whole year! Well that's a loooong time for a puppy like me to not get into any trouble. I think I did pretty good. I hope mom and dad reconsider and get me a little something for Christmas. I think being cute must count for something.
