Some Advice from Dear DeDe!
Oh Dog! Dear DeDe here with some advice for you dogs and cats out there!
I just found out that Santa is hiring extra labor this year!
Indeed!
Jen came home with some yummy-smelling bags and such Friday, but instead of showing us what was inside, she put them up high in the closet and told us to stay out! Even June Buggie!
According to Jen, Santa has an exceptionally high number of recipients on the NICE list, and all those gifts just won’t fit on his sleigh. So he’s asking humans to provide storage for him. Jen says he’ll pick these presents up when he delivers our gifts and deliver them to good dogs and cats in California.
So if YOU find a stash of Christmas presents hidden somewhere in your house, STAY OUT! That just means Santa has hired your mom or dad to store gifts too.
Who knew that Santa was so smart?

Oh Yes! I remember that my mom was putting a big bag in her closet, too making sure nobody was looking at her!!! It must have been Santa’s presents which he asked mom to hide!
Sooooo excited for coming Christmas! Have a lovely Sunday, Dear DeDe!

December 2, 2012 at 8:51 AM

Thanks, DeDe. There IS one of those secret bags at my house. It smells like Canine CarryOuts, and I think I can see panda fur through the bag!! UGH! It’s so hard to wait!!
Love and licks,

it’s BJ. When Santa sees my Hanukkah lights, he drops a gift anyway, just so I don’t feel left out. I really appreciate that.
December 2, 2012 at 11:08 AM
Santa loves ALL kids. woo woo woo!
December 2, 2012 at 3:01 PM
Wow! Do you post about that at your blog? I don’t know much about Hanukkah.
December 2, 2012 at 2:16 PM
This ‘splains a lot, fanx. We are decoraring for Chanukah today, Yaay, me lubs those blue lights, presents, and potato latkes. Happy Holidays to all pals!
December 2, 2012 at 3:00 PM
Oh Dog! Do you post pics on your blog? I’d love to learn more about it.
December 2, 2012 at 11:18 PM
Rumpy gonna be pawticipating in a Chanukah Blog Crawl with some others to explain about the holiday of Chanukah who are not familiar. We will talk of the history and the traditions that are part of the celebration. Should be good and fun for all pals!
December 2, 2012 at 2:32 PM
It’s very funny, DeDe. We actually have seen Mom put stuff away for all us kids (2 and 4 legs) and she always tells us to pretend we didn’t see it!
By the way, we keep trying to “like” your post, but WordPress tells us our password is wrong. Haven’t changed our password, so not sure what the problem is. Sorry!
December 2, 2012 at 4:21 PM
I don’t know either. Perhaps you should log in and out of your Gravitar account?
December 2, 2012 at 3:06 PM
LOL! Great advice, DeDe
December 2, 2012 at 4:21 PM
Thanks Sue! I’m just trying to get the word out!
December 2, 2012 at 3:46 PM
Oh, so that’s how he does it!!! Maybe Mom needs to explain that to the grandkiddos who are always poking around where she tries to hide pressies. Thanks for the tip, Dede. We are off to scout around and see if Mom has tucked some things away for Santa to give the Kansas pups.

Yeah! If they found and played with those gifts, they might end up on Santa’s Naughty list!
December 2, 2012 at 6:54 PM
Oh, so THAT’S what’s happening! Thanks for clearing that one up DeDe. x
December 2, 2012 at 10:06 PM
Oh Wow!

Thanks Dee Dee!

I never snoop, I love to be surprised
December 3, 2012 at 2:19 AM
Yeah…we found one of those bags, but we were relentless…so mama gave in and let us have a taste!! xoxo Chloe and LadyBug
December 3, 2012 at 11:03 AM
This explains a lot, Dede! I was feeling sad that there are some tasty treats just out of reach, but now I am feeling pretty excited about my mom being one of Santa’s special helpers
