As usual, my monthly roundup is just a little bit late. (You also may have noticed that No Frown Friday was missing yesterday – I’ve been having some technical difficulties, so you’ll get that soon as well. I promise.)
Anyway, I hope you don’t mind too much. Enjoy this roundup of posts from November that put a big smile on my face:
That’s all, folks! Stay tuned for December – I’ll try to get that one to you before February. No promises, though.
Happy Christmas Eve! Bella and Tavish are trying to be extra good in hopes of staying on (or earning a last-minute spot on) Santa’s Nice List.
Santa's always watching? I did not agree to that.
It's a little creepy that he sees us when we're sleeping, right?

Today, I have yet another caroldy (and an adorable video) for you. Enjoy!
Hark! The Puppies are Playing
Hark! The puppies are playing,
With balls and other squeaky things!
Fuzzy puppies running wild,
Bring joy to each adult and child.
Playful, all these puppies try
To unwrap the gifts that you did buy.
Undaunted they will try again,
Until your Christmas feasting ends.
Hark! the puppies are playing,
Their cuteness will make your heart sing.

‘Twas the last No Frown Friday before Christmas and all through the blogs, my readers were wondering if I’d still post about dogs.
The answer is yes. Let’s do this.
Finally, this week’s video:

You may not know this about Bella, but she loves to give advice during the holidays. Our annual holiday card contains a handy tip from the dog herself, and this year’s is no exception. I’ve shown you a few outtakes from our photo shoot, but are you ready to see the final product?
Here’s the front:
Inside, you’re greeted by this photo, and some sage advice:
Bella Holiday Tip #42
If you want to stay off the Naughty List, adopt a little brother and blame everything on him.
Finally, we added this photo on the back:
He’s got the egg… who’s got the nog?
That last one isn’t the best quality, but it sure is funny. I can’t resist a holiday photobomb.

Do you send out holiday cards with your dogs (or cats) on them? If so, do you do a special photo shoot or use candid pictures you took throughout the year?

It’s time for some more caroldies! Let’s twist some new tunes today…
Here We Come A-Sniff Sniffing
Here we come a-sniff sniffing
Among the yards so green.
Here we come a-tracking
The squirrels that we have seen.
Food and treats come to you,
And to you your rope bone too.
And dog bless you, and send you, a pup this new year,
And dog send you a pup this new year.
Dog bless the family in this house,
Dog bless the felines too.
Should you get a dog this year,
Rescue’s the thing to do.
Love and snuggles come to you,
And some puppy kisses too,
And dog bless you, and send you, a pup so very dear,
And dog send you a pup so very dear.
Deck the Bowls
Deck the bowls with lots of food,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Share your dinner or else you are rude,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Don we now our eating poses,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Don’t ignore our furry noses,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Set some full food bowls before us,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
We’ll thank you with a barking chorus,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Eating gives us so much pleasure,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Today, our intake do not measure.
Fa la la la la la la la la.
We can smell the feast a-cooking,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
We’ll steal the ham when you aren’t looking,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Either way we’ll feel like winners,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
As we’ll have eaten five full dinners,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Apparently, I’m not the only one in the mood for caroldies today. Stop by Something Wagging This Way Comes to learn the lyrics to Here Comes Puppy Dog, The 12 Days of Christmas (puppy version), and I Walked the Dog on Christmas Day.

We had a guy working on the house last week, so the dogs were upstairs with me while he was there. Apparently the dogs were bored, so this happened…
Notice how Bella keeps looking at the camera. It’s like she’s saying, “See? I’m a good big sister. Letting the little guy think he’s tough…”
