You know what? It am almost here!
You know I is talking about Christmas.I is very excited. I bet you is too.
Just one more sleep to Christmas!
I has been trying to sleep but I is so excited. You know I is the greatest sleeping dog in the world so you know how excited I has to be!
I has beed so good for almost a WHOLE MONTH! I know I is going to get all the great loot I deserves!
I is still having great adventures of course. I is just that kind of dog.
I went to the food store to get me some Christmas dinner and you won't believe what I seed!
Look at him!Does you know what kind of dog he is? I sure didn't. So I says, "Hey you! Merry Christmas. What kind of dog you is?"
And he said in this big voice, "Merry Christmas, Shelby!" When you am a famous fighting dog like
me everybody knows who you is. "Isn't the right way to start a conversation by asking me my name?""You am right! Merry Christmas, what you name and what kind of dog is you?"
"My name is Blackie and I am not a dog. I am a donkey! And a very handsome donkey at that!"
"So you am a donkey dog? That am interesting I doesn't have me no donkey dog buddies. I is glad to knows you Blackie!"
Then I herd something crazy! Living next to Blackie was this!!
I yelled at them, "Hey you big fat birds! Happy holidays! Why isn't you flying?"All they said to me was "Cawakkk! Buck cluck cluck!"
Then that big fuzzy thing what looked like Robin said, "They can't fly! They are chickens. Happy holidays, Shelby!"
"Happy holidays fuzzy thing! What am you name and what kind of dog is you?
"I'm not a dog, Shelby! I'm a lamb and Lamb is my name! The big lady behind me is my mom. She's a sheep!""Hi, Lamb! You sure you am not a dog? You sure looks just like my buddy Robin!"
"You friend, Robin must be very handsome if he looks like me!" said Lamb.
"You knows what? I wants to chase you!"
"Oh that would be fun, Shelby but I have to stay here and say hello to people and wish them Season Greetings. It is a very important job!"
"Okay, when you am finished working I will come back here and chases you real good! Seasons greetings, Lamb!"
Then I saw something I couldn't believes. They was a big big noise!
Look!"You am almost as big as my buddy Blue! What am you name and what kind of dog am you?!?"
"Merry Christmas, Shelby. I am Moe the Camel!"
What kind of dog am a camel? Is that like a giant poodle? You looks just like my buddy Blue!"
He does too! See here am Blue:
You can see them big dumb boy eyes and the way hims mouth am always moving! Now looks at Moe! SEE! They am almost the same!And look at them legs! They has both got them dumb old long boy legs. I
think Blue am not just a dog. I think Blue am him a camel-dog!I is going to make Blue come here and meet Moe and I bets they talks the same language and everything!
It will be it a very interesting experiment.
I asked Moe one thing: "Moe, why is you behind a cage?"
"Shelby, I am in this cage because when I say Merry Christmas to people I likes to give them a
little nibble, just so they know we are friends. Well, some people just get all crazy when a camel gives them a little kiss like that!""You know what. That am just what my buddy Blue him does too!"
Then we had to looks at my Christmas tree.
See, I even put up a little tiny tree so Robin and Blue will has a place to put they little tiny presents and leaves more room under the big tree for my loot!I know what you is thinking. You is saying, "Shelby, that is a very beautiful tree. But somehow it just doesn't look all gorgeous like I'd expect your tree to look."
That am because it don't has no presents under it yet! And there am one more thing missing.
Them little sparkly lights!Now you is saying, "Oh Shelby you are always right! That tree is a hundred times more gorgeous now!"
Just wait till you see it all covered with Shelby toys and treats!
You has to have good lights on your tree or else Santa might trips in the dark and hurt himself and forget to leave you your loot!
Then Robin, him says, "Shelby, we have so much great stuff we need to do something for all those dogs out there who don't have as much as we do!"Now Robin am just a dumb old boy so I was me amazed cause he were exactly right! So I used my genius brain and comed up with a genius plan! I told my genius plan to Blue and Robin. Always remember when you is talking to boys they am not geniuses like us girls. They am BOYS! So you has to explain everything real slow! Otherwise when they messes it up, which they will do anyway, it will be you fault!
My plan am this. We plays Santa Claus! We makes us some good dog presents and then we goes and takes them to good dogs!The best dog present am it something to eat. So we decides to make a toy that you can eat!
I is such a genius!
Here am what we makes:
Now you am probably drooling and thinking, "I sure wish I was a good dog. Those sure look delicious!"You would be right! They is very delicious. We didn't want no dog to get sick or get one that am not delicious so each time we made two of them treats we would eat one!
That is quality control and it is delicious!
Then we wrapped them treats up so pretty. See, now them good dogs not only gets them a delicious treat they gets a great picture of me!Christmas just don't get no better than that!
After we got them treats all dolled up Robin got he all excited because we was going to pretend to Santa. David had to come with us cause none of us is allowed to be crossing streets by ourselves. I don't know why. We is plenty faster than him!So we all wents and David carried our great package of treats.
Now David said we should just go up to a house and leave the treats in the mailbox real quiet and then let them lucky dogs who has been visited by Santa Shelby, Santa Robin and Santa Blue be all surprised when they finds them delicious Christmas snacks.
How dumb is that?
I let David sneaks up but us three guys were all yelling! "This am Shelby who am delivering you some delicious treats. You be sure to tell Santa what a good girl I is."
Then when we was leaving we'd yell, "They is still time to get a good present for us cause you want to say thank you!"
That am a much smarter plan because some of them poor dogs may only be pretending they is poor and might come and give us a good present cause we is so kind and generous!
Being nice to poor dogs always makes you feel pretty good! I used to picks up the garbage and sells it to people to gets me some money to buy them poor dogs food.
This am more fun. Santa will be thinking that we is such good dogs!Now all they is to do is wait for Christmas.
Blue were him all worried. He couldn't remember if he signed his letter to Santa!
It got really boring to listen to that so Robin just grabbed Blue and gave him a good shake! Robing said, "If Santa doesn't leave you anything you can have some of my presents!"
Blue were still him moping saying, "Oh you'll probably just give me any extra socks or underwear you get. That's not as much fun as a rawhide! And what about ,y ride to go visit my pal Jimmy! Jimmy'll be awful sad if he doesn't get to see his good Blue Buddy at Christmas.
That am a picture of my brother Jimmy. Who am all covered in good eating snow. I has to admit that he do look kind of sad. Maybe its because he wants Blue to come by. I don't know.Then I got worried because with all of Blue's crying I was worried Santa would think, "Hmm, listen to all that crying. Those dogs must have been awfully bad and be crying because they know they isn't going to get no presents!"
So I went and beats old Blue up!
When you am fighting Shelby you sure don't have you no time to be crying!We had us a terrible good fight. It were so good even Robin got into it. Oh, we was fighting and scrapping and laughing!
It were terrible good Christmas fun, just terrible good!
Now we has to go pretend to sleep. Santa don't come if you am not sleeping! I don't know how she knows but she do!I will come back and show you all my Christmas loot cause you know I is going to get some great stuff. I sure hope I get that helicopter. I really needs that!
So you just waits. I bet you is going to have a great Christmas too! You am my friend so of course you will!If you should get any extra ice cream you am not going to use you could send it to me!
Blue am pretending to sleep . . . he wants to say, "Merry Christmas" to all my good buddies. I like when you write to me. Shelby is very mean and won't always let me use her computer to answer you but I do answer you in my head."
Now Robin, him wants to say, "Have a Merry Christmas, a Happy Hanukah and a Happy Kwanzaa. If you don't get enough presents I will probably get so many I can share some of mine so you just be happy happy and be nice to dogs and to people and to my mom."
And I is the great Shelby and I just says you is going to have a great Christmas and all that because we am friends. If you needs doctoring I will come there and beats you up real good! So you better have you a great Holidays!MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I got a book socks and a electric hand game. What did you get? I do not think Moe and Blue look like each other at all. Blue looks a lot crazier.
I hope you got everything you wanted for Christmas. Are you going to tell us what you got?
Merry Christmas to all you dogs.

What did you get for Christmas? I got a doll and a toy lion. The staff is taking us to a place for dinner where they have a show. I think it will be nice. I think you are all good secret Santas. I would like to hear Shelby yell. Blue does not look anything like a camel. Robin does look like a lamb. Robin is nice. We are watching tv and having fun. Merry Christmas.
