Hey Woofa’s,

Did you know, including today, there are only 4 SUNDAY’S LEFT BEFORE CHRISTMAS?

I don’t know about you, but I’m one of those people who buys their dog Christmas Presents.

Why not?  They’re part of the family too!

I tried wrapping Billy’s present earlier in the week actually, but he kept trying to find his rubber squeaky pig!!

I’m going to have to wait until Dean takes him for a drive before I can wrap his stuff.

I’ve also bought presents for three of my friend’s dogs Diesel, Bundy and Abby.

Many of my Henabel’s Dog Grooming customers always have Christmas presents for their dogs also.

So we’re not alone, there’s a tribe of people who buy their dogs Christmas presents.

As I try to each Christmas, I’ve put together a Christmas Gift List For Your Dog, just in case you were stumped about what to buy them.

The good thing with dogs is, most of them are easily pleased.  Whether you’ve got a lot of money to spend or not much at all, no matter what you give them they’ll love it.

Mostly though all they want is love, attention, toys and cheese!!!

Seriously, whose dog doesn’t love cheese??
