I is having a big party
And you has to come!You has to bring you own food. I is still a very poor dog. And it am only polite to bring me a good Christmas present.
It will be it a great party!
I has gone and invited all my friends in my neighborhood!
They am all going to come and play Christmas games and stuff.
It will be so good. All them dogs playing games and me bossing everything.
How could it be nothing less than the greatest Christmas party ever, especially if you come and brings me a good present! Even if you don;t has no great present you can come.
That am Big Dog. I fights him all the time. He am very excited about coming to a Shelby party.
Did you know Blue has got him a girlfriend! Actually he got him half a girlfriend. That there brown dog I is inviting is Rosa.
Blue am standing behind me and he am whispering to me, "Shelby, ask Rosa if she'll go the party and play with me. PLEASE!"
It am Christmas so I am still being extra extra good. I did not think it were it a good idea but I did it. Rosa said, "I'll be very
happy to come to your Christmas Party, Shelby, Thank you so much for asking me."And then I asked her Blue's question.
She just kind of frozed up and looked over my shoulder at Blue and then, you know what?
You won't believe it!
She started shouting, "You mean that dog who said I stunk
like flowers!! I know I forgive him but the NERVE!! Asking a proper lady for a date when we have not even been properly introduced!"She's still coming. Old Blue were pretty heartbroken. "Shelby, " he said, "I will never love another girl again except my mom and you."
After I beat him up for talking mushy to me I said, "Blue, you am so stupid! You just don't listen you you BOY! Rosa will come her to the party then I will properly introduces you then she will comes to the party with you!"
"Are you sure about that?
"Of course I is! I is Shelby and I is always sure!"
"Then I am all happy again! Let's fight!"
We had us a terrible good fight. I won of course and then I had to go out and gets me stuff for my Christmas party!First I went and looked me at some Christmas trees.
I likes pine trees. They smells pretty good and makes
pine cones which are good fun for playing. I was thinking it would pretty good to have me one of them trees in my house. But you know what?They cuts them trees down! I don't want no tree what am dead in my house. I already has me the greatest Christmas tree in the world. My brother Jimmy gived it to me!
I is figuring that my Aunt helped him pick it out
because it am too beautiful for a boy to have picked out on his own. I will send you pictures after we has dressed it all up for the party!Then I went me to a store what sells Christmas decorations and stuff. It had some pretty good stuff too, great stuff for a party for us dogs and kids!
It would be it a lot greater store if they gived free samples of
Christmas cookies to a good dog!After all that shopping I had to relax because I had a very important night coming up. I invented this good relaxing game. What you has to do is stand in a circle and then you chases each other real fast and tries to bite the butt of the guy in front of you. I won of course. It am a very great game and I is the new World Champion!
But I had to gets me ready to go out and look at CHristmas lights. Christmas lights am very important. They is not only good to look at but when Santa am flying him up way high in the sky them lights am the only way for him to see that it am your house!
If you don't has you big lights up he could misses your house and give your loot to
somebody not so good as you have been this last 3 weeks!That would be terrible.
David says that am not true that Santa always knows where you lives. All I know is that I gets me tons of Christmas loot and David hardly gets him any! So who am you going to believe!
You see that picture up there? That mess of squiggles and stuff. That am David's idea of a great picture of Christmas Lights. I don't know why I takes him with me
sometimes.Here am the house and the picture I has took. You can see I is a much better photogetter. I has taken the rest of these pictures so you know they am good!
Here am a nice little house. It is lighted up very pretty. It am not the Shelby prize winner cause it don't have no dogs or free cookies!
Here am the house that won the Shelby Prize last year. You see it has got a Santa on the roof so that when Santa flies by he knows to stop there!They am only one thing wrong with this house. It don't look no different from last year! You think Santa don't remember
stuff like that? She certainly do!I tell you something else. Them candy canes am not real! I went up and licked me one cause I was a little hungry and you know what?
They is all plastic and do not taste good at all!
I says that am false advertising! It am very mean to promise a girl candy and give her plastic!
These here are other good Christmas Lighted up house I looked at.
They has them all some good points and some bad points.
None of them showed a girl Santa Claus!!
That am the very worst part!
NONE of them was passing out free treats for a dog!
Blue liked him ALL of them!
Robin thought they were all pretty nice
David said they were all beautiful.
That am why I does not let boys judge Christmas lights!
They just do not know them how to tell the great from the good!
You is lucky cause I DO!
I is very good at telling people what it am they should be liking the best. So here it am the Winner of the 2008 Shelby Prize for Best Christmas House Lightening And Santa Signaling!!
It wins cause it had it a big old lighted up dog in front!
David says it am a reindeer. I told him I has seed plenty of dogs around here but never has I seed me a reindeer! So he is just wrong!
When we got home I heard from my old buddy Jack. Jack am that dog I was trying to teach to be smarter. He says he cannot
come to the party!!He were pretty sad about it but he had a good reason he had to him stay home.
The people he lives with am going to have them a baby!!
Jack has to stay home to protects them and to watch over that baby when it comes to live in his house.
That am very smart and shows I has teached him something!
He also says he has to make sure the new baby doesn't try and eat any of Jack's food!
Then my brother Jimmy sended me a picture of his party! I couldn't believe all the food he has gotted hisself!
I think being my brother has
rubbed off on Jimmy. Getting all that food to guard were pretty smart! I is going to make David looks at this picture so he will know he should let me guard the refrigerator!There am just one more week of being good and then it am Christmas! And this Saturday Am my party. I will take good pictures so that you won't miss you none of it!
It would be better if you come. But don't forget to bring you own food! I is to poor to be feeding all of you! And presents. That am very important. Or brings me food presents, that am very thoughtful at Christmas and Santa will think you is being good!

You have so much fun. We have a Christmas tree on our floor. It is nice. There is a real big one in the lobby. It is beautiful. There aren't any presents under it. Theres a desk under it. Your tree will have to be pretty great to be as pretty as this one. I would come to your party and give you a big hug and a tummy rub. I know you like that. Blue can be my boyfriend. He is handsome. Your brother looks just like you. Merry Christmas.

All of you dogs sure look pretty. Your block looks pretty too. No one on my street has any Christmas lights. You are lucky. I have a pretty tree in my living room. It is too soon for presents under it.
Merry Christmas Shelby, Blue, Robin. Rosa, Big Dog, Jack and Jimmy from Inez

Dear Shelby,
My invitation for your party must have gotten lost in the mail! I hope you had a fun time. Tell Carol she is smart, she noticed that you and I are so good looking! Thanks to Inez for her Merry Christmas wishes.
Merry Christmas wishes to all the kids and dogs :)

Your street looks nice. I like the one with the Santa on top. I have lights around my window and snow from a can. You can come visit me. I like Jimmys clothes and Blue looks sad. He has a lot of friends. I would not be sad if Blue was my friend.

Just 3 days to go! I want a wii.

Sometimes when I get scared I think about you and Blue and Robin. You make me laugh. I know you are very brave. I wish you could visit me for Christmas. My mama will come see me. She is okay. She is not fun like you. I want the iPod you can play games on. I like all the lights on the houses. I think it is smart to have the same tree every year if it is a beautiful tree. Merry Christmas from Emily.
