Peace and Joy!

Loyal readers, I have been overwhelmed by everyone's generosity this Christmas. We are all flabbergasted and speechless by so many wonderful presents. We are too overcome (and full of yummy food) to write about everything now - a full report will follow tomorrow. But I do wish to thank my Secret Paws, Dora the Explorer! I keep seeming to draw beautiful little torties to me, hehehe. Seriously, the parcel was just stunning and we have been playing with all the amazing stuff ever since - but I will say more tomorrow. But today, please accept a huge thank you, Dora and Kate.

We did look at the piles of presents and realised that our pile was so much bigger than Äiti's. She laughed and said that was how it should be, because being with us was her best present ever. So I let her do this to me!

I quite like being made to look even more handsome, and the Tolerable Comb is not so very bad. And many of us tried to do this as Äit lay on the sofa watching tv.

 Stran-veli does not often lie on laps, so this was a really nice present for Äiti.
And then Roosa joined in with some untypical behaviour - she loves a head rub but we don't usually see her tummy or toes!

We hope you have all had a wonderful Christmas like ours. We realise we are very lucky, much luckier than many in shelters and those out rough. If only we could help everyone........
