Christmas Dog on Duty

I thought this was a pretty funny poem to ponder here on Christmas Eve.

CHRISTMAS DOG
By Shel Silverstein

Tonight's my first night as a watchdog,
And here it is Christmas Eve.
The children are sleeping all cozy upstairs,
While I'm guardin' the stockin's and tree.

What's that now---footsteps on the rooftop?
Could it be a cat or a mouse?
Who's this down the chimney?
A thief with a beard--- And a big sack for robbin' the house?

I'm barkin', I'm growlin', I'm bitin' his butt.
He howls and jumps back in his sleigh.
I scare his strange horses, they leap in the air.
I've frightened the whole bunch away.

Now the house is all peaceful and quiet again.
The stockin's are safe as can be.
Won't the kiddies be glad when they wake up tomorrow
And see how I've guarded the tree.

Merry Christmas Everybody!

Warning: Gratuitously Cute Puppy Christmas Video

This is a Christmas jingle produced for South Korean television. You don't need to know the language to enjoy this video and wallow in the incredible cuteness of puppies and kittens dressed in Christmas attire, barking and meowing out carrols and dancing around.



I think I may be sick. But in a good way.

Christmas Kitty Display

The Macy's store in San Francisco have actual cats and dogs playing in their Christmas window displays this year.

The marketing major in me says, "Neat idea."

The pet owner in me says, "Those neat displays aren't going to look that way for long."

Cat Head Masterpiece Theatre

If Shakespeare were a cat...

Very well done.
