I got to go see Christmas lights. I thought we were going for a walk when my people put my harness and leash on me, except that it was nighttime and cold and dark outside. I wouldn’t care anyway, because I like going anywhere, any time. But they put me in the car in my special seat and we drove. I got very excited and whimpered and whined a lot and they told me to shush, but I didn’t. It helps me cope.
Pretty soon we came drove up to a house with lights all over it and all over the yard and the trees. The whole yard was full of toys to play with! I have never wanted out of that car so much in my whole two years. There were snowpeople and angels and teddy bears and reindeer and everything and it was all lit up beautiful. Santa Claus was up on the roof!
My people talked a lot and pointed at things and after a while we drove away home. It was warm in my house and I got treats.
I have to go back to that lighted-up place. I just have to get out and pee on something. Well, I want to sniff on everything and bite some of it and rearrange it just a little bit. But I swear and I wouldn’t pee on it very much, as far as you know. Just got to leave a message that Brookie Was Here at Christmas time, in the darkest most beautiful time of the year.
