MERRY WOOFMAS
At Christmas, if dogs could talk, they'd
probably tell us that we'd gone bonkers.
Throughout the year they happily plod on in
their cuddly, companionable way, expecting
or wanting nothing in return except your love
and attention, a nice walk, some sniffing time,
a regular bowl of tasty grub and some clean

funny hats, bright jumpers and go round with
red bows tied to their collars. They go along
with all this because they vaguely remember
that last time all this frivolous nonsense
happened, there was some very tasty extra
food and drink too!
Fido's actually not as daft as he looks. He will
have noticed that, instead of getting the usual
quota of cuddles, his owner has recently been
spending even more time touching that
screen thingy that she always carries around,
and buying stuff online. So he doesn't mind
too much, because it probably means that
some 'Woofmas Christmas Beer' brewed

Christmas, make sure you have a good one.
