The most wonderful time of the year has finally arrived and boy do we have an incredible Christmas Season lined up for all you Mamma Biscuit lovers out there! As you all know, Christmas is Mamma’s most favorite holiday of the year and she will be sharing her most festive moments, her outlandish decorations at the pug palace, and her general holiday excursions throughout New York City during the entire month of December—so buckle up people, because unlike
Susan Powter, the insanity starts NOW!

A visit to the North Pole and some face time with Santa Clause is all Mamma Biscuit needed to usher in the season! So on Black Friday, while most Americans were out trampling over each other like cattle at the gates of Wallmart (all in hopes of getting their bloated fingers on the latest waffle maker) we Biscuits were at Dees’ Nursery out in Oceanside, Long Island having a good old laugh with Santa as he doted adoringly over our little gremlin! Too soon you might think but remember, the early bird gets the worm! But don’t get it twisted folks, we did have our fair share of shopping throughout the day (Hello, Century 21) however, we Biscuits are not about camping out in line for anything—unless of course it’s Versace for H&M, and boy was that worth it!

But back to this North Pole vignette with Santa and Mamma Biscuit. Dees’ Nursery has the best Santa I have ever encountered in the industry. His beard is totally real and in just the right shade of silver/white. He also has the best set of rosy cheeks I have ever seen outside of a Norman Rockwell painting. It’s amazing how Santa has Mamma Biscuit on memory lock-down and actually looks forward to our visit every year. When he gets his hands on our little gremlin for a photo opportunity, he becomes giddy with delight. He sticks out his tongue like Mamma and the rest is photographic history! Of course Mamma Biscuit did not disappoint in the fashion department. She was dressed to the nines in her Martha Stewart houndstooth coat and holiday reindeer brooch. Santa was very impressed! After a few kisses and a squeeze, Mamma gave Santa her wish list (which consisted mostly of a variety of soft-chew treats and a couture frock or two) and Santa promised to deliver as long as she does not run under the tree and break any ornaments or that she doesn’t pee anywhere in the house.

After giving him the side-eye and a lick, she hopped out of Santa’s embrace and skittered off into the Hanukkah aisle looking for something—for what, I don’t know, perhaps the truth? Anyway, we can only hope that she behaves before December 25th or else her stocking will be filled with coal! Now you all know we only take Mamma Biscuit to the very best and if you ever find yourself out on the Island in Oceanside, stop in and visit Santa and check out the amazing selection of holiday decor at Dees’ Nursery—this place will amaze you!

25 Days until Christmas, are you foaming at the mouth yet?

Enjoy

On this glorious Autumn day, we Biscuits would like to take the opportunity to pause, reflect and give thanks to the many wonderful friends and family in our lives! We are also incredibly grateful for the luxuries and securities that we have and never take any of our material privileges for granted. We thank Curly Tail Pug Rescue for the incredible work that they do as they give new life to tortured and unloved pugs everywhere. We thank them for bringing our beautiful Biscuit Lady into our lives and for giving her a second chance at love and happiness! We thank Mamma Biscuit for showing us the true magic of love and joy that dogs can bring to human beings and for simply being the fabulous pug that she is. Her terrible past is a painful yet important reminder that all suffering of animals (whether domesticated or farmed for food) deserves respect, love and nurture! Mamma’s new life with us in New York City and this blog is a perfect example of how rewarding it is to rescue a dog in need and to generally demystify the notion that dogs that are either considered to be too old, imperfect (by some bullshit breeder standard) or with a damaged past are less valuable or desirable than dogs from pet stores or breeders—the real root and cause for most of this torture to begin with. We continue this sentiment by thanking Farm Sanctuary for their tireless work in not only providing a safe-haven for animals that have endured pain and suffering beyond what anyone could ever imagine but that they also bring attention to such atrocities and demand reform where it’s so desperately needed.

On a lighter note, Mamma would like to give thanks to American pop culture at large that fuels this blog and the strange scenarios that she finds herself in. Her obsessed daddies have really put her through the ringer in the name of pop culture and secretly, she loves every moment of it. Mamma would especially like to give thanks to her favorite muse Madonna for being the fiercest bitch that any real bitch (a female dog) could ever aspire to be! And finally, the Biscuits would like to give a special thanks to all of her fans out there in the world (you guys) for showing your support and interest in our four-legged beast with an abnormally long tongue! Thank you all for tuning into Mamma’s corner on the web and for encouraging the insanity of her life—only you guys could share the dark and twisted humor of viewing a photo of a pug in a corset-bra and pony tail wig.

Expressing true gratefulness is difficult in one day, for grateful deeds span throughout the year, however, the abundance of joy and love that Mamma Biscuit brings to us everyday allows us to feel the gratitude we feel most on this very day—all year long. May you all enjoy a delicious meal with your loved ones—Mamma will sure be begging for some Tofurkey during ours!

Happy Thanksgiving ya’ll, let the insanity of Christmas begin!

Enjoy
