Twas the night
before Christmas and all through the inn
Not a pup was
stirring, not even Finnegan
The stockings
were hung at the front desk with care
Looked after by
Zeus and Penny and Bear
The Labs were all
nestled snug in their beds
Rocco and Zane
even shared one with Zed
With Sugar in her
sweater and Buddy his cap
They had all
settled in for a long High Tail nap
When out on
Revere there arose such a clatter
Zoe and Carter
rose to see what was the matter
Away to the
window Marco ran like a flash
With a full moon
lighting the street with a glow
Saxon and Otto
sat wanting to know
What would cause
Aiden to yell out a howl
Could it really
be Saint Nick out on the prowl?
First Bella and Fred
started to wiggle
Then even Wasser
started to giggle
Stockton thought
of treats, Louie of bones
It was all too
much for Lily who started to moan
Tonight’s the
night, Jessie barked twice
Ollie kept
turning circles knowing he’d been nice
They’d all get
treats, of that they were sure
Liam nose-bopped
each one just to keep score
All watched as
St. Nick filled each stocking that hung
They’d waited for
this night since each was so young
Abby sniffed up
as the smell of treats wafted in
Timmy and Apollo
licked their lips in a big grin
The old fat man
gathered them all on the grass
Even Dozer and
Simba and Kimbo and Cash
With a twinkle in
his eye he held up a hand
And an unusual
hush fell over High Tail-land
„We’re all so
fortunate we have one another,
Keep being good
to the humans and to each other.”
And as St. Nick
leaned in toward them all
He touched each
one’s head and by name he did call
„This is my
favorite stop every year!
I wish all the
world was as nice as it is here!”
And with that he
was off in a jump and a spin
Out through the
dog-door and gone with a grin
But one thing
could be heard as he vanished from sight
„Merry Christmas
to all and to all a good- night!”
