A Little Christmas Cheer

I think 20 misses going out to all the festivals and events (except probably the part where all the little kids want to stick their fingers up his nose ;-).  When I saw that the vet clinic was offering pictures with Santa I knew he'd be excited to get out and go visit with his old friend.

You may not know that 20 is one of Santa's helpers.  When Santa gets too busy to keep an eye on everything that goes on around here, he relies on 20 to be his eyes and ears.  Usually 20 just reports in with a letter telling Santa who's been naughty or nice.  Being able to tell him in person this year was much more fun.  

20 always sees the good in everyone so he's really hasn't fibbed when Maisie gets a good present each year ;-).

This was the year he got recruited, 2011.  Look how young 20 looked back then!  

Bea went along, too.  She was concerned that because her full name is Naughty Bea that Santa might be confused and that she ought to go put in a good word plead her case.  He assured her that he knew how hard she was trying and that her stocking would be full on Christmas morning.

"Ho Ho Ho!"
