Last year, I bought Cheekie a dog treat advent calendar. It was $10 or $12 for 25 dog treats. Most of which he didn’t like. In that case, the advent calendar was mostly for me.

Scaring yourself; poem
Plumber in. Plumber out. What kind of leaky smells will sprout? ~ In the silent darkness of the night, odors can give quite the fright. ~ Chico; my Chihuahua and I, are down for the count.
