Just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone. Mom’s been singing ‘All I want for Christmas is my two front legs’ all day. Hahaha isn’t she funny. My two-legger brothers and sisters just roll their eyes when she gets their way. I roll on my back. That usually gets her to stop acting goofy and rub my belly. I’ve been sleeping on the bed all day and dad hasn’t even one time said ‘hey, what are you doing up there’? He loves to do that and watch me jump out of my skin. I always think I’m in trouble until he laughs and rubs my ears. Humans- sick senses of humor let me tell you! I was pretty happy to see mom this morning. I was kenneled next to a grumpy boxer for the past three days. I was glad to get out of there! I was surprised to see it was mom that came to get me. It seems there for awhile I kept meeting new faces everytime I was left. Nice people. But not my family. I feel like I’m in a family now. Thanks to everyone who helped me get here. There are too many to name. Everyone keeps saying how special I am but come on- what about all of you? You’re special, too. All the people that helped make this happen. It’s just too much to think about. I’ve slept all day except some time to eat and do those necessary things you should never do in the house. I would never miss a meal that’s for sure! I may not have time to get on here for a few days. You know, Santa Paws is making his trip tomorrow night so we’re busy here making ready! I helped mom wrap presents today. I saw a new Kong toy (my favorite). Suppose it’s for me? There were some balls and a couple boxes of treats. Mom said I’d have to share. I’m so excited! Well, mom’s putting everyone to bed so that means I better go find my spot right in the middle of dad’s side of the bed. He really loves trying to make me move before he lays down (and they say dogs don’t have a sense of humor). Hugs to all and to all a good night!
