It's Gizmo again.

Hello folks, sorry for popping in again, but i just had to tell you what a brilliant Christmas Day I had.
I woke up Christmas morning, not quite sure of where I was....but I did know that I was on a comfortable bed and I was warm......and there was a nice warm chap lying close to me. I snuggled up and gave his face a cursory lick, he opened his eyes and tickled my ears.
We got up and went downstairs.......yes those stairs were like mount Everest.......and I am not fond of them.....maybe this has something to do with my ballast taking me heels over head for the last three steps yesterday.....I felt like a right twerp.....landed in a breathless lump at the bottom.
When I got downstairs I was let out into the backyard to do a wee....when I came back in the house I was allowed to share a slice of hot buttered wholemeal toast.......cut into squares....believe me it was delicious.......and then I had another when the lady of the house surfaced.....I didn't tell her that I has already had one slice....well, it was Christmas after all.

I had a stocking with doggy nibbles in it and a squeaky toy.......and a rope pull too.
I felt like a king.
During the morning good smells came from the kitchen.......I wasn't quite sure what it was but it smelled good.......I went into the kitchen to investigate. As I did, the oven door was being opened and a tray of sausage and bacon rolls was being taken out.......one of them fell off the tray.....I claimed it figuring that it was sent for me.

Later on in the morning I had my lead put on and we went for a long walk along the canal bank......past the park and then back home along the ash path....that walk really stimulated my appetite, but I was going to have to wait awhile for dinner.
We went across the road for dinner......the people we went to had a lady Jack Russell, she is the same age as me, but not nearly as placid....she was a bit growly at first and tried to bite me a couple of times......I think she might just have been a bit jealous....anyway in the end we sort of had a truce......and sat under the dining table with our plates of food.

Before long it was time to go back home.....nice word that, home.......I DO feel at home...and I think I had the best Christmas day ever.
I hope you had as a good a christmas as I did.
