In a time-honored holiday tradition among household pets, Nanaimo and Chinook drink deeply from the wassail bowl we have so thoughtfully provided. What is it about that evergreen-flavored water that they crave? They probably ask the same question about our eggnog.
The guys haven’t cooperated for a portrait of both of them together on the hearth, so these two photos will have to do. Chinook hopes Santa will bring him some smoked salmon for Christmas (he’s living up to his name and loves the tidbits snuck to him when The Gimlet isn’t watching) but will settle for any cookie crumbs Santa drops during his visit. While waiting for Santa’s visit he satisfies his mooching urges by cleaning up after Thing Two’s snacks.
Judging from his size (and he’s only six months old!) you might guess Nanaimo has already polished off Santa’s cookie plate, and perhaps the jolly old elf himself, too. But unlike Chinook, Nanaimo doesn’t beg for treats. Nanaimo would like his very own sewing basket for Christmas, filled with balls of perle cotton (#8, please) to knock off the table and bat around the room. Given his fondness for embroidery, and some of his other holiday escapades, there is some question whether Nanaimo will be on Santa’s “nice” or “naughty” list.
Looking angelic in an effort to butter up Santa, Nanaimo is large enough to play the parts of all the manger animals in our childproof and kittenproof creche.
It wouldn’t be the holidays without dressing up the pets and children! The kittens looked so handsome in their green velvet jingle ruffs, but it would appear the Things had more fun than the kittens did. Note the classic limp pose, typical of the Ragdoll breed, especially when being humiliated.
