Posted by Chunky - Bestest Dog In The World on the 16th March 2010
Sorry, but the excitement from all the dog toys and goodies I got for Christmas made me completely forget to blog. I hope in the absence of my canine literary genius, you have been suitably rested and refreshed, despite the horrendously cold weather.
Dog walking - avoid yellow snowmen
If you’ve been dog walking in London, Buckinghamshire or Hertfordshire, then you might have seen me. Or at least where I’ve been … the little yellow stains on the snowmen give that away rather indiscreetly. I’m afraid I just can’t help myself … they stand there so proudly and merrily as if they don’t have a care in the world. Well, they’re not smiling any more.

Dog toys
Christmas was good, thanks for asking. Of all the dog toys I got for Christmas, this Santa Claus was definitely my favourite. Would it be too clichéd if I called him Santa Paws? Alright then, fine. I’ll call him Albert. Tough rope legs and a soft beard made this supposed dog toy a hit with even the non-canines in the house - the kids couldn’t get enough of him!
Now that might have been my favourite dog toy. But my favourite all time present was from my auntie. 3, count them …. THREE cooked sausages. Nothing fancy schmancy in them. Just loadsa lovely pork!

A question of custom
I was also thrown out the back door for cocking my leg up on the Christmas tree when we first arrived, but how was I supposed to know that trees inside are averse to a little sprinkle? They sound a bit spoiled if you ask me.

Mounting Dog, Hidden Dragon
When we moved on to my other aunties to see in the New Year I got a nasty shock. We’d only been there a short time and I was stretched out in front of the log fire thinking life was bliss. Then in bowled my old enemy “Barclay”, a big black Doberman. We first met at a family barbeque in the summer. I’m not a coward and I don’t like to fight, but that’s not what this bad boy wants to do! Every time he sees me he tries to mount me (not a pretty sight!), and his owner thinks its funny. Mum understands, thank goodness, so when he made a bee-line for me, she came to my rescue. I did spend a couple of hours in the car until they left, but at least I was safe.
Hope all you dogs out there had a great Christmas and New Year.
Licks and wags,
