I have it on very good authority that there are going to be some extremely lucky pets out there during the festive season. And I am guessing that this will include..me!
I read that some owners will be lavishing at least £1,000 on their pampered pets this yuletide. Yes, you read it right, a grand on things like diamond-studded collars (yes, please), mahogany beds (the quilted duvet bed is so passé!) and a doggy puffa jacket, whatever that is. I think it might be for the chavs.
I am getting quite excited, wondering what Santa Paws will be bringing me this holiday season.
It’s highly likely to be something big or expensive because the mistress has been decluttering! Oh yes. To make way for…my present, I think!
Her best friends have been making a fortune on eBay and Amazon, by flogging their old stuff that they don’t want anymore. So, perhaps to demonstrate her own entrepreneurial spirit and eagerness to create more space at home, she decided that she too would sell stuff she didn’t need, mainly books, CDs and the odd talking book on tape. Personally, I would have kept the talking books but apparently that’s old technology now.
And then the ranting started. First it was just at the screen. “One pence. Just one penny for a hardback book? Surely that can’t be right. And just 12 p for a double cassette…” She then proceeded to tell anyone who would listen that people just don’t know the value of things anymore…
So, she has done the decent thing, and donated everything to charity. Quite right. If your stuff is selling for under a pound via a website, think again and give it to your favourite cause instead. To give…is...to receive!
I figure by giving her undivided love and attention, she will be giving me something extra special this year! After all, diamonds really are a girl’s best friend.
Woof Woof
