The Second Treasure of Christmas

Today was so exciting that I’ve already carried two treasures – and we haven’t even gone on our evening walk yet! The second one happened so fast that I don’t have any pictures for you, so let me show you my first, beautiful find this morning:

The Ghost of Cinnamon Rolls Past

Unfortunately, the cinnamon rolls were gone, but there was some of that icing on the lid, just waiting for me!

Now the second treasure of the day happened at PetSmart. My brother and I went there to get me some food: he was looking for reduced-calorie, for some reason. I think I almost have the moves perfected, so let me share them with my four-legged friends. I’ll bet you’ll be getting more treasures in no time:

1. Find a rawhide bone on one of the lower displays and grab it.
2. Put up a fight to let go of it, but not too much. This is important, because it puts everyone at ease.
3. Wait until your brother or sister is distracted. I waited until my brother was trying to talk to the saleslady, get out his credit card, and punch in his rewards number, all at the same time.
4. Grab another treasure! This time, make sure that you have a really good grip on it. Don’t let go. Your patience will be rewarded.

In our case, the lady was so nice, she said, “Oh, Winston, that can be my Christmas gift to you.” Wasn’t that thoughtful? Anyway, I had it all eaten before we got back to the boat, so I’ll show you the happy dance I did in the parking garage, instead:

Whiskey Tango in the Parking Garage

My brother calls my little dance a Whiskey Tango. He can have the whiskey, and I’ll do the tango. That’s one of the many reasons we get along so well!

I also heard that today is the Feast of the Holy Family. That’s so cool, because we go to church at Holy Family when we’re back home! I often wonder what kind of dog Jesus, Mary, and Joseph had. I’d like to think it was one of my great-great-great-great-grandparents. If you know the answer, please let me know!

Well, it’s time for my new dog food. I’ll see you tomorrow!
