Happy New Year! May you make a new friend this year even if, as of 12:00 AM January 1, 2017, she’s threatening to scratch your nose.

New Year’s Resolution
As a Cat, my number one New Year’s resolution is to teach the Woofies the concept of personal space.
–Charlie
As Dogs, our number one New Year’s resolution is to sniff as many Meowie butts as possible.

The Biggest Bed
Is this your biggest bed, Humans? A bit tight, isn’t it?
I guess I’ll just have to rough it until you get something more suitable for me.

Love is Good
Love is good. Love makes oversized Woofies curl up into a reasonably sized coil, freeing up more napping space for us Cats.

Stockings
It’s important to keep clean all year long, but particularly in the winter as you don’t want the snow to outshine your pretty white stockings.

Establish your Authority
When you meet a large Woofie for the first time, it is essential to establish your authority.

A Good Brushing
A brushing from Human Daddy feels so good that we are willing to wait our turn patiently.
Mmmmm… The tummy brushing is the best part.

Double Standard
Humans, you would never, ever even think about putting antlers on the Meowies, would you?
I maybe should have asked for cat-like claws for Dogsmas.

Naughty List
Dear Santa Claws,
So this is pretty much what it looks like, but please let us explain. Human Daddy left us all alone to do some last minute shopping and Human Mommy abandoned us in favor of a late morning nap upstairs. What were two teething, bored, lonely Dogs supposed to do?
It’s Dogsmas Eve, Santa Claws, so we imagine that you are already in your sleigh, busy delivering toys to nice Puppies in the most distant time zones.
Surely it is too late to add us to the Naughty List?
Woofs and Wags,
Cosmo and Stella
Tree Inspector
I would never dream of damaging the Catsmass Tree, Humans. Au contraire! I’m the official tree inspector.
