Hi folks,
I've been trying to teach the puds Christmas carols in the hope that I'll be awoken tomorrow morning by a beautiful cat rendition of Away in a Manger or suchlike. So far I have to admit that, quite frankly, it's not been much of a success, it's not that they haven't tried but they don't harmonise very well and sometimes it's hard to tell if they are trying to sing the same song!
. Suzie's present was a big suprise as a friend got it for her and gave it to me but apparently she wrapped it herself, it must have taken her ages to tie that big red bow with her small paws
. So far this has been the best Christmas I've had for years, it's nice to have the puds to spoil and the visits to see mum in the nursing home else I'd probably just mope around watching the tele, having the puds has kind of given Christmas a meaning and a purpose. It's only the last couple of years that I've started to get a tree again and buy pressies and wrapping etc. especially for the puds so that we can share a Christmas together as a "family". The old adage that giving is better than receiving is very true as I'm more excited for them having fun with their new toys and special food than I am for myself although if the boys have got me another hiddeous tie and a Val Doonagan style sweater again I'll not be too pleased.They've all been perfect angels regarding the tree, I thought it would get trashed again this year after my experiences last year but it's like they've already got the T.Shirt and, appart from Alfie repeatedly trying to eat it and dashing past it at great speed whilst playing they've been great, I think that Frankie learned last year that a five foot artificial Christmas tree won't support a 15lb genuine cat after he tried to climb it last year
Have a super Christmas and may all your Christmases be Feline
Cheers
Leigh
