I don’t know about you, but Christmas wears me out.  There’s so much to eat, so many visitors to say hello to, and so many new toys to play with.

Like my new super-squeaky hamburger. It’s the squeakiest one I’ve ever had, and I’ve had hours of squeaking happiness since I got it on Christmas day. Mama says it’s the last one I’m getting – probably because she’ll never be able to find one as good and squeaky as this again. But I’m willing to help her try.

Now it’s all over, I’m just sooo tired. I just wanna curl up in mama’s bed and sleep, sleep, sleep.  In between walks, of course.

Photo: Byron at the pound before his rescue

This sad-looking boy is Byron.  He was tied up at the pound when this photo was taken.

But don’t worry, Byron has just been adopted, in time for a big family Christmas in Canberra. So he’s very, very happy now.

Byron is an American bulldog.  But don’t go thinking he’s a tough guy just because he looks tough. He’s a very gentle, loving boy. He loves and cuddle and a kiss (don’t you love that black kisser of his!).

Meet my friend Elle. She’s gorgeous. In fact, she’s delicious (well, mama says she’s chocolate, so that must mean she’s delicious.  Mind you, I don’t get to eat much chocolate, but the tiny bits I’ve had have been delicious).

Elle lives with Derek and Andre in Bentleigh, which is not too far from where I live.  Derek used to work with my mama (and secretly, mama hopes they’ll work together again one day because she thinks Derek is ace).

I’ve heard humans saying that Christmas can be a stressful time of year. I didn’t really know what they meant until I saw this… now I realise that doggies can find it all a bit much too.

I can’t think of a better way to wish you a Merry Christmas…  This is my pal Augustus.  He may be tired, but he’s full of the Christmas spirit!
