…everywhere you go! Last year my mom gave us each a calendar for Christmas with photographs of the family bulldogs, Winston and Lucy. Inscribed on the card, was that 2008 would be “the year of the bulldog”. Little did we know it really would be “the year of the bulldog” in the Fenderales household. Our greatest gift came early – adopting our little Cookie on January 20th. I can’t believe we have known her almost a year. In celebration of our year with Cookie, I decorated our little Christmas tree in a bulldog theme accented with red and white ornaments (Cookie’s signature colors!).
Of course, all the presents under the tree are for our baby. I want her to have a great first Christmas with us so I’ve made her a personalized stocking as well.
Santa might bring her an orange, an apple, a peanut butter bone and some other treats if she is nice and not naughty. Maybe a new fleece blanket and a super absorbent towel for the bath even! She met Santa yesterday at PETCO where she got her photo taken after ingesting about ten treats. She always goes bonkers in PETCO, and this occasion was no exception. She totally trashed the “set” and I volunteered to re-tape the fake snow batting to the floor before we left.
We are looking forward to a festive holiday season. Already Cookie has been spreading cheer by sporting her Santa hat around town. People always smile when they see her, but this makes them giggle. Cookie wishes everyone a happy, safe and healthy holiday season.
