I knew something was up when my people started putting all kinds of decorations around the house, and all these new smells started coming up. Smells like turkey roasting, potpourri, and pumpkin pie. All those smells made me want some goodies so bad, I drooled in anticipation.
My humans told me about this dude named "Santa Claus" who came down the chimney with lots of toys and presents for good little puppies. I've tried to be good and not chew up too many things, but after all, I'm still just a puppy. Well, I wanted to see him come down our chimney, so I waited by the fire almost all night.
I waited so long that I fell asleep by the fireplace, long after the fire went out.
He must have snuck in while I was sleeping, because in the morning there was a bag of goodies for me. One of my new toys was a red stuffed thingy that I really love. I played with it all morning and wouldn't let my mommy or anyone else have it.
I think I may have played with it a little too hard, 'cause the stuffing was coming out of it. Remember I AM just a puppy. After a while I realized that I didn't take my nap this morning because of all the excitement. So I just laid down my head and caught a few winks.
After my nap it was time to play outside. That Santa dude brought me a really neat toy my humans call "bubbles". They look really fun and I try to catch them, but as soon as I do, they disappear. I don't care, though, because there's always more bubbles coming. It's fun to jump really high to try and catch them.
I've had so much fun today, I hope tomorrow is Christmas, too.
