Howdy doody blogaroos! Squirmy here on a terrific Tuesday. Just sitting here waiting for presents to appear. Why presents? Well hello – today is the birthday of Saint Nicholas! You know Saint Nick – the 4th century bishop of Myra. The guy whose “day” is December 5 or 6 – and who is associated with gift giving. Many think of him as the model for Santa Claus. Well – today is his birthday! So I think we should do gifts all over again. The date in December is when he died. And that’s fine – but hello – why can’t we also celebrate when he was born?! Makes perfect sense to me. Treats all around!
So Crufts 2022 is over for this year and Sunday ended with the grand finale – Best in Show. The last group (the Gundog group) was judged – and ta da- the winner of that group, Baxer, the Flat Coated Retriever went on to win the grand prize. The Warden was watching it on livestream, and while she thought all the dogs were lovely, she REALLY wanted Baxer. So she was cheering and clapping and all excited. Meanwhile, two of us were celebrating Best in Show by digging a new pond in the backyard – and rolling in it. Kind of our sentiments about beauty pageants.
Not much else here new. We play, we walk, we run, we train, we follow the Warden from room to room, we snuffle, we bark at birds, we bark at bunnies, we bark at nothing, we follow the Warden, we lick each other, we lick ourselves, we sometimes nap, we stare at the treat jar, we follow the Warden, we do inventory in the fridge, we bark at the vacuum, we attack the vacuum, we dig, we pace, we patrol the yard, we literally count the minutes until mealtime…..That’s a pretty typical day. I think we need some excitement around here. Hey – maybe Saint Nick could bring me a kitten. Wonder if it’s too late to ask.
Have a good one. Peace and paws up. Stay safe.
