About Me

My photo
I'm a dog. Dog is good! I was born in 2007 on the day after Christmas, which makes me a late present... I live in Marin, California with my human daddy, Dan and human mummy, Angela. They wanted to adopt a rescue puppy and although they were pre-approved, the organization declined them at the last minute because they work (while also telling them that dogs are expensive to keep). Mummy and daddy were very sad but it all turned out for the best - we all got to rescue each other and they get to spend their hard earned money on me! I'm a lovable chap and enjoy swimming, snow, tennis balls, cuddling and having my tummy rubbed. Not necessarily in that order.

A Merry Milo Christmas!

I love Christmas!! It’s always so exciting because there are lots of new toys, lots of food and I get to spend a lot of time at home with mummy and daddy. This year I got to spend extra time with daddy as he was off work for a while before Christmas. His doctor fixed his elbow as it had been hurting him for a year. I just recently found out that I have a possible tear in my back knee and very early stage arthritis in my hips, so daddy and I can hang out on the TV rug together and get well again.

In preparation for Christmas, mummy put up a Christmas tree. It looked beautiful - all sparkly lights and baubles. It sits on top of the counter so I can't accidentally knock it over or get my tail caught in it. Instead of putting a fairy on top of our tree, we had a silver silhouette of me with a star on my tail! I think I look much better up there than the fairy, although some of my two-legged friends seemed to think I was doing something naughty on top of the tree!

On the morning of Christmas Day, I was allowed up on the bed with mummy and daddy and we had a Christmas cuddle. I love starting the day off that way - their bed is much bigger than mine. I like daddy to wrap me up in the duvet so that I can pretend that I am in a den.

It’s a tradition but every year I take mummy and daddy out for a Christmas hike. It’s great for working up an appetite for Christmas dinner. The weather was drizzly and cold this year but we still had a romp up on Ring Mountain. The view over to the city wasn’t bad either.

When we got back from our Christmas hike, we opened our presents. I had loads more than anyone else!!
I even got a Christmas sweater!! Apparently this is a human tradition at Christmas time. I suspect that humans probably feel much the same about their Christmas sweaters as I did about mine...

Another Christmas tradition is to watch a film and fall asleep. That tradition is not too difficult for me as I always fall asleep on the TV rug! I am off to do that right now, so this is Milo wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!!!
