Merry Christmas from the Buddies!
We will be with our extended family on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Buddy won’t be at the large family gatherings on Christmas Eve (allergic family members) or Christmas Day (three pooches will be present and obviously you can’t have a Buddinese tiger walking loose, for the dogs’ protection), but he will get to participate in the Christmas morning gift-giving among immediate family, he’ll get leftovers and he’s already had quite a bit of excitement with my nieces around.

We hope all of you are able to be with family or friends this holiday, and that your gathering is delicious. Cookie spreads are important, people! It’s not all about hors d’oeuvres and main courses. You’ve gotta go out with a bang! And make turkey so the leftovers can be taken home to your cat, of course.
Thanks for helping PITB — and Buddy’s legend — grow in 2023. We’re looking forward to 2024 when Bud will continue his quest for world domination.


Merry holiday to the buddies. He brightens my with his shenanigans. Hope he gets lots of turkey and scratchies. ❤️🐱😊

Happy Festivus & Christmas. Go ring in 2024 with joy & peace & a very healthy Little Buddy… You both bring Oreo & I such joy & I wish I could send you some via a comment here but since that isn’t happening, I hope you feel & know, that we’re grateful for you both. Thrilled Buddy’s health struggles are over & glad you healed from the war wound Buddy gave you when he obviously wasn’t himself. I wish you all the best & more for the year to come. Talk upon your return to your blog to tell us of all the adventures of the holiday & answer the burning question, Do good little Buddy’s get real turkey on Christmas when their Big Buddy is a vegetarian??? Inquiring minds want to know! Lololol, just kidding, go have a blast & many rubs & scritches to the amazing & awesome Buddy! ⭐️🎄🎁🕯

Unfortunately no turkey for Bud this year. Christmas Eve is the traditional Italian-American seafood dinner: calamari, clams and other nasty, foul-smelling seafood, and I think tomorrow the main course is ham.
I’m having eggplant parm tomorrow. I might bring a very small amount of ham home for Bud but I have to be careful because it’s salty. I think he’s out of luck for turkey this year though.
Thanks for the Christmas wishes. Likewise, I hope you and Oreo and your family have a nice, safe Christmas, and I hope Santa treats you both well.

We had the traditional store bought lasgna for Christmas Eve. It wasn’t great but it saved me from having to cook. And it actually was veg!

Merry Christmas, Big n Little Buddies. You have brought a lot of pleasure to me & inspiration to Cop-car T. Cat, Princess Catastrophe & Igor Volodymyr Grey-paw whose hero Lil Buddy is. Watch out for the cookies or you may both need larger fur coats in ’24.
