Humans never cease to amaze me with their silly ideas of what is fun.  But this Christmas tops them all!  Asa and I spent hours spreading our favorite squeaky toys all around the living room floor so on Christmas morning Mom and Dad could come down and choose which one they’d like to play with.  But do they even notice our gifts?  No!  Instead Mom was all giddy over a new refrigerator Dad gave her.  What’s so fun about a refrigerator?  It doesn’t squeak, you can’t play fetch with it, and based on Asa’s initial efforts they seem really hard to destroy.  In fact, I like the old refrigerator much better than this new one.  The old one was full of food and smelled wonderful inside.  This one is empty, and only smells of plastic.  And even more annoying is this one doesn’t leak water for us to lick up!  The only logical explanation for Mom’s excitement is that she was relieved that Dad didn’t buy her snow tires again.  He did that for her birthday one year…and not just any birthday, a BIG birthday!  I’m a dog and even I know that snow tires are an awful gift.  But to get this excited over a refrigerator, really?!

Luckily for Asa and I, we were on Santa’s Nice List and received many wonderful treats and toys.  Much better than last year when for some reason Santa thought I only wanted new blankets for my bed.  Humans can be so unpredictable!  I guess this just goes to show that humans should leave gift ideas up to dogs, because clearly we do a much better job.  Now if only they would appreciate our efforts!
