You know the song: On the first day of Christmas, my true love sent to me…. Let’s just skip to the last—and best—verse.
On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me:

Twelve Newfies drooling

Eleven Dachshunds digging

Ten Jacks a-leaping

Nine Poodles dancing

Eight Whips a-running

Seven Labs a-swimming

Six Hounds a-howling

Five Golden Doodles

Four Border Collies

Three French Pugs

Two Maligators, and

A Persian peeing indiscriminately!
Happy holidays to you and yours!

P.S. Need a last-minute gift idea or something to spend those Amazon gift cards on? My Mercy Carr mysteries are excellent options. I’m just saying…
“And a Persian looking down from a tree…” 🙂 😉
