[Dailydrool] christmas rules

[Helena Poist]

1. Be especially patient with your humans during this time. They may
appear to be more stressed-out than usual and they will appreciate long
comforting dog

ies/funny-christmas-stories-24.html>  leans. 

 2. They may come home with large bags of things they call gifts. Do not
assume that all the gifts are yours. 

 3. Be tolerant if your humans put decorations on you. They seem to get
some special kind of pleasure out of seeing how you look with fake
antlers. 

 4. They may bring a large tree
<http://www.short-funny-stories.com/funny_stories/s-funny-christmas-stor
ies/funny-christmas-stories-24.html>  into the house and set it up in a
prominent place and cover it with lights and decorations. Bizarre as
this may seem to you, it is an important ritual for your humans, so
there are some things you need to know: 

 a. Don't pee on the tree 

b. Don't drink water in the container
<http://www.short-funny-stories.com/funny_stories/s-funny-christmas-stor
ies/funny-christmas-stories-24.html>  that holds the tree 

c. Mind your tail when you are near the tree 

d. If there are packages under the tree, even ones that smell
interesting or that have your name on them, don't rip them  open .

e. Don't chew on the cord that runs from the funny-looking hole in the
wall to the tree 

 

5. Your humans may occasionally invite lots of strangers to come visit
during this season. These parties can be lots of fun, but they also call
for some discretion on your part: 

a. Not all strangers appreciate kisses and leans 

b. Don't eat off the buffet table

c. Beg for goodies subtly 

d. Be pleasant, even if unknowing strangers sit on your sofa 

e. Don't drink out of glasses that are left within your reach 

 6. Likewise, your humans may take you visiting. Here your manners will
also be important: 

a. Observe all the rules in #4 for trees that may be in other people's
houses. (4a is particularly important) 

b. Respect the territory of other animals that may live in the house 

c. Tolerate children 

d. Turn on your charm big time 

 7. A big man with a white beard and a very loud laugh may emerge from
your fireplace in the middle of the night. 
                                       DON'T BITE HIM!!
