I hope all my blog pals have had a lovely Christmas. I have had a very nice time indeed with some presents, good food, and lots of attention. I have had some very nice forest walks and chased lots of deer, which made Hilary laugh as she sung the carol the Holly and the Ivy as that contains the line ” the running of the deer!”
But the biggest surprise wasa totally unexpected parcel which came in the post for me! It was from my wonderful friend Maggie, who I suspect is not actually a human as I have always thought, but a dog! She is certainly an honorary dog! Maggie kindly send us some Galaxy chocolate (for humans) a silly cat jangly toy (for Monty) and a Very Superior Huge Mud Coloured Egyptian Cotton towel for ME!! And to prove its mine it even has my name on it! It says “Spoilt Rotton Max”! Thank you Maggie it is really lovely and I will enjoy being wiped down with my own superior towel and not an old human cast off!!
I am glad you have had a happy Christmas, Max. I wish I could say the same. The horror never ends. Not only have I got the small stripey thing to contend with but on the Wednesday before Chistmas the entire tribe descended upon us – and is still here. There was one small good thing and that was that my beloved James was here. He even had to sleep in the basement. He has gone now so we are left with the rest. The small boy human is now 5 and probably one could get used to him but the small girl human is 2 and a bit and runs everywhere and together they are very noisy. In fact there are just far too many people in the house. It would not be so bad if I could escape from the small stripey thing but he gets everywhere. The really strange thing is that my humans seem to enjoy it all. Christmas Day was absolute chaos and I kept out of the way. They even had an extra human here to add to the ‘fun’.
The small sripey one (who is called Mixture after the organ stop) has been doing a very thorough job on the Christmas tree and there is not much left at the bottom.
To add to the fun it seems that the small female human has now got something called ‘chicken pox’ but it doesn’t seem to have made much difference to the speed she rushes about. They gave her something called a scooter as a present. This is a very dangerous object.
So I am looking forward to relative peace after the weekend.
