Merry Christmas every one! This year’s Holiday feature is “12 Days of Christmas Pets” and we’ll be featuring a different animal from now until 12th night (Or  until I run out of adorable images.) Last year’s “12 Days of Christmas Stories” was a big success, and I’m hoping this with help spread some Holiday cheer as well.

I  think I’ll start off this year’s fun with a dog who is near and dear to my heart — indeed she is at my feet as I write this. I bring you my  sweet, spirited, cockapoo, Honey.

Honey likes to take walks, bark at inanimate objects and sleep. She is blond with very curly hair. And she is an excellent guard cockapoo (just ask the mailman.)

Cat And New Year Tree

This somewhat grumpy Christmas Cat is actually from BIGSTOCK.com stock photography, not from one of my readers, but he gives you an idea of what I’m looking for “12 Days of Christmas Pets.” I’m sure with a little creativity you’ll come up with the purr-fect image.
