Da Bark Box arrival

Can we open it now?

Did I tell you dat Mom got me a 3 mo subscription to Bark Box as one of my xMas presents?  She's da best.

Well, my Feb box arrived and I was beside myself wiff excitement.

So I dove on in ....... and pulled out...

a Fire Breathing Dragon!

Look at all the great stuff I got?

2 stuffies, 2 packs of cookies and a chewy bone!

I am one lucky boy!

Don't tell Mom!

Update:  After I played with Mr. Dragon for a while and snacked on some cookies, I went back to chew on my Ol' Faithful and played wiff my good ol' bone.   

Da new stuff is fun, but my old stuff is da best.

Early Openings of Pressies

You'll never believe dis, butt Mom let me open a couple of my pressies early.

It's about dog-gone time!
Des packages have been sitting, unopened, on da table for like 87 days.

Da 1st one is huge and is from my Blogville Holiday Gift Exchange buddy Jack.

OMD.... dis is just what I wanted.

He sent me a huge cookie and TWO (yes I said TWO) brand new Stuffies.

One is a yellow Giraffe and da other is a Gingerbread Man.    I can't believe dat I have my very own Gingerbread Man.   Oh, oh, oh and dey both have squeakers in dem.   Mom loves da Giraffe as she can easily grab it when I have it in my mouth.

Just look at my haul!

If dat wasn't enough excitement, I also got to open up a wee little package from my girlfriend Daisy.    You know what dey say, good things come in small packages.

I wonder what's in dis one.

Lov ya Daisy & I love my pressies.

She sent me another squeaky toy, a scottie hotpad (for Mom), a cookie, and some Golden Nuggets (Yeti Dog Chews).  I've never eaten Gold before.  I'm gonna feel like a KING eat'in dem.

My Daisy sure know how to pack a ton of great stuff in a little box.

Thank you Jack and Daisy for my pawsome holiday pressies!
Des new stuffies are more fun dan dat old plastic pill case.

I can't wait to see what Santa Paws brings me.   I hope dat he doesn't know about my recent mischief mak'in (eating nerf bullet top and chewing up Sunday's topper).

Pees.....  Mom says dat I'm going to have a very special surprise houseguest to play wiff on Christmas.   I can't wait.

Ranger: 41 cards + 10 e-cards
Mom:  17 cards + 2 e-card

Oh.... I think dat Mom is cheat'in.   Ya see, her Birthday is Christmas Day, so she is getting Birthday cards too and count'in dem as Christmas Cards.
I decide to let her cheat since she will NEVER catch me and since she let me open up 2 pressies early.   Good of me huh?  I hope dat Santa Paws is paying attention.

"Throw in the Towel" Thursday

Arrrrrrrrrrooooooooo !!!!!!!     I got me a surprise pressies today!

OMD..... it came Arizona.

Wait till you see..... it is so pawsome......

It's a Scottie Towel !!!!!     Sweeeeeeeet!
Keep your paws off it Mom.
IT's MINE.

Da note says dat Kyla wanted me to have it and it's signed Stuart, Kaci Kali, Kismet and da Spirit of Kyla.

Thank you gang.   Y'all are da BEST.     I love it.   Now I just have to make sure dat Mom doesn't try to steal it.

What did Santa Paws bring me

Yes... Santa Paws did make it to NC on Christmas and I haven't told you all about it yet.

Now you're probably wondering if I got what was on my Christmas list.   I asked for

• A new tug toy.
• A new stuffie.
• A puppy brother (den I'd have a full-time play pal).  I just love puppies, just like you do Santa. 
• Some cookies/treats.

 Here's what Santa Paws brought.

But what about my puppy brother? 

I got:

• a bag of treats (yummy)
• 2 tug toys (yippy)
• a red spike ball (just like a my buddies used to have).   Mine even has a button da I can push wiff my teeth and turn it on.   It lights up, flashes, and and sings da Christmas Woof, Woof, Woof song.   It is pawsome.  
• And I got a blue stuffie in my stocking.

  Mom says dat da blue stuffie is my new puppy brother.

Dis is my new puppy brother?

I guess I should have been more specific and said I wanted a real live puppy brother.
Lesson learned.

Maybe next year.

I still got lots of cool stuff and I must admit dat I do love my blue stuffie puppy brother.   I even let him sleep wiff me in my bed.   Oh... and he doesn't snore.   But I don't know what to call him.   Mom says dat I need to give him a name.   Got any ideas?

I hope you got everything dat you wanted from Santa Paws.
