the equivalent of 200 walks in just one night!!!

This post was written by Charlie's friend and sister, Sophie Mitchell.

It’s almost time for what my family call Christmas, and my family have been trying to get me into the spirit by dressing me into this silly red hat and scarf!! I don’t know what “Christmas” is or why it’s suddenly happening but if you could please tell my family that I don’t want to celebrate it by wearing stuff which makes me look weird I’d be very grateful!!!

However, the upside to Christmas is that I’m apparently getting loads of presents in the form of new toys to chew and perhaps even some extra tasty treats! I’ve also been partying nice and hard - the party don't start till I get there!!  As you can predict, my head’s been a bit sore lately!!

I look like the weird big dude in the red suit that everybody gets all excited about! Will this make me more popular with the kids in particular?  Apparently he travels with presents and a reindeer, so I have my work cut out!!  I have to get to all the houses in one night so that all the children love me! That’s the equivalent to 200 walks in just one night!!!  I’d have to sleep for the rest of the week just to be loved by kids!!

I have my old friend Sophie visiting who I’ve missed so much, she arrived last night and is always giving me loads of cuddles and walkies so she makes me very happy indeed!!!  But she’s toughened up on me and is being a lot sterner which has made me sad as it means no more extra treats from the dinner table for me!! 

I’m doing extremely well and other than a funny hair cut around my tail (which is very embarrassing, if I may say so myself!!!) I’m completely back to normal and just as bonkers! Sophie is amazed at my progress as are Mummy and Daddy!  I still love my walks just as much but can get a bit naughty sometimes! I tried to attack a dog called “Boss” today (Serves him right, there’s only one boss here and that’s me!!)
