The Mixed Up Day
There's no turning back now, I'm all mixed up on my days. So how about a gift story about a child?? I mean it's close, right? Here's Frankie and Buster. He was our wonderful dog, seen here maybe at 8 months old. We got him 'used', long story, you know the type. Anyway, he was the greatest dog ever in the history of our family.(But don't tell Peep and Rocket) His genius was legendary. You can ask anyone in Frankie's elementary school. Buster was a shopping dog. He, not unlike Santa, could be counted on to get those gifts that weren't mom approved. The best year ever was the year Buster bought a fancy feathered fan from Nordstrom. You know,moms all find that kind of thing impractical and refused to buy it but dogs, well I think we all know dogs love those. Frankie was so in love with that fan. He carried that box with the big silver ribbon some how.. I'm not sure how he got to the mall (and some things are better left unsaid) but you could tell from the box, it was scrunched and there were teeth marks in one corner.
Santa and Buster were in constant communication over the years. CD's with questionable lyrics, Buster was on it. Makeup, Buster told Santa mom didn't approve. That's how it was with them. It was magic I tell you.
So that's today people. I just remembered that fan and it cracked me up. Its in a box in the garage, the original crunched box I think.
Today is Carrie's day. She has a dog, she'll understand. Hop and over and check out what she's up to. And come back tomorrow. Who knows what I'll have in store!

Pam - what a great story! Frankie was lucky to have Buster!
What a cute story Pam! Isn't it funny how we all have a "greatest dog in the history of dogs"? I've enjoyed all your Christmas memories!
You ingenious thing! I never thougt of blaming the dog!
I love this story. We have a family dog and I think I will have to use this story and send my dog to the mall. Or better yet she can buy online and not have to leave the house. I wonder what she will find for me for Christmas...
Awwwwww! You're gonna make me cry with that story about Buster. That was a dog with true Christmas spirit. ::sniffle::
You are such a hoot! I have two Buster's that get Krissy all the things I say no or I don't think so too. Isn't that something. One is a Golden Retriever named Sadie (she's a princess and knows it) and the other is a Chihuahua/Pomeranian mix named Ruby (she's a Diva and knows it). They always go against my better judgement with eye rolls and all! LOL
Dogs are people too! LOL! We had a schnauzer, Boomer, that was SO smart! (Of course, that breed is known for smarts!) She got into a wrapped package under the tree one year. I don't remember exactly what was in it, but it was an edible. Boomer loved to eat!
Cute story. My daughter just got a puppy this year. Wonder what stories she will have to tell after Christmas.

You all had a Buster - we have a Murphy, a Molly and a Lily. And oh what a LILY we have...She's a dilly of a Lily!! If you've never seen a dog smile - you haven't seen our LILY. She came along unexpected - you understand what I mean - when you least expect it - you don't want it - you GET it - and LOVE it.
I love it! Our family has a gift giving cat. He always bought us things like puzzles to put together during the holidays, snacks to enjoy with it,family games etc. His gifts were so thoughtful. He died several years ago, but somehow still gets his gifts under the tree. Amazing, huh?
That is so cute. I love it.
You're right! I DO understand! And I love Buster! That's a "gift from a kid" story and a "kid story" together. (And let's be honest, everyone who's ever had and/or loved a dog knows that most dogs are better "people" than a lot of people.)
And I'm with you about running out of Christmas stories! Your daughter is a genius! I just remembered that the best gift I ever got was from a child... a Red Ryder air rifle... Do you think anyone will notice if I use one of those Patchwork Place Christmas quilt books for my pictures tomorrow?
Adorable historia. Tambien tenemos tres perros, y la preocupacion mayor es como protegerlos de los ruidos de los cohetes que se tiran en esa epoca.
That is a great story. Santa brought my daughter a Bratz Girlz makeup kit....Cassie was panicked. Mom would never allow her to have anything Bratz in the household and makeup on top of that. But if Santa brought it what could you do! Thanks for all you do.
Love your buster story!!!
Funny. Buster was definitely a more well rounded gift giver than our dogs. Ours give candy, the sodas we won't buy, etc.
But they don't go to the mall.
I LOVE THIS STORY! Seriously, it's better then Ralphie and his family's Christmas Story.
Oh Pam... this is such a great story. I smell movie deal! Kidding of course, but also not. I LOVE THIS STORY!
What a cute story Pam! I love it!... and I will have to remember it for future use also!!!
I think your story was just perfect.
Sometimes 'used' dogs are the best kind! Buster sure was cute!
I love your story of "Buster". Frankie must have had a lot of fun with him. Our first dog was a broken coat Jack Russell called "Buster" and he was also a wonderful character.
Buster! Where were you when I was growing up? And you were so handsome, to boot!
The only thing that ever got blamed on dogs in my house was "Who farted?"
You know, my Barkley might be a good shopper, if I gave him some pocket change and bus fare. Although he would probably spend it all on hot dogs and squirrel heads.
I love it! You got Buster "used"! Ha, we had a wild yellow lab named Buttercup that we had to give up as used. We gave her to a family with seven children. I've heard that Buttercup keeps the children tired LOL!!
That child! That dog! So SWEET. I could just look at that picture all day. :-)
You can tell from looking at the picture that Buster was a sweetheart. Great story.

Love your Buster story, I have a doggie as well her name's Prisca, she thinks she's a queen, lol
Frankie is always a cutie patootie in her pics but That DOG... I am a cat person but I could actually kiss that cute fluffy doggie right smack dab on his dog lips!
We have always had a household of animals from when we were little to each of us six sibs now. I swear the animals get more Christmas shopping done than the rest of us. Presents from Spooky, Tugger, Rex, Hector, Jethro, Elsa, and the list goes on. And they all got presents, too. Usually a can of some deluxe food they wouldn't ordinarily get and a new ball or toy!
They get by with a lot, don't they!
