CHRISTMAS EVE STORY

Cold. Snow. Ice.  We will never get to go on long walks at the fairgrounds again.  Mom is missing spending time alone with us, on our walks, but hers can't walk anyway so even if it was sunny and warm we would have to stay at home.

Angus's first Christmas.  Remember how he waited each and everyday for Santy to call him so he could help and be a sub reindeer, and remember how Santy nevers called him.  Well, we girls noticed he was pretty sad and upset about it so wesa all sit down one night and had a family meeting.  We were cooking up a plan so Angus could see his dream come true.  So here is what we did.

Remember that big ole stocking on our wall that was filled with surprises from mom and dad and presents from Santy.  Well, it had treats, chews, stuffies, and all that stuff in it, we just knew it did.  AND we also had that big ole bag of chews from Jones Natural Chews that Flea and her Hunny had brought to us.  So we told Gussie that Santa needed his help with one more thing.  We toles him Santa was running behind on his schedule and that he needed Gussie to do a special delivery from him.  Well, little Angus perked right up and ran into the closet and got on his winter coat.

He hauled that big ole stocking off of the wall.


And he picked up that sack of Jones Natural Chews

It was sooo heavy for him, that he ripped it right down the side.  So we just loaded all those treats up into our big ole stocking.  Well it was so heavy us girls had to help Gussie take it out to Moms little blue streak.  We all put our warm coats on cos it was actually 17 degrees BELOW zero and the wind chill was 25 below.  



We turned on the Christmas music, got in our seatbelts, and Mom shouted on Stella Rose, on Margaret Mae and on Angus McConnell.  We were all a laughing and Gussie was a beaming.

We drove through the night and came to a gate that said Dog Sanctuary. We beeped our little horn and this lovely woman came out and open the gate for us.  We saw big dogs, and bigger dogs, and biggest dogs.  They were barking and running and happy to see us.


(These are old pictures cos it was to dark to take new ones)

We told her that Santa left a package at our house and Angus needed to do his job and deliver it here at her place.  Angus recognized her right off the bat as his teacher when he was going to puppy college and he showed her he still knows how to SIT and LAY DOWN, he even listened really well to mom when she called his name.  He also told her all about his mission and how he and his girls wanted to bring their stocking to give to these doggies, who are waiting on their forever homes.  Ms. Melody gave us all a hug and told us thank you.  We also told her that not only was Angus doing a job for Santa he was doing a job for Rory.

On our way home, Momma shared that  little secret with us also.  Remember our friend Rory the Great Dane, who lost the use of his back legs, and how much we all really really wanted him to get to come home for Christmas.  Well, we tole his Momma once we found out that he got to come home, we wanted to do something really special in his name.  Mission Successful.

We slept all the way home, and listened to Christmas songs playing in our hearts.  Angus told us this was the best first Christmas evers!!!

  17. He did a splendid job. Bet Santa is sorry he passed him up....maybe next year. That was a great idea. Lots of happy puppies.

    We heard Rory has taken a few steps, so we have our paws crossed.

  19. The joy of sharing just can't be beat--doesn't it just make your heart glad, and such good, good news about Rory.

  20. Well Little Puggie Mates, you've gone and done it. Mum's sooking and leaking (again!). She is humbled by all this support. We know that it is because of friends like you and others in Blogville that have helped Rory get back on three legs. He is trying his best but we have to wait and try some more. Mum still has to help carry his back end and she says all his weight must be in his, er, well, butt! Sometimes she has to help him all by herself and it is very hard butt she knows everybuddy is behind her, wishing and hoping to see Rory back on all four legs and able to walk again.

    Thanks you from the bottom of our hearts dear mates. We will never forget this. No worries, and LOVE, Stella and Rory

  22. OMD! I love this story! You make a perfect reindeer, Gussie. My peep read me "Olive, The Other Reindeer". I really think you need to read it, too. It's about a dog that helps out Santa. It's the best. Santa knows he can count on doggies!

  29. Dear Stella Rose,This sounds like the best Christmas ever-what a present to give away some special treats to those who might not have any. I'm so proud of all of you because it did take all of you. May the New Year bring lots of treats, health and happiness to you all.
