MERRY CHRISTMAS!  Today is one of my favourite days of the year.  I get stuff.  Lots and lots of stuff.  Hehehe.  I also get to have an extremely lazy day.  I have been lazing around on the couch with Chubbs.  Even he knows it’s a day for rest.  He was out cold during Iron Man.  I got the Blu-Ray from my girlfriends parents.  2 hours of action and the bulldog was fast asleep!  As I type this my mom is rocking the kitchen trying to get all the dishes ready for dinner.  We have our usual dinner with my uncle and cousin coming over.  This is definitely a bad time of year to attempt getting into shape!  Tomorrow is going to be another exciting day as Julie comes back to town and we do our Christmas.  She always gets me a bunch of good stuff, so I am very excited for that.  I will most likely be posting from her place tomorrow and I will show some pics of the presents.  I hope everyone has an awesome day today.  To help you with that, here is a funny little comic that explains where the Xbox 360 got it’s name.

That’s right!  I promised you some big news.  And here it is: my girlfriend and I got a new baby bulldog yesterday.  At 3 months old this monster already weighs in at 26lbs.  He will definitely get over 60lbs when all is said and done.  We decided to name him Chubbs.  It seemed fitting considering his body type.  Yesterday was a pretty busy freakin’ day.  It started by picking up some supplies at Walmart.  This was big because I HATE going to Walmart.  And, it was a Saturday during the Christmas rush.  Scary!  Here is a shot of me outside the Walmart…

Then we had to go pick him up.  That involved getting more supplies and going over all the medical stuff and signing papers.  Julie took care of that stuff while I rolled around on the floor with Chubbs.  Once we got him home we set up shop and let him sniff his new surroundings.  One thing that is definitely a worthy investment was Training Pads.  These things are absorbant pads to use instead of newspaper.  They are apparently scented to encourage the dog to pee on them.  THEY WORK!  He runs right over to it and takes a leak.  Now, he is only 1 for 4 when pooing on the pad.  We are still working on getting him to realize that he is supposed to do all that stuff outside.  I also discovered that he loves beer.  Now, before you people start emailing me telling me how I shouldnt be giving beer to a puppy just relax.  The beer was in my hand and he kept going for it.  He ended up licking the top of the bottle.  I didn’t let him actually drink any.  Even in dog years I think he is still under age.  I am sure I have a ton of stories to write about, so I will save them.  I even have a cute video that I will throw on Youtube tomorrow.  Here are some pics…
