Punching Day

Howdy blogaroos! Squirmy here on December 26 – also known as Punching Day. At least that’s MY name for it. Other people call it Boxing Day. It’s the day after Christmas when everyone recycles their boxes. Or so they should. But that’s not REALLY why it’s called it. You can read about the origins of Boxing Day here:

Boxing Day is also a day when stores have big sales so that those dog toys you bought before Christmas- and which are now all chewed up – can be bought for a cheaper price! Except not in Nova Scotia. We don’t have Boxing Day sales until the day AFTER Boxing Day. Today everything is closed. Confused? Me too. Good thing I don’t shop!

We had a quiet Christmas. The Warden was home with us and we pretty much relaxed all day. BUT we also did open presents! You see us seriously waiting to grab them in the photo. You can’t see us shaking because it’s not a video. After the photo we were semi-calmly moved into the dining room where we shredded the paper. We got some cool chew things. At one point I decided they were all MINE. Guess what. They weren’t. And the Warden quickly reminded me that I need to share. Blah blah.

So it was a quiet Christmas- with the Warden spending an inordinate amount of time on the phone. “Catching up” with friends. Meanwhile we chewed our new toys.

But TONIGHT – Christmas happens AGAIN. Because Sue and Keith arrive!!!! Yee-haw!!! Ricochet targets return!!! We can’t WAIT!!!

We hope everyone had a lovely Christmas making merry memories. We hope you continue to enjoy this festive season for the next few days. Eat the cake and cookies and biscuits. Visit and call those you love. Don’t pee on the Christmas tree. And don’t break or destroy your new toys. At least not until the New Year.

OK. Gotta go for the morning walk – it’s finally light out. Hey – the days are getting longer! I’m spending every extra minute causing chaos. How about you?

Have a good one. Peace and paws up. Stay safe. JBJ.
