| Twas the Night Before Christmas..... This was sent too me by a very dear friend.... Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there; The children were nestled all snug in their beds, With no thought of the dog filling their head. And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap, Knew he was cold but didn't care about that. When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a flash' Figuring the dog was free and into the trash.. The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow Gave the luster of midday to the objects below, When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, But Santa Claus - his eyes full of tears. He unchained the dog, once so lively and quick, Last years Christmas present, now thin and sick. More rapid than eagles he called the dog?s name. And the dog ran to him, despite all the pain; "Now DASHER! Now DANCER! Now PRANCER and VIXEN! On COMET! On CUPID! On DONNER and BLITZEN! To the top of the porch! To the top of the wall! Let's find this dog a home where he'll be loved by all!" I knew in an instant there would be no gifts this year, For Santa Claus had made one thing quite clear, The gift of a dog is not just for the season, We had gotten the pup for all the wrong reasons. In our haste to think of giving the kids a gift There was one important thing that we missed. A dog should be family, and cared for the same You shouldn?t give a gift, then put it on a chain. And I heard him exclaim as he rode out of sight, "You weren t given a gift! You were given a life!" Author Unknown |

| Yes, puppy buyers at Christmastime always make me nervous. I gave my Dad and his family a pup for Christmas one year (long, boring story). I knew in an instant they weren't going to love it, so I took it home with me. For 14 years I had the most awesome little Beagle you've ever met. Bozo was a sweetheart and had a great life. I have pictures of her windsurfing in San Diego. Now, that's a dog's life! |
