As you can see, I really got into Christmas this year, and it showed.

Thanks to everyone who sent and brought me gifts. I very much enjoyed my stocking and my candy cane bone, which I have become quite possessive of. (I'm a dog, I am allowed to end a sentence with a preposition) I get to chew on it for a few minutes at a time before one of the people comes and takes it away. The first few times they tried that, I was not happy about it. Finally, I carried the bone into my crate to keep them from getting to it, but Shane still reached in and tried to grab it. That's when I growled and made my mean face at him. I didn't think it was a big deal, but I got yelled at for it! Geeze, they need to calm down. Anyway, we spent some time talking about it, and they told me I could have it later, so whatever. I have since learned, though, that when they say "Ajax, enough" that I am supposed to get up and leave the bone so they can take it away. I do like carrying it with me all over the house when I have it though.

Thanks to everyone: Russ, Angela, Shane's family, Cassandra's family, and Brutus for licking my face for hours on Christmas Day. I can't wait to do it again. As a reminder, it doesn't have to be a holiday to give me a treat.
