296: Where did it go?

The year, I mean.  It doesn't seem very long since John & Jacky were preparing for. Christmas 2025, now Christmas 2025 ie almost upon us.  I assume that's why we hear the festive chant, "Merry Christmas, Go! Go! Go!"

I know all about the tradition of giving presents but it's very hard for a dog (even one as brilliant as me) to organise shopping, payment, being in to receive deliveries and so on.

So, I'll do my usual thing - get them up extra early (so they have more time to enjoy Christmas Day) - and ask to go in the garden for a toilet every time they sit down to relax (to help with their digestion).

Together we can have a simple but great rime - as long as they buy me presents of course.

Then there is the mystery of 2026 to handle, of course.  I think my health problems are improving so I'm looking forward to fewer visits to the vet and less irritation in my eyes and ears.

I believe the family (including me) is going on holiday to Norfolk in August so that's another thing to look forward too.

I think it's going to be a good year for me.

I hope you have a Happy New Year as well.
