Santa Dog
killed by fallen tree
Central Valley
California 2023
Adventures of Collie, Millie,
and Tyler
|
Tyler, Millie, Collie, and Angel had all been good dogs
during 2023.
Santa Dog
was sure to come and bring them what they
wished for.
|
|
"Wake up Collie!"
You're exposing yourself again. Not that I care, but
its time to go out and hunt for
Santa Dog
. He
hasn't shown up so we better find him.
"Let's find Santa
Dog!"
said
Verne as he
called the pack to attention.
"OK you
maniacs! Listen up!
We have to search for
Santa Dog
because he
hasn't found our house yet. Let's go!"
"Arf! What
Santa Dog
look like?"
asked
Tyler.
Verne replied
"Huge, fat dog in
red fur coat. Rides a sleigh with a bunch of deer
pulling it...he howls giving out free toys & treats to
puppies all over the world."
Tyler
nodded
"Got it!"
|
|
|
|
|
Oh no! We found Santa Dog in his
sleigh smashed under this redwood
that blew down during the storm.
Oh poor
Santa Dog
! Oh poor reindeer!
|
|
Santa Dog had
been crushed flat
along with his sleigh and
deer team.
Verne saw the sadness in his German
Shepherd's eyes.
"Sorry Tyler. Santa Dog is dead
under there.
Let's move on."
|
|
|
Collie said
"Don't need
Santa! We have everything we want and need. We dogs
have you, Verne, and all the fun on the ranch.
Don't sweat this "No Santa Dog thing we're all
good!"
|
|
|
|
Millie said
"Yeah! Big fun
ranch, big fun life with you guys! We don't need
anything from Santa Dog!"
|
|
|
|
Soon it was forgotten that
Santa Dog
had been
squashed by a tree. They decided to make the best of their 4
AM dog adventure after the big winter rain storm.
|
|
It was silent,
cool, wet, and lovely as they explored the sleepy
ranch town that Christmas eve night.
It was a
wonderful night!
|
|
|
The collie
sisters told each other they only wanted to keep
living together and have more fun.
Tyler
looked at Verne and said
"Me, too! I just want
to keep living with you and the collies, and the
sheep, and the sheep dog, and the cats, and the
rabbits, and the ducks...but most of all Bobcat my
cat friend. Cat is good friend to Tyler."
Verne felt his eyes get wet as the love for his
dogs swelled up in him. He was a very lucky boy, he was
very grateful.
|
|
|
All the dogs were happy. At home Verne would bring out
bath towels to rub down each one in what they
called
"Big fun towel off!"
It was a dog favorite,
and on Christmas eve it would be a special
present of love from their master.
