I've changed my mind about Santa Paws - Bah Humbug
I've decided I don't like Santa Paws anymore! Christmas can be cancelled and he can stay away if this is what happens. My Mom made me have a face bath today. She said I have to look my best for Santa Paws and our visitors for Christmas. I HATE baths,  especially face baths.  I knew it was bad when she got all the shampoo and stuff out so I ran away despite the offer of my favorite biscuit. I went and sat on the sofa with my Dad. When my Mom waved my favorite biscuit at me I sniffed and stretched out my neck as far as it could go but I wouldn't get off the sofa, so she had to carry me to the bath. I was very uncooperative when it came to blow drying. I really hate the dryer on my face so now my face is only three quarters dry and I've rubbed it all up and down the sofa. It makes Mom cross as now my hair is all sticky out instead of nice how she brushed it.  My Mom says it doesn't matter that my face is still damp 'cause it's over 102 degrees today! Whatever!!She used her own hair brush with the blow dryer, 'cause she forgot to bring my brush into the bathroom and she said it was too much bother to get out and back into the bathroom without me escaping. Now her hairbrush has all my face hair in it.  Serves her right, if she didn't bath my face none of this would have happened and her hairbrush would be still clean.Only good thing is I got my biscuit after my bath.  BAH HUMBUG, from Tiggy the newly converted Christmas Grinch. |

| Dear Tiggy, Remind the uprights that Santa Paws  expects them to leave cookies and milk out for him to make Christmas Eve more bearable as he flies around delivering gifts. Suggest to them that he's a SHORT, jolly fat man and they should leave the milk and cookies close to the floor. Just saying. This should help make up for the indignities of the pre-Christmas bath. Not by much, but it's something.Yours in grinchdom , Sybil  |
| Not even Leonard was spared the indignity of a pre-Christmas bath. Then he was dressed up as Rudolph and forced to be the greeter at a holiday party. Leonard also said bah-humbug and tried to steal the Christmas food from the counter as an act of protest... Or a love of food you'd have to ask him. Ru was happy he didn't have to dress up as Rudolph this year, he is too shy to be an official party greeter. Bah humbugs all around!   Official duties over, passed out under Christmas tree.  |
| Tiggy - You are so lucky...our mom washes our faces nearly EVERY single day. We lean over the bathtub and get a shampoo and sometimes conditioner. But then we get to play tug with the bath towel...so that part is fun! And because we go places after our faces are clean, we know that good stuff is happening! We are missing mom now, as she is gone with her human daughter, who is in the hospital having baby Owen very early (32 weeks). We actually miss our face washes  Chewie and Bond |
Awee... it'll all be worth it Tiggy when all those guests come over and want to kiss, love, and play with you. Then you'll see why mommy had to be so mean.  |
| Dear Chewie and Bond, you guys are nuts. We don't have a bath tub (thank goodness). I had my face bath in the shower with a waterproof apron on to keep my chest and legs dry (red and white stripes are not a good look) . My Mom has tried using buckets but she says it nearly took longer to mop up the floor than it did to bath my face, so I don't have to have lots of face baths and I am glad. Ever since I was a puppy I hated the face bit of the bath and the blow dry tickles my nose. I think dirty faces rock. I don't care what Mom says about the nice smelling conditioner, she can just keep combing out my face at grooming that gets rid of the grotty bits and I'm happy with the sour smell that took me weeks to cultivate. I am impressed with Sybil's suggestion and I will be agitating for cookies and milk to be left out on the coffee table.  Even though it goes against my new principle of not giving Santa Paws anything. I can see the benefits in keeping him in cookie so he can ummmmm  get out of my house faster. I will guard the cookies and milk closely because I know that Rowdy cat loves milk and he might steal it. I plan to sacrifice my sleep and stay up after everyone else has gone to bed and guard the cookies from all harm. It's the least a Christmas grinch can do!  As for reindeer antlers? IN YOUR DREAMS.  |
| Tiggy, Reminding you that antlers are the newest greatest chewies up this way  (deer and elk, so why not reindeer, eh?). Further, upright tells me that reindeer meat is considered a bit of a delicacy where she comes from. She just spent half the morning driving from store to store looking for the lamb that goes with her Norwegian menu (I was riding shot gun, defending the car from maurading last minute shoppers). Had she but thought that one through I would have told her I'm happy to secure some nice reindeer steaks instead.  Considering Santa will visit you first, please leave a few reindeer on the hoof if you will for those of us in this hemisphere.  Thanks, hon! Sybil |
| Ahhhh......Tiggy you have the same issues as Monty, yet your mummy still keeps your chin so beautifully clean. Monty wanted to share his bath time pictures with you on the pictures page so that you know you are not alone. He agrees that dirty faces rocks, and sour face smells are the best and wishes that Santa would hurry up and go away so he didn't have to smell all pretty for the family. |
| Tiggy, This is Santa Claus...Despite you saying you don't like me, I will be bringing you something special for Christmas Day...Just don't bite me on the way out! |
| Eevee didn't get a bath, but she did get every inch of her fur brushed out and got a nice butt trimming! |
