My dog Rexy and I sat by the fire.

My dog Rexy said, “What do you think Santa will bring me?”

I said, “Probably something rawhide related. What do you think he’ll bring me?”

My dog Rexy said, “I think you’ll get an apple or orange since you are such a fan of fruit.”

From the chimney a voice shouted, “I’m sorry, but I can’t come down your fireplace at this time due to the fire. I’ll try again next year.”

A moment passed.

My dog Rexy said, “Could I have one of your shoes?”

I said, “Yes. Would that be okay if I had one of your biscuits?”

My dog Rexy said, “Of course.”
