Yay! My person finally did it. After all the hard work I’ve been doing cleaning up the kitchen floor lately she finally decided to reward me. I didn’t know it at first. I went to clean the floor as usual, and something tasted a little different. I didn’t know why.
And then when my person pulled those cookies out of the oven they smelled different. They didn’t smell like the usual run of the mill people cookies that she’s been making lately.
And then I got the best surprise of all. My person gave me a cookie. She let me eat one. Sweet!!! She said she got the recipe from one of my blogging buddies at For the Love of My Dogs. You can check the recipe out here. My person would never have made me cookies if she hadn’t seen that post so I am really thankful. It would be great if all my dog blogging friends got special cookies for Christmas.
But you know what my person did after she made those cookies? She packaged them up and put a bow on top and put them in the freezer. She said I don’t get any more cookies until Christmas. She said they’re a Christmas present for me.
What’s with this Christmas thing? I want my cookies now!
If you want to see more of my Christmas wishes (and Scratchy’s too – my person made me mention Scratchy) then hop on over to Rumpy’s blog. He posted our letters to Santa Paws.

Oh, waiting for Christmas is the hardest thing, Bongo. It’s a torture device big people use on little people and animals. 🙂 But worth it. Only two. more. days! 🙂 Merry Christmas, Bongo!

Laurie, counter surfing is one of my favorite sports – but only when no one is looking.

Oh, what a Merry Christmas you will be having Bongo!!! Not that much longer to wait! Those cookies are loved by many dogs including the collies here. Ginger says she is hopping the train to where you live so she can have cookies…. but when I told her what she is having for Christmas is cookies also she thought she would eat hers first then come visit you! LOL…
Enjoy your cookies Bongo!
Merry Christmas,
Chuck and the Collies 🙂

Chuck and the Collies, I’m not sure if I have enough cookies to share with Ginger, so I’ll just get my person to make some more. Then I’ll get my person to drive to the train station in Flagstaff to pick Ginger up. It would be fun to have another dog here for Christmas. Merry Christmas!

I love cookies. One of my favorite people baked cookies for me for Christmas. I don’t know what recipe she used, but they have peanut butter in them and they taste wonderful!

Lola, peanut butter cookies sound great. I’ll have to get my person to make me some of those next time – I hope I don’t have to wait until next Christmas. Merry Christmas!

Soon Bongo…soon it will be Christmas and cookie time. Don’t eat them all at once. Save them to enjoy over the holiday week. Madam Lasagna is very jealous. She knows she is getting “healthy” treats for a gift because of her diabetes. Maybe I can find a yummy healthy treat recipe on “the net.” Merry Christmas Bongo. We are enjoying your holiday posts.

Nanina and Madam L, I’d eat those cookies all at once if I got the chance but my person knows me too well and she’ll keep most of them hidden from me. I hope Madam Lasagna gets something yummy and healthy for Christmas. Merry Christmas to you.

Kevin, I wish you could join me too, but then I’d have to talk my person into making another batch of cookies so there would be enough for both of us. Merry Christmas!
