Someone's been a good boy

Dear Diary,

Happy New Year! I've had a wonderful Christmas this year. Apparently I've been a really good boy. Mommy got me tons of toys and treats. My human sister, Claire, got me a hug new ropey.  Dad gave me a bath. 

I felt really bad about chewing up all of Mom's slippers over my lifetime so I got her five new pairs for Christmas. I really love my Mommy.  Now that I'm older, I can really appreciate her. 

In fact, instead of chewing on her slippers today (even though I was dying to), I thought I'd start the new year off by trying to see the slippers from her point of view.  I can see why she likes them. But I still prefer to chew them. 

Love, Hank
