It's nearly here!!

Can you believe it's Christmas Eve already?!

Happy Christmas Eve everyone!

We had a Harry Potter party at our house last night. It was something the Girl Of The House and her boyfriend organised for four of their friends - but the Lady and Boy of the House got into the spirit as well dressed as Dolores Umbrage and Severus Snape respectively.

The GOTH was really busy all afternoon making butter beer, and sweet potato pie (because she couldn't find pumpkins) and chocolate frogs filled with peanut butter.

There wasn't really anything greyhound-friendly on the party food table - so I'm hoping for something special in my doggy Christmas dinner tomorrow to make up for it.

I watched a bit of the first Harry Potter film with them - but when they started calling me "Fang" I decided to retire to my bed in the kitchen and leave them to it.

Butter beer and the rest of the party food (note spillages on tablecloth - clumsy humans)

Chocolate frogs - not for dogs

So, all that remains to be said is have a lovely day tomorrow and I hope the big man brings you some great presents tonight.

Lots of love from Winnie xxx

Ho Ho Ho!!!

Santa sent more snow

Last night was very exciting in our house (this is by OUR standards of course).

There was a knock at the door, and then the Lady Of The House, The Man Of The House, The Girl Of The House and even the Boy Of The House started a rather embarrassing scrabble around the house for coins to give to the people at the door.

I wondered what was going on, and then I could hear music and bells.

The MOTH found some money in the end, and then the LOTH popped my lead on and took me outside.....and guess what??? It was Santa on his sleigh!! His voice was booming out saying "Just four sleeps and I'll be back soon to see you all!!"

There weren't any reindeer though so I'm not sure how his sleigh was moving but it was covered in lights and I could see him really clearly and he WAVED AT ME!!

Then his sleigh started to turn around outside our house (because there's no more road) and there were children outside getting all excited and I heard Santa boom: "Mind the car children.... I mean, THE SLEIGH".

Then he was gone and we went back inside.

But this morning when I woke up there was snow everywhere. Me and the LOTH walked down to the village. I kept stopping to smell all the smells. I kept sticking my head in bushes and getting snow on my head.

A nice lady waiting at a bus stop said to the LOTH: "AAahhh! He needs little boots on". Which would have been a nice thing to say if I had been a boy. (But she wasn't to know with my big coat on).

But I'm fine and it's actually warmer than it has been in a funny sort of way.

Stay warm and safe everyone.

It's Santa and the MOTH!

With all the bad weather I've been a bit worried that my letter to Santa might not get through....so this morning the Man Of The House nipped out very early because he had heard that the great man himself was calling in to Burton Albion's football ground.

The Boy Of The House thought he was a bit big to sit on Santa's knee, but the MOTH came to the rescue and he sat on Santa's knee and told him I'd been a good girl all year.

And the good news is that Santa's promised to do what he can for me and ALL my dog friends.

Hurray for Santa and the MOTH!!!

Keep warm this weekend friends - and be careful if you are going out.
