Well Pals, the Juniors are both home so our Christmas starts here, with the prerequisite amount of fussing, ear rubs, stroking and general loving. We wish you a similarly affectionate Christmas. After years of socially distanced festivities, this is the first proper one in a while, and we will be seeing quite a few folk over the break. There might be rampent inflation, sky-high fuel prices, rail strikes, postal strikes, nurses and paramedic strikes, and South East Water giving the additional seasonal blessing of no water for large chunks of our county, but we have made it to this point, with presents largely purchased, everyone mainly well, and with water still coming out of our taps; a seasonally miracle! If anything fails, we’ll just chuck a log on the woodburner, prop ‘Her Indoors’ up in a corner with the cooking sherry and Quality Street, crack open the Lily’s Kitchen turkey jerky, and enjoy ourselves anyway!
Us furs are good at enjoyment. All I need is to be in the same room as ‘Her Indoors’, ideally touching, and I’m a happy fur. The apprentice, Bear, likes to do a bit of theft and chewing, so she’s had a couple of tree decorations and a brief flirtation with a knitted Christmas mouse which was ‘too high for her to reach’ but which was rescued from her jaws before any real harm was done, fortunately for her. It’s not a good idea to destroy items that ‘Her Indoors’ has hand crafted…. We were dressed in fetching festive bow ties, and whilst Bear can’t get to hers, she has already deaded mine. She really is quite helpful at times!
I have promised her that she can sign off our Christmas message, but I shall be breathing over her shoulder to make sure she does it right, after all, she is still an apprentice *passes keypad over*
*Squiggles and wiggles excitedly* Finally Pals, I’ve been trying to get onto this blog for months! *pushes Uncle Teds away*. What happens if I press this? 👍😳🤷♀️😔😱😡🤣😂 Ooooooh! I wonder what this wire does *has a quick chew* ⚡️🫥. Anyway, as Uncle Teds keeps reminding me *sighs*, I’m supposed to be wishing you all a happy Christmas. I’m so excited. There are Christmas stockings and apparently Santa Paws leaves presents for good furs so I should get loads! I hope all my Pals have a great time and Uncle Teds and I want to thank you all for reading our blogs, magazine columns and tweets. You are all pawsome - happy Christmas with joyous lickings from us both, especially meeee!
