Did I miss Fufu & the gang.......

Well a few of us: Boo, Roo, Boy n Baby, Lillie V, Butchy & Snickers, and I were going to visit Santa Paws and the plan was for Fufu to come and pick us up in FufuMOBILE and then we would head over to Zach's place first since he lives at the North Pole to make sure we're on the right track. You can read details about this trip on Fufu's blog.

Anyway, I was so excited about this trip, but I had to work today. Yeah, life's tough sometimes. So I tried very hard to be professional and not get too carried away about this exciting trip during my photo shoot for Old Navy.






However, you know how it goes with models. You do shoot after shoot, and they always want you to tilt your head just a little more for that one last shot, the there is always a last shot. Anyway, we were running very late, and I was very worried that I had missed my ride on the FufuMOBILE.

So as soon as I got off from set, I started running around with my sign asking passersby if they had seen .......



NO???



Still no??



AND NO??

I got so tired of running around and was honestly sick that the photographer and director made me work extra hours on the night of the important mission. So I laid down with my sign, and I LET THEM KNOW what I thought about this whole over-time thing!



I waited for a little while longer, but still no sign of FufuMOBILE or any of my buddies. It was also getting dark, so I decided to put on some of the clothes I had brought with me. Zach told us North Pole was gonna be cooooooold, so I brought lots of extra stuff to keep me warm.

First I put on my HOT PINK fleece jumper suit made by my designers - Butchy & Snickers. I thought that HOT PINK was for sure bright enough for Fufu to see me all the way from Singapore.



Unfortunately, it didn't seem to be bright enough.....

Next, I put on my boots, my ROOTS scarf, my skiing goggles to protect my eyes from the snow, and lastly, what's Christmas without Christmas spirit? So I put on my Santa hat too.



They still didn't come...... So I thought maybe I ought to try a different look, and put on my sun hat.



Well still nothing happened!!! So I thought, maybe I needed to stand out a little more ya know....



Even more??



BUT NOOOOOOOOO!! Nobody came! I think I have either missed the gang, or I might have miscalculated the time difference...

Hey, so if you guys see this message, please make a detour and come pick me up. I'll be dressed as above so you won't miss me ok?? Oh, and anybody that's reading this, you are welcome to join us on the X-mas Eve extravaganza!!


Special Note to Fufu:

Dear Fufu,

I just want to let you know how a little hamsterrier in Singapore brought the holiday spirit half way around the world to Vancouver.

Since our printer at home has been printing scary green stuff and I needed the sign made, mum took me to our local office/printing store to have the picture printed. There was a long line up, lots of last minute cards, posters that people wanted to have made. The manager was there all by himself because who would've thought it would be this busy the day before X-mas Eve. Things were going slow; people in the line up were getting antsy, impatient, and to make things worst, one of the computers they use to pull images up was down. It was just one of those "bad mornings" if you know what I mean.

The woman in line ahead of us was in a hurry, and she took her frustration out on the store manager who was trying his best to help everyone using just one computer. She was being very rude, not nice at all. After she left, it was our turn. The manager of course was not in the best of mood, neither were the people still standing in the long line up. He took mum's disc and put it in the computer.

AND THEN,

all of a sudden,

he had a HUGE smile on his face.

Nobody knew what put that big, warm smile on this man's face, or what changed his mood in a split second. But mum and I knew.

The manager brought the printed picture of you, Fufu, in your FufuMOBILE to mum, and he said: "That is really cute, just what I need it. Thank you and Merry Christmas!" He didn't charge us for the print.

Mum turned around and saw all the curious faces in the line up behind us. She thought all those people needed to loosen up, so she turned the paper around and held it up so everyone could see the adorable picture of you and your FufuMOBILE. Then mum yelled out "MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!!".

It was amazing, the mood in that entire store changed almost instantaneously. People were smiling, saying Merry Christmas back to us, and they were chatting to the people beside them about how cute that hamster in the picture was and how they once had a hamster too and on and on and on.

We left the store feeling really good because caring, giving, and forgiving is what Christmas is all about. Nobody should be chastised during this magical holiday. We should all be HAPPY, and even tho it was just 10 or so people in that store, Fufu, you brought the Christmas spirit to all of them.
