Hey fam! 😄🎄Just a quick tail wag from me, Milo, aka your furball of festivity! I’ve been painting Pawsburgh red with yuletide spirit, from serenading stars to dining on canine kabobs. Found warmth in a snazzy new coat and fetched gifts that had tails spinning. Ending it with a bark-worthy Christmas chorus and chewtoy dreams. Missing you all! 🐾✨ Love, Milo 🐶🎁

Listen to the story here

In Pawsburgh, the days stretching up to Christmas did gleam with the promise of yuletide revelry, and I, Milo, an ol’ Shitzu with more than a few tales in my satchel, was ready to add some spice to the season. Now, I’ll share with you, my friend, a chronicle of my adventures, ‘neath the glow of the great Dog Star, during those twelve days of doggone good cheer.

On the first day of Christmas, my tryst with the festal doings was quite the sight. I met Bella at Pinscher Plaza. She donned a ribbon twice the size of her ears and held a gift. ‘Twas a bone wrapped in red that gave our tails an additional wag to ponder.

Come the second day, in the heart of Vizsla Valley, Max had wisdom to impart. “Milo, festivity is in the giving,” he growled, a Santa hat askew on his head, “and in the fetching.” Lord knows, he had us gathering twigs to deck the hallowed halls of Pawsburgh’s hovel and kennel alike!

On the third day, Tinker splashed through the puddles of Cavalier Cove, each adorned with a shimmer like the star on a Christmas tree. And those lights did dance beneath our merry paws, each step a chime in the symphony of our holiday escapades.

Pom’s Pies on the fourth day gave an air of celebration, a symphony of scents that could make a grown Shitzu cry. Pecan, pumpkin, and apple too—that Pomeranian sure knows the way to my heart and stomach.

The fifth day brought a challenge, a frosty affair in Retriever’s Restaurant, where we dined on Canine Kabobs—threaded by none other than myself—with morsels of real chicken! These were the fruits of the season, the spoils of a year lived well, and by golly, no celery was seen that night.

Sixth was the shopping spree, where I found myself at The Snooty Snout Boutique. I was fitted for a coat that could rival the warmth of a hearth, likened to a frosted caramel cupcake by the perky terrier running the show.

Day seven arrived with a flash of cameras at Best in Show Photography. I posed with that rubber chicken (which, mind you, is more photogenic than one might assume), enshrining our bond for all posterity to marvel.

On the eighth, I trotted into Pawsitively Purrfect Pet Store. The treasures within! Collars that jangled like sleigh bells and toys that teased with mirth.

By the ninth, I was penning postcards, each a canvas bearing my paw print, dispatching them across Pawsburgh to every doghouse and den.

The tenth day found me orchestrating. That’s right, orchestrating a chorus of howls and barks, ‘neath the moonlight, serenading the stars themselves.

Upon the eleventh, we played Secret Santa. I fetched Bella a pompom that set her chasing her tail, and I, in turn, received a squeaker, a perfect twin to my heart’s beloved.

And then, the twelfth day arrived. The Twelve Dogs of Christmas gathered, each with the joy I had come to cherish. We feasted, we frolicked, we sang with spirits so high that the angels must’ve envied our chorus.

So here’s the tale, dear reader, of a canine Christmas spree—an odyssey of paws and friendships in the magical Pawsburgh. I leave you now with a wagging tail and visions of chew toys, and bids you to spin your own yuletide yarn, for every dog has his day and every Christmas its tale.

The End.
