NOT JUST FOR CHRISTMAS

Twas the night before Christmas,
And all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
With nary a thought of the dog in their heads.
And mamma in her kerchief and I in my cap,
Knew he was cold, but who cared about that?

When out on the lawn there rose such a clatter,
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
The dog must be loose; he’s into the trash!

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow,
Gave the luster of mid-day to objects below.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But Santa Claus with eyes full of tears.

He unchained the dog, once so lively and quick,
Last year’s Christmas gift, now thin and sick.
More rapid than eagles, he called the dogs name,
And the dog went right to him, despite all his pain.
Now DASHER, Now DANCER, Now, PRANCER and VIXEN!
On COMET, on CUPID, on DONNER and BLITZEN!
To the top of the porch! To the top of the wall!!
Let’s find him a home where he’ll be loved by all!!

I knew in an instant there were no gifts this year.
For Santa had made our mistake very clear.
The gift of a dog is not just for the season,
We had gotten a pup for all the wrong reasons.

In our haste to think of a gift for the kids,
There was something important that we had missed.
A dog should be family, and cared for the same.
You don’t give a gift, then put it on a chain.

And I heard him exclaim as he flew out of sight,
“YOU WERE GIVEN A GIFT!! YOU WERE GIVEN A LIFE.”

WORKING & PASTORAL BREEDS ASSOC SCOTLAND

After a months break and good job we took it as well as Cerise decided to come into season so the timing was really good for all concerned. Our plans for the month of was to sort out the house and garden as it was being sorely neglected. plus to spend time with family and friends. I was nice to potter for a change and slow down for a bit well for me not Colin as he got stuck in to his work and didn't really stop so haven't really seen him much to be honest so going to the show was good for us even if we didn't really spend time together. 

All the usual suspects were there and we had our usual laughs. A few didn't speak much but I have a thick skin so didn't care what they thought. 

I'll have to say both Colin and I need a night for ourselves again as its been a long time just us two. We need it to reconnect again as we do actually like each other hahaha!!!
