"I was here first what makes you think you are cuter?"

• Well friends Christmas preparations started last week with a visit from the dog trainer!!!  As I truly expected it was Julie and Ed who needs the training and not myself.  The trainer said I was very handsome, very clever and super intelligent.  Correct on all counts I think you will agree.  Julie and Ed went to buy a book for me to read called "Puppy School" and I think I will pass it on to them once I have given it the once over
• Sadly the dog trainer reinforced this idea of neutering but the more I find out about it the less an attractive  proposition it looks

             "Here I am guarding our train"                    "Who is this feller in the sassy red suit?"

"Now why I am expected to guard the penguins?"

      "I am still more handsome than the polar bear"         "rocking horses? Whatever next, is it an invasion?"

• Now when it comes to decorating the trees I simply like to investigate what is underneath them and don't see why this is such a problem just because the tree normally ends up falling over

"must be something to eat under here somewhere"

• On to brighter things  have received a letter from Santa and a certificate which clearly states "Shergy has been very well behaved and has done what he has been told"  Julie thinks she must have been sleeping when this good behavior occurred.
• I also have a stocking hanging up with my name on which already seems to be filling up with goodies.  Clearly I am on the "good puppies" list.  Julie's stocking is empty

"Please note that my stocking is the biggest"

• A serious hunt is being undertaken for a Queen's nose!  Julie left three £20 notes on her desk and I tried to eat them in her absence.  When she returned I made them into many pieces.  Julie stuck them back together with sellotape and to her horror found that the Queen's nose was still missing on one note.  A reward has been offered for its safe return.
• Well must go and do my last minute Christmas shopping I will get back in touch with you after Christmas Day to let you know how my first Christmas went.
• As I won't be sending Christmas Cards this year due to the fact that the stamps are so difficult to lick and stick all that remains for me to say is:-
