I really like Dogmas. I get to eat prime rib and creme brulee. My people used to make me wear a Santa hat and reindeer antlers, which I hated but put up with! I used to go see Santa and get my picture taken but then that got boring so I don't do that anymore. I get to pick out gifts for my friends which is more fun.
2020
For Dogmas I got to go see friends and drop off presents for them and treats we made for their people. We went for a long walk. I also got lots of presents and treats. I helped cook and eat prime rib. This year, we made vanilla bean cream brulee with the special beans my woman bought and the vanilla sugar she made. It was really good! My man had vacation days so he was home longer like last year.

For Dogmas I got to go see friends and drop off presents for them and their people and go for a walk in the woods. I also got lots of presents. I helped cook and eat prime rib and vanilla bean cream brulee. My man had vacation days he had to use so he was home longer again this year.
2018
For Dogmas I got to go see friends and drop off presents for them and their people. I also got lots of presents. I helped cook and eat prime rib and I got a bonus - where we got our roast from made a mistake and it was too big to fit in the pan so I got some to eat raw! I got to go swimming the Saturday before Dogmas and my man had vacation days he had to use so he was home longer.
2017
I got to go visit friends to drop off presents. I got lots of toys and some yummy treats from friends. I helped cook and eat prime rib. I got my people a surprise gift - a mini-me! I still have presents under the tree and in my stocking so I'll be adding more pictures!

I finally caught Santa Claus! I delivered presents to my friends and ate prime rib. I got a bunch of toys from people too!
2015
Santa got away again. I'm starting to wonder if he might be a figment of my peoples' imaginations!!! I delivered presents to my friends and ate prime rib. I also helped take a bunch of dog food and dog toys to the vet clinic by my house for their supply drive.
Jonny and Sammy got me a squeaky pink dog. Beth got me a small squeaky loofa dog. Puka and Morgan got me a ball on a rope and a flat, crinkly, squeaky dogmas present. My people got me a flat squeaky lamb, some treats, and a playground ball. I also got to pick out a couple of toys we got for doggies in need. I picked a squeaky wreath and a squeaky lump of coal.

2013
No snow and Santa escaped my trap again this year! I got to deliver presents to my friends for Christmas and help my people eat their dinner. I ate a little too much and had a tummy ache that night but it was totally worth it. I'd do it again too!!!!!!
Jonny and Sammy got me some squeaky rope toys: a lobster, a fish, and a shark! Rubi and Beth (they do my massages) got me a bunch of stuff this year! I got a ball with ears that has a tail attached, Northwest Naturals (a local raw food company) chicken treats, Himalayan Yaky Yam treats, Wet Noses Sweet Potato Pie treats, and 2 filled bully sticks. Maury and Morgan got me a huge rawhide candy cane that is safely buried. Sunny, my next door neighbor, got me cookies. Katie & Berkley got me Zuke's Mini treats. My people got me a playground ball and a soccer ball (both have died horrible deaths) and a stuffed toy they call "Lambchop." I love Lambchop, lots of stuff that needs to be ripped off it like eyebrows, ears, tongue, tag, hanger!
2012
Christmas was a fun one. I got to go over to Jonny and Sammy's house and play for hours on Christmas Eve, steal dog food out of their bowl and have a lot of fun! Christmas Day I played, ate raw elk (yummmmm!), opened a few presents but mostly slept. After helping my people eat their roast cow for Christmas dinner, I took some people food over to Jonny and Sammy's and got to play again!
Jonny and Sammy got me a squeaky tug toy. Rubi and Beth (they do my massages) got me a squeaky flea and a hedgehog I can eat. The hedgehog is buried in a safe place! Maury and Morgan got me a ball on a rope and some treats. My people got me a new Jolly Ball with a handle, a Chuck-It doughnut looking toy, a bungee lion that rattles and squeaks, a squeaky tennis ball and a bone treat. There's still one present for me under the tree even though it's almost 2 weeks after Christmas but my hedgehog is buried under it!
2011
I had a really fun Christmas even though it didn't snow again! I didn't have to wear a Santa hat or reindeer antlers for my pictures (my people tried but I didn't cooperate so they gave up!) and I had really nummy food!!!!!
I got my picture taken with Santa and they turned out pretty good. My people wanted the pictures to be just me but I was having none of that! Even though I could see my people standing right there, I was sure they were going to run off and leave me there. I finally settled down. The money from the pictures went to a Beagle rescue.
Christmas Eve I dropped off gifts to some of my bestest friends. My BFF Jonny and his roommate Sammy got me a squeaky bear that has a rope inside him instead of stuffing. He has patches on his body so I love trying to pull those off. Maury kitty and his roommate Morgan got me a squeaky ball dumbbell! My woman's parents got me a dog that sings and barks and flaps his ears. I like to groom his feet!
Christmas morning I had raw turkey breast for breakfast. It was very exciting to have raw 2 days in a row!!!! I napped while me people opened presents and then I opened a couple of presents. I got a rubber playground ball that I killed, a new Jolly Ball to replace the one I ripped in half, a new squeaky tennis ball and a new soccer ball.
After I played with my rubber ball, I groomed by bear for a while then took a nap until dinner time. Dinner was more raw turkey. I also got some of prime rib and a smidge of mashed sweet potatoes when my people ate. For dessert I got to lick the creme brulee bowls. I don't get to have much of the dessert because my people say it isn't good for me to have too much food like that. I think they just don't want to share with me!
2010
My 4th Christmas was the best one so far! My woman made me a cat puppet and 2 blankets plus I got 2 new leashes and my stocking had treats in it! My BFF Jonny got me a rubber ducky, a squeaky squid and some treats!
I've started to get the hang of Christmas. I took some naps during the day so I wasn't exhausted by dinner time! For dinner I had beef and lamb stew and prime rib roast!
2009
I was so excited about my 3rd Christmas that I didn't sleep at all! I got one of my favorite toys, Sock Monkey, and a stuffed tree stump that has 3 stuffed squirrels that hide in it!!! And my stocking had homemade treats in it! I got lamb jerky and bones and a whole bunch of stuff.
For dinner I had lamb stew and prime rib roast. Num, num, num.
I had just settled down to take a nap when the phone rang and then my people started putting my toys up. That usually means my friend Katie is coming over. She's a toy killer and there aren't a lot of dogs that I like messing with my stuff. Katie's person had to take a family member to the human vet so Katie stayed with us for a few hours until someone came to pick her up.
2008
My 2nd Christmas was even more exciting than the 1st because I knew what it was all about!
On December 13 I went to a Christmas party at a local pet store and had my picture taken with Santa and I got a huge bag full of free goodies to eat and won a gift certificate for a free pizza from a gourmet pizza place and won a free bag of high quality dog food! A few hours after we got home, it started snowing and we had snow on the ground for the rest of the month!!!! We had so much snow that my man didn't have to go to work very much after that. Where we live doesn't own snowplows so we had to wait for the snow to melt but it stayed really cold and never really melted much!!!!!!
My woman put the Santa hat on me to get Christmas pictures of me in the snow. Still don't like that hat!
For Christmas I got some treats in my stocking, a big squeaky hedgehog, a steak flavored rope bone and a squeaky ball. Dinner was a lamb stew and prime rib roast! Christmas is still exhausting!!!
2007
My very 1st Christmas was very exciting!
My woman found a Santa hat and made me wear it with a bow attached to my collar. I was NOT happy about that but I cooperated as well as I could. I alternated between my "unhappy puppy" look and my "I'm going to kill you in your sleep" look.
I helped put up something called a Christmas tree and helped hang things off of it. A little later I helped put colorful paper on boxes and we put those under the tree. Then the puppy fence went up around the tree to help keep my dog bed out of the tree. I used to like to grab my big bed and fling it around the living room.
Christmas Day I got to help grill steak for breakfast! And then I got to open presents. I got a stuffed camel with squeakers and rattles in his feet and a squeaky bone!!! I got my people a picture ornament with a picture of me in my Santa hat.
Then it started SNOWING!!! I hadn't really seen snow so I wasn't sure why the rain was so cold and white but I really liked it. I stood outside for a long time watching the snow flakes fall.
Dinner was prime rib roast and beef stew! Christmas was exhausting!!!
