‘Twas the Night Before Christmas

‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

The leftovers were put up in the fridge with care, in the hopes that in the morning they still would be there.


The dingos were nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of dog biscuits danced in their heads.

And Twilah in all her cuteness was on Cody’s lap, they had just settled in for a long Winter’s nap.

When from in the kitchen there arose such a clatter, he sprang from the couch to see what was the matter.


And what to his wondering eyes should be seen but a naughty Boover Hound and mischievous Beagle Bean!

With squishy wet noses and eyes full of glee, they had hoped to sneak some of our food for free!

They spoke not a word and went straight to their work, but with one quick shout they turned with a jerk.

More rapid than usual his critters they came, and he whistled, and cuddled, and called them by name.

Now Polly, now Lobi, now Jacky, now Volvo, on Twilah, on Kit Kat, on Ender’s Game!

Out of the kitchen, get out of here y’all, now dash away, dash away, dash away all!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all, from Tasha, Cody, Polly, Jack, Lobi, Kit Kat, Twilah, Volvo and Ender!

    THAT my friend was DARLING. I love love making fun posts like this!
    Are you ahead (time wise) of the States? Is it Christmas day now (or night?) I think you are 12 hours ahead, no?

    My baby brother was in the Navy a few years back and did a stint in Bahrain. (that’s kinda near you?? or not…I am not sure) but I think he was 12 hours ahead of us then…but I could be dillusional)

    Merry Christmas anyway and I hope your holiday is loving and warm!
    your puppers are sweet!

      Yeah, Bahrain is REALLY close by, just about an hour across the causeway bridge from us. In fact, we lived there for the past two years, we moved back home to Saudi this summer. Bahrain is a great place!

    Haha, that was great! You’re very talented. :P

    My dear pup is also a little counter thief.. I try to take it as a compliment that she finds my food too good not to steal..

    Merry Christmas! Hope you have an amazing day. :)

    So sweet! I love all your critters. We just have Lucy, but she’s probably as much trouble as three normal dogs. :) Enjoy your very illegal American Christmas in SA!
